We arrived
on Saturday morning (we had an
appointment with James Bond on Friday
evening)! Unfortunately the weather
wasn't great but the marshals still took
the children trick and treating on
Saturday afternoon. I can't believe how
many treats the children got -
absolutely fantastic.
On Saturday evening we made our way over
to the hall. The weather was appalling -
the rain just wouldn't stop. We waited
until we were called to go through the
tunnel of terror. Having not been to the
Halloween rally before we weren't sure
what to expect but it was clear that the
marshals had been really hard at work as
it was absolutely amazing!! We all know
the hall so well but strange how we lost
our bearings go through the tunnel. We
came out a different door to what I
expected! The children had been taken
into the hall already by Amanda so they
were waiting to see us come through.
The hall had been completely transformed
to. Its amazing what some bin liners can
do!
Everyone looked fantastic in their
costumes and most people had really made
an effort.
Thanks to Vince, Debbie, Shaz, Tony, the
children and the many, many helpers.

Please ensure you have read the Fire Safety

Rally Marshals may not have fire extinguishers available on the
rally field in future.
From October 2009 it will be a Suffolk Centre
recommendation that all caravans attending a rally should have a "fire bucket" filled with water adjacent to their "A" frame.
It is recommend that you have a fire extinguisher and fire
blanket in your caravan in case of emergency and regularly check
the batteries in your smoke alarm.
