Pig Roast Rally

July 2011

Woolverstone
 

Sheena and myself would like to thank everyone who attended the pig roast and made it such a great success for both charities, to raise more than last year in the present economic climate was truly amazing.

The rally got off to good start with vans waiting for the gates to open at 12 o`clock, the very efficient team of marshals quickly had them sited and the field soon filled up.

Sheena and myself again decided  to run the burger and hot dog stall  on Friday evening and with some help from David and Tracy had sold almost 200 when we closed at nine o`clock.

Saturday morning saw the field being prepared for the afternoon fete with many stalls set up we hoped for good weather but although it stayed dry it was chilly and overcast, however this did not stop everyone enjoying the afternoon with the stalls doing a brisk trade I spent the afternoon in the stocks and by the end I was very wet and cold but never mind all in a good cause.

It was then on to the pig roast with everyone setting up there tables in front of the marquee, at 6 o’clock all was ready and service began, pork in a roll, potatoes, rice and every salad ingredient you could think of and really lovely crackling all washed down with the famous pig roast punch.

On Sunday morning the marshals cooked a full English breakfast for those who wanted it then it was quickly on to flagpole where Paul and Jan received their horse for reaching 500 Suffolk Centre Rallies well done Paul and Jan.

Can I thank you all again for your part in making this rally such a success and the marshals and helpers for all their hard work not only during the rally but throughout the year it has to be seen to be believed the work that goes into making a rally like this run so smoothly, again thank you all very much.

Derek and Sheena
