Rede Hall Farm Rally

May 2007


New Mayday Holiday Rally is a Success

Friday
– We arrived in good time, having missed the accident on the A12, and were greeted by Janet Dobson although she was in the middle of her Fish & Chips!

Alan Dobson sited us together with his trainee Smithie.

That evening, although a bit chilly we were soon warmed up by the Tea, Coffee & biscuits and this was a good chance for conversation and to catch up with other ralliers. Amie having eaten most of the chocolate fingers, we decided that it was time to retire to our van for a quick board game and bed.


 

Saturday – Having had breakfast and having taken about ˝ an hour to decide on the rules for the mornings competition, and having explained them to everyone, Alan & Tony got down to the serious side of the event the Horseshoe throwing competition.

First up were John Purkis & Pam Scott and as a gentlemen, that we all know John is, he did not let Pam win!

Then it was the turn of the first children’s round with Amie & Harry, again like John above Harry went through. The Competition continued with some fiercely rounds being fought.

No Caravans, were damaged during the competition which was a result in it’s self.

The final winners were Lauren for the children and Dawn Youngs, for the adults, having just beaten Keith Youngs, but he does know his place!!



In the afternoon we were visited by some local residents Samson – Suffolk Punch & Sargeant – Shire horse, the owner gave us a short talk and the children enjoyed stroking the horses.


We had some free time after, so we decided to take a short drive out and visited Bury St Edmunds, had a cup of tea and a cake. It was market day and there were a lot of stalls there.

Weather had improved during the afternoon and the sun was out, BBQ’s were fired up, back on site and wine/beer was flowing, before it was time for bed.
 


Sunday – Today started off like Saturday, a bit overcast. People went out for drives, short walks or were visited by friends/families.

Flagpole was held in the afternoon and Mick Prentice was obviously in practice for the National or thought he was at Hintlesham showing off his 5 a side football skills with a cone, but unfortunately his missed the goal by miles.

Over the weekend there was the colouring competition, which we all thought was for the children, although you would not of thought it from the line up, as ˝ of the pictures were shown by young adults or they could have been young grandparents!

Anyway the winners of the colouring competition were:-

Older children – Elle Youngs
Younger Children – Olivia Monroe

 
 

Monday – Having rained during the night, those that did not take down their awnings, had nice wet ones to take home!

Janet and marshals would like to thank all those who helped get vans off Rally field, by pushing, towing etc, it was very much appreciated.

Many thanks to the marshals and helpers for a pleasant May Bank holiday.
