Heaton House Farm Rushton Spencer

Rally report by Emma

What a great weekend we had on the rally at Heaton House Farm, which was run by Mary, Eddie, June & Adie.
The field was extremely level with beautiful views to the rear over 3 counties ( Cheshire, Staffordshire & Derbyshire). It was in a great spot for walking, which a few members did over the weekend. On the Friday evening some members tasted the local grub & ale at the pub down the bottom of the hill called The Royal Oak, which did a curry night on a Friday.
On the Saturday, we watched some mad people roll down the hill inside large, clear spheres. A good adrenaline rush, but not for me! Other people ventured into Leek, which had a flea market on & there was also a farmers market with local produce.
Saturday evening, after everyone had had their barbeques, we gathered in the Rally officers awnings for a get together & games. We played a sort of quiz bingo, with Eddie being quiz master. Good fun was had by all & a lot of prizes were won! Another game was where we were all given 13 cards & had to get rid of them one by one, until we each had none left. This one had you sweating, thinking you were going to win - for your prize to be snatched by one of your neighbours! A brilliant laugh and very enjoyable! The evening was rounded off by some members gathering round the fire.
Sunday morning we all gathered again for coffee morning. Tony thanked the rally officers & mentioned the next rally etc. Then it was a raffle with a difference. Everyone won a prize, which was a mystery bag containing lovely goodies. This was appreciated by everyone.
We then spotted a couple on some unusual vehicles called Segways. Basically a two wheeled vehicle with a stick in the middle! Not missing her chance, Mary was first to have a go - whizzing off down the field. Shortly followed by a few other members, who could not resist a try! This was really kind of the couple to let us have a go & a few members have already booked a Segway Safari in the woods!
Later on we had a tour of Heaton House Farm. What looked like a normal working farm from the outside, was a beautiful wedding venue inside. A reception room, dining suite, dancefloor, bridal suite / bedroom & even a room for the bridesmaids to get ready. It was simply stunning! We all want to get married again! Watch out hubbys!!!
Thanks to the owners for such an insight into their business & for showing us around.
A big thank you also to Mary, Eddie, June & Adie for a very entertaining rally.

Easter - Craven Arms Kevindale

Rally Officers - Emma & Steve Roberts

Rally report by Mary & Eddie Bath

The rally was well attended with 16 vans turning out, even though the weather was against us on the Thursday and we had to change fields, due to the intended rally field being waterlogged. With our now famous teamwork and cooperation we managed to get all the vans onto the field and into position for the rally. The local area was very picturesque with daffodils everywhere, I think everyone at sometime found the local supermarket come pound shop "Harry Tuffins", it seemed at one time as if we were all there at the same time. Some members went off to Bishops Castle others went into Ludlow. Steve and Emma made the weekend extra special with "Poppy's Cafe". Steve was doing his impression of "Rene" from "Allo Allo" he even had the apron and the home cooked goodies that Emma supplied went down a treat with everyone, the scones went down really well. Steve and Emma did this to raise funds for the clubs nominated charity which is the Diabetic Society. They raised £45 during the weekend which was tremendous. Coffee morning was on Monday and then teamwork again to get all the vans safely off the field. Thanks once again to Steve and Emma for their great efforts and a lovely weekend.

Rally Officers - Gillian & Frank Hough, Laurel & Gordon Sant

Rally report by Mary & Eddie Bath

The rally at Marbury was well attended with a total of 11 vans.
The Rally officers Laurel & Gordon & Gillian & Frank did a marvelous job and we had a good coffee morning on Sunday prior to leaving.
Some members went to the garden centre a bought some very good quality plants to take home.
The weather was good except for the monsoon on the Saturday evening, but even this could not dampen the spirits of those present.
We had great fun playing party games in Laurel & Gordon's awning during the downpour.
Some brave souls even continued to sit around the fire, until the umbrellas didn't stop the rain getting through!

Sutton Fields Sutton Weaver near Runcorn

Rally Officers - Rachel & Peter Barcoe

Rally Report by By Sarah, Lee and the kids

To start, big thank you to Barbara for having us. This was a new site, and it proved to be a popular one. 19 vans in total but with such a large field everyone had loads of space. The weather was mainly kind apart from the rain on Saturday night which made the field a bit slippy as one member found out (or was that the over consumption of alcohol I wonder !!!).
Members enjoyed a game of bowls and a few tried their hand on the driving range.
Saturday night proved popular for socialising and it all ended on Sunday with the usual coffee morning.
Congratulations to all the voucher winners (Jill & Alan, Tony & Jacqui, Mary & Eddie) and also Frank for guessing the correct number of pasta shapes in the jar!
Rach & Pete did a great job in showing new members how to be a rally officer….. Thank you.

Anniversary - Swallowdale Farm
The Red Lion Station Road Goostrey
Rally Officers - Jacqui and Tony Bickerton

Rally report by Emma

What a great Anniversary Rally. We couldn't have asked for better weather or better company - a real friendly laugh!
Attendance was very good with 18 vans, the rally field was perfect like a bowling green, Ron Moyle even got his boules out! Goostrey was full of scarecrows, just like Wrenbury. There was a radar speed cop outside the pub car park, which really shook a few people up!
Saturday night was a brilliant get together with the club gazebo & windbreaks. We had a fire & Dave Hill even made toast.
Tony & Jacqui Bickerton organized a music quiz, blankety blank & charades / pictionary - which were hilarious. We also had nibbles which was more like a buffet & drinks to toast the club with. The cake was superb as usual & was cut by Vic & Laura Woodward ( see photo). Some members stayed up very late round the fire, enjoying each others company.
The rally was rounded off with coffee morning & raffle, which included bacon butties. The final numbers for the bingo game were given out & Steve & myself were the lucky winners. Thanks to Tony & Jacqui the rally officers for running it.

Goatfell Farm Leek Staffordshire

Rally Officers - Emma & Steve Roberts

Rally report by Emma

We really enjoyed running the rally at Goatfell Farm. What a lovely location & friendly site owner. I was especially made up that there were chickens free ranging around the site.
It was in a perfect location for days out in The Peak District, with its pretty villages & well known cheese shop.
The weather was on avarage quite nice - except for a few gusts of wind & not too good on Bank Holiday Monday.
We arranged a barbeque - which came together really well. Everyone contributed & it felt lovely to have a bit of good community spirit. Frank Hough, did a great job of Head chef on the 5ft long monster grill hired from the farm. Lynn Moyles garlic bread & mushrooms were to die for & we played some fabulous games - resulting in fits of laughter.
Everyone did the quiz - the winners were Alan & Jill Jodrill & Vic & Laura Woodward won the spot the ball.
Hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did.

Rally Report for Dyserth by Mary & Eddie, Marie & John

The weather was kind to us although we had a frost and the mountains around Snowdonia were covered in snow on the Sunday morning, and as this was the first time to this site we were pleased to find the landowner (Mr Roberts) was so friendly, and the site was in such good condition with plenty of room for all of the 23 vans that made this into an excellent and very well attended rally.
We even had 5 electric points that were allocated by the rally officers on a first come first served basis.
We also found "Joe the butcher" not far from the site and nearly everyone went home with bags full of welsh lamb and other very good quality meats etc.
The site was well placed for trips out to Abergele, Llandudno, Rhyl etc.
