Burns Rally Report

Well what can I say, what a great weekend. We stayed at the site in Copt Oak which also benefited from having a hall to get together in which was a bonus. First time out this year and it definitely started off as well as it could have. We arrived Friday and were greeted by GB who was marshalling and instructed us where to park. Was initially concerned as being in a Motorhome obviously I would have preferred hard standing but there was plenty available so there wasn’t any need to worry. Finally got settled in after realising I had forgot my water barrel and had to go to the tap and fill up which was not a problem as there was plenty of room to manoeuvre. Friday night we headed over to the hall where we had some games of bingo with a very peculiar caller who seemingly had his own definition of calling. This included mentioning a colour that was required and reading them out as fast as possible.

Moira Furnace, Easter

Easter Rally 2022. Arrived on Thursday in brilliant sunshine which stayed with us all weekend. Obviously ordered by the Marshalls. Thursday night free and easy meeting with friends and catching up. Friday in the party tent for a get together. Saturday American supper and raffle followed by bingo. The American supper would not have been out of place at an up-market function. It was amazing. Tea and coffee was on tap all weekend which was lovely, hot cross buns were had. Thanks to the people who kept the boiler topped up. Easter Sunday bacon baps were done for everyone and later saw a well organised egg hunt for the children and an adult and children’s Easter bonnet parade. Some amazing creations. Sunday night saw us in the party tent again just chilling and chatting. An excellent rally, friendly and welcoming as is to be expected on a 4Cs rally. Thanks to the Marshalls for all their hard work and everyone who helped. Personal thanks to SR for the drink on Thursday. Really enjoyed the ra

Market Bosworth RFC

What a scorcher of a weekend at Market Bosworth. Friday was a free and easy day with a Chip shop run in the evening. Thank you, S & J, for doing this as it saved me having to get the Cadac going,. Saturday was very warm so plans were amended. Some of us did the walk in to Market Bosworth and some did the short drive in while others were left dog sitting.There are only a handful of shops in Market Bosworth but some very nice purchases were made. A couple of pints in Ye Olde Red Lion Hotel went down well before returning to our caravans.The evening started with an American supper followed by an entertaining Backward Raffle.There was also a raffle followed by Bingo.The Quiz this rally was really good as we actually knew a lot of the answers. Sunday was a chilled morning in the warm weather. Thanks to the Marshall’s for an enjoyable and entertaining weekend. Your hard work is very much appreciated.  H & P

Heritage Wood

Rally Report. Heritage Wood Rally Ednaston April 28th – May 3rd 2022. Thank you to the Marshals LC & MC and Deputy Marshall JB for their friendly welcome and the organising and running of the Rally. 11 units attended, pitched on grass (off grid) at the edge of the Memorial Wood and Lake. This was a rural site, and the woodland is sponsored, and people can dedicate a tree or a bench to mark a special event or in memory of a loved one. Both the Woodland and the Lake have gentle flat walks around and through them with information boards so that people can identify the birds and the trees. In abundance on the lake were geese and ducks. The geese and their goslings grazed regularly out on the field. The field of Rape Seed to the side of the caravans provided a wonderful fragrance throughout the day and evening. During the stay there were the usual activities of Bingo, Blackout and Raffle to raise funds for our chosen charity ‘Air Ambulance’ The amount raised was over £20.00 The highligh

We arrived on the Friday to good weather and a very pleasant surprise, the rally field was like a bowling green and it was really peaceful. The weather was very kind to us, the rally was free and easy with everyone mixing in  and socialising, I personally felt really happy there.

Many thanks to the marshals for taking it on . Hope we will rally there again. WW

Copt Oak, Valentines

Copt Oak, Feb 10th– 13th A big thank you to S and J for marshalling the rally. It was a great rally despite the strong winds and the chilli weather. JW started the valentine feeling by giving all the ladies a Red Rose. Friday was a social evening in the hall with drinks and a few games of Bingo. Saturday evening was in the hall which had been decorated with a Valentine theme and started with a lovely three course meal with soup, roast chicken or beef followed by pudding and cheese and biscuits. Thank you SP for all your hard work. The meal was followed by the playing of the game ‘What am I’. It showed what dirty minds some players had. Everyone enjoyed the game and laughed all the way through. The flag and raffle took place as well and raised over £50.      P & H
