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.

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

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. Saturday night saw most of us in the pub enjoying a really nice meal, my two little grand children were really well behaved, a definite  bonus. Really enjoyed the weekend. Many thanks to the marshals for taking it on . Hope we will rally there again. WW

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

Thanks to the marshals S & J with B & G, for a great weekend at Carsington, arrived in glorious sunshine and greeted with tea and cake, we got all sorted and gave help putting the shelters up and getting the urn on for later, but turned very chilly so all stayed indoors. Friday was free and easy with a visit by the local mobile chippy, very nice they were too. Saturday saw quite a few do the circular walk around the reservoir, with a few coming back a bit slower than they had started, all gathered in the community tent for the evening with a backwards raffle creating a few laughs, bingo was called by SP and with a few retiring, music was played while having a natter. Sunday came with drizzle, flag was held at 11.00, raffle was drawn, and winner of the competition announced, lucky me. Shelters down we all steadily packed up and made our ways home, brilliant weekend, thanks again especially to B & G helping out fot the first of many more hopefully. L & J

Hi, our report for the fantastic Queens Platinum Jubilee We have rejoined the 4 C’s after a 5 yr break. everyone was so helpful with our campervan and we were welcomed back with open arms. Camping on the Bakewell show ground close to all amenities.  The town was all decked out with bunting and flags galore, the atmosphere was brilliant. Visitors poured in from far and wide from early morning to see Bakewell in all it’s glory. There were scarecrows to be found and a treasure hunt and lots more put on by the local community. The social tent with coffee and tea available for everyone to enjoy and chat to old and new friends was fantastic.  During our stay we had a backward raffle which was good fun and horse racing, bingo plus quizzes and a raffle. We all dressed our units up with bunting and flags etc, being very British as we are and the prize for the best dressed van went to L & M. Well done . A very big thank you to everyone.  Fantastic 10 days.
