Bangor Int PS

Bangor integrated PS was the venue for our rally - 5th to 7th September.   We were warmly welcomed by Garry and Caryn along with co-hosts Ivan and Alex. Dingbats was the entertainment on Friday night - I can only say they were real brain teasers, we asked for extra time twice and could still have done with more.

     Saturday craft morning was spent making floral cards and bookmarks.  Lots of lovely items were produced by the well-attended class.  We were able to check our answers to the Friday evening’s Dingbats – we need a lot more practice at Dingbats!!!! In the afternoon most people went into town to see the 125th anniversary parade of the Irish Guards. It was a fantastic spectacle and much enjoyed by all. A good nights dancing followed with a well-supported raffle organised by Caryn assisted by Irene. 

     Sunday morning, we gathered in the hall where the chairman informed us that a total of 41 vans had attended the weekend.   He then welcomed new members Hugh and Sally Malone. The number plate draws were won by John and Catherine Hall and Robbie and Irene Hewitt.  A huge thanks was given to the hosts for a really enjoyable weekend. Chairman mentioned that Agnes Adair had rang him to thank all members of the club who had sent cards, sympathised or attended the recent funeral of her husband Tom.   Tom and Agnes have been long time members of the club.  The chairman reminded us that the AGM is coming up soon and anyone wanting to stand for election should obtain nomination form from a committee member. The next rally is in Portadown when 'Country comes to Town'.  Hope to see you all there.  Mary Glenn.
