Friends Sch., Lisburn

Another great weekend at Friends School in Lisburn. The hosts done a really good job looking after us, they were, John and Elaine Kerr, Robert and Rhubena Watson. After a catch up and a natter in our vans on arrival most of us met up in the hall for last man standing and a bit of music supplied by our own DJ Robbie Hewitt.  

     On Saturday after some retail therapy (seen a few bags coming in) or a wee run to the legion for some liquid refreshment 21  of us had a lovely meal in Pizzarelly’s restaurant. A really good choice as the food was excellent and the bonus was being able to bring your own wine. Thanks to Irene for suggesting and getting it booked for us. Afterwards we met up in the hall to dance to HOUSTY and he knows exactly what we like in music.

     Sunday morning, we had an interesting demonstration of CPR and the use of the defibrillator by Graham Walsh. 26 vans attended this rally. Stephen Glenn and Dessie Ross won the number plate draw. We had a few anniversaries,  Bertie and Stella McGaughey, 60 years married on the 29th June. It was good to see them both again. Also, John and Elaine Kerr celebrating 46 years of marriage, on the 30th June. It was Maurice McIlhagga’ birthday, no years disclosed. The chairman then thanked everyone for coming and hoped to see them all again at future rallies and wished them a safe journey home.
