Magheramourne Rally Report

Rally held at the scenic Magheramourne Blue Circle Boat club from 14th November until 16th November. We had twenty-seven vans turn up and all were welcomed by
the hosts Norman and Sally McKee and the co-host David McFadden. The weather was cold and windy but fortunately the rain held off.
          Friday night the bar opened at 7PM with most turning up for some liquid refreshment and to play Bingo, the numbers being shouted out by Chairman Sam assisted by
David. The musician for the night was Robert Swann. Robert really got everyone going and virtually everyone at some stage, took to the dance floor. A big thank you to Norman and Sally for there generosity for suppling sandwiches at there own expense. We also had the pleasure of the company of our President Mrs Anne Grant and her Husband Robert for the evening. Everyone agreed it was a fantastic and enjoyable night.
          As Magheramourne railway station is a few minutes’ walk away, Saturday morning saw most club members taking the train to Larne, Whitehead, Carrickfergus or
Belfast. By late afternoon most had returned to enjoy a free barbeque. Many thanks to Harry and Billy our Barbeque chefs for the day, there efforts were really appreciated. Saturday night was spent in the bar area of the club having a few drinks and enjoying a good chat and each other’s company.
          Sunday morning coffee morning was held in the club house. Chairman Sam thanked all that attended what was a successful weekend. Sam also thanked Mary Glen for
making and selling Craft items, raising £63.40 for the chairman’s charity. Sam also wished a few of the members who had been ill a speedy recovery. David also thanked everybody for there participation in what was a very enjoyable and successful weekend. 

     All the hosts were applauded for their efforts in making the weekend successful. The number plate draw was won by Allison Masters and Steven Glenn.
          The next Rally is Georgian Weekend in Armagh from 28th to 30th November.
