Hosts were Alexandra and Ivan Mellon and Joycelyn and Nelson Stewart.
On the Friday evening Bingo was featured with £50 in prize money shared between 6 lucky winners and excellent background music supplied by Bill McBride.
On Saturday morning with tea coffee jam and cream we enjoyed a variety of scones baked by Joycelyn.
Alex gave a very useful and informed talk which certainly upgraded our knowledge about the potential effects of the sun on our skin and what to do if problems were discovered or suspected.
From this activity £150 was raised for the Chairman’s charity further enhanced by £30 from Alex (TropicSkincare) and a surprise and very welcome £20 donation from a guest and friend of Joycelyn.
Later that afternoon we learned that our Treasurer Jane Aston had completed yet another long Park Run (her 50th)!
That evening we were well entertained by the excellent singing voice and choice repertoire of Meryl Forbes.
On Sunday morning after refreshments our Chairman Sam Arlow informed us that 29 motorhomes had attended the rally and then gave the usual MCC updates. He sincerely congratulated the hosts on a very well preplanned and conducted rally despite the problems arising from a very late confirmation of the rally event due to possible road closures.
He congratulated Andy Clarke (75th) and Gary Brown (65th) on their birthdays and also Jacqueline and Mark Hutchison on their wedding anniversary (39th) together with a mention of Jacqueline’s birthday.
On behalf of all of us Sam gave best wishes to Irene Hewitt for a speedy recovery from her forthcoming knee operation.
The number plate draws were won by Andy Clarke and Mark Hutchison.
The rally then closed.
