Award Winning Holiday rally Cornwall.

The site, location and the weather were Superb. A Top class Holiday Location.

It was a long drive down, But John and I shared  the driving after stopping for a Cuppa and stretch three times during the journey.

Arriving at the site we could see that the duration was worth it.

The arranged trip to the Eden Project was very interesting be you young or not so young. The beaches were great and the scenery “Breathtaking”. Plenty of Clear and colourful views. The site had more than ample room for all of the Dandy’s that attended. Plus all the Tourers and little tents, How brave they were. The Seagulls were even braver when it came to getting food or anything they fancied. BBQ’s seemed to be their preferred. I saw one off on one occasion using a large Brolly that I waved, it seemed miffed and fled. There was a Dandy version of a Football Tournament, John, Naomi our youngest daughter and I took part. To my Surprise I won and was presented prize of a football mug and teabags at the Flag meet held on Thursday evening to allow those who were leaving on the Friday to join in. This also gave me the Chance to air “Bert, Ethel” and the Regalia. There were I think 16 units that attended, some of whom were first timers, but you couldn’t tell as we all mingled and enjoyed ourselves as seems to be the Norm’ at all rallies. There were a surprising number of new Riva/Dandy’s and there was great interest taken in how units were assembled and how quick some owners had become. It was our first time with another improved version of the Destiny with which we are extremely pleased, and we had recently exchanged with our 2 year old.  

The Club Regalia is still selling well and is to include Track suite bottoms to complement the Rugby shirts. I enjoy my roles within the Club with the help of Bert, Ethel and not forgetting my “Dogsbody” John who is involved with the carrying and locating of the Regalia and associated items. Soon we will have an awning for it all to hide in.

Looking forward to all the other Rallies I can attend this year, I hope they are all as picturesque as Cornwall.
