There was an unusual feel to this rally, at 4 nights it was longer
than a weekend but shorter than a holiday rally. Units arrived on
different days, there were even three there before it started.
Held at the Canterbury camping and caravan club site, we had a slight
restriction in that we were supposed to vacate by midday Sunday, we
therefore decided to hold rally meet on saturday evening, but more of
that later.
The 'get together' meeting scheduled for Wednesday evening was held in
the queue for the fish and chip van, which had turned up early and
caught us all by surprise and the hot food ensured that the meeting
did not last long as everyone withdrew into there units to eat.
Most people ventured out and about into Canterbury and surrounding
Kent countryside, with a group of three hardy souls taking a day trip
to France.
A local couple who own a Dandy, Ruth Smith and her husband (I think he
was called Frank) from Whitstable, could not make the Rally but popped
in for a little while. Ruth presented us with a superb cake Thank you
Ruth it was smashing.
The Saturday evening Rally meet was another unusual occurance,which
eventually extended into a social evening that ended about 10.30 pm.
The quiz threw up a draw for first place with Viv Rathbone and Paul
Levene each winning a free rally night token.
The raffle had a new multi winner Queen with Sue Smith receiving
several prizes, I lost count of the exact number. Why is it never the
men who win lots of raffle prizes?.
Shortly before the start of the rally meet the staff advised us
that the 12pm leaving time had been extended to 3pm which enabled the
long distance attendees a chance to leave early for their homeward
journey.
Our thanks to all who attend and hope you all enjoyed your stay.
Jim, Avril and Christopher Mitchell
