RALLY AT WEELEY,
NR CLACTON ON SEA Alan and I were looking forward
to getting away for a few days following a busy month. Val and Mike Powling were first
to arrive on Wednesday, followed by the majority of us Friday dawned fine and sunny again and Alan and I cycled to Frinton on Sea but Clacton on Sea and Colchester were also popular destinations with other rally members. With the sun still shining on Saturday we pointed our bikes in the direction of Manningtree (recommended by Mike) and Flatford Mill where Constable was inspired to paint his masterpiece "The Haywain". In the evening a few hopeful souls walked to the nearby pub, The Black Boy, to watch England versus South Africa in the Rugby World Cup Final on the big screen or just have a friendly drink. All too soon it was Sunday
and time for coffee and raffle and home except for a few units who
were lucky enough to be staying till Monday. Val & Al
Notarally @ Llanwrst After the cancellation of the highly popular Rally at Naburn Lock due to the high water levels we started looking for alternatives . By coincidence I discovered that John and Wendy Myers had already booked in at Bodnant Caravan Park in Llanwrst and they suggested that anyone that wanted to go should ring the site direct and book in, so we contacted as many members as we could to let them know of the Meet. Thursday 6th Sept Friday 7th Sept Frank and Dot arrived after tea but fortunately Dot had made provision for tea-time as they got on site quite late. Glyn and Dee Millward arrived after tea, they had read about the Meet in the Mag which had arrived that day, so Welcome to both and we hope you enjoyed the weekend . We noticed a Trafic parked on the site and not knowing who it was we ventured over and found it was two of our members unaware of the Meet, but not for long, they had planned to travel to another site the next day so we could only manage a quick hello but not before Peter and Lucy had been given one or two tips to be going on with . The evening was spent drinking tea and coffee and discussing Basket Weaving and Crochet Patterns , oh and we had a wine and beer tasting session later in the rally tent / awning ? Saturday 8th Sept Bob and Kath Eaton arrived in the morning all the way from Colwyn Bay, Bob must have been shattered after driving 15 mls in one go! In the evening a Barbecue had been arranged and John Myers supplied the Hot-dogs and Burgers for the feast , there seemed to be a dent in the tins so I assume they fell off the back of a wagon, but suffice to say they were enjoyed by all. After the Tea and Coffee flowed and once again a Cheese and Wine ensued and later we had a discussion on the quality of wines from the New World and whether they could ever replicate the cheeky bouquet that the French winemakers had perfected. I was quite surprised how the Sauvignon Plonk had complimented the taste of Burger and fried onions ? that's just an indication of how my taste buds have matured over the years ? Sunday 9th Sept . A little damp this morning
but still warm, a 10-30 coffee morning had been arranged to bid
Bon Voyage to the unlucky folks who have work to go to on Monday.
John L and John M thanked everyone for helping to make the weekend
such fun, and to the Wine Tasters who are still undecided between
the Sauvignon Plonk and the Chenin bank the discussion will be continued
very soon. All the best Marshall John M and Marshall John L
