Brian won't need any - he's still full from last year

All the more for the rest of us

Hi all, we had a short visit and had to leave today to come home, just like to say thank you to all that organised it and made us newbies feel welcome.

Geoff + Les

 

[Neilfg]

Also had to leave today, had a good time, great spot and good company, many thanks to all the organisers. Special thanks to Terry and Haganap (I think??) and the very nice man with the 4x4 who helped pull us out of the mud. Once we go started we were ok, but getting moving after being parked on the soft ground required some help. I now have a nice video from the dash cam of being led around the campsite, something I will obviously treasure.

Thanks again.
Neil and Jacqui

I have just spent a most enjoyable day in the company of motor-homing friends (too many to mention by name). But special thanks to those who provided me with copius amounts of coffee. Especially Sian, Mousy, Beerdrinker1, Mousy, Beerdrinker1 & Mousy (That shows how many drinks I had)

Thanks for your generous hospitality.

Thank you Carol and Eddie for being awesome marshals! And Jim and Sian for making it all happen. Massive thanks to everyone who joined in the quiz, I was nervous as had never done one before so wasn't sure how it would work but you were all so supportive! And will be making the donations today to the Guide Dogs Association thanks to the generosity of the prize winners.
Apologies to Simon, Janine and Barrie for over running, you guys were amazing!
All in all another 'Carlsberg' weekend thanks to Motorhome Fun!

Arrived safely home to a tropical 18 degrees, that is tropical for Teesside.

Many thanks to Carol and Eddie, Sian and Jim and everyone else who made the weekend so good despite the damp start.

A special thanks to Coops (Soaringman) and the others whose names we did not catch, for rocking us out of our rut this morning.

We noted the tractor turning up as we pulled out of the gates so We hope that everyone else gets off safely and has a safe journey to wherever you are going.

Hope to see you all again soon.

Kindest Regards

Malcolm and Joan (MTO)

[brynric]

Many thanks to the organisers, stewards, buttie makers, quiz masters and musicians (you know who you are) for making this such an enjoyable weekend.

"May you never spin your wheels in a rut!"

 

[hilldweller]

We were almost sent off, girl moved tapes and said "you can get out now" and I was only standing getting some fresh morning fog.

Anyway loads of people around so one small push and we were off.

It's beginning to dawn on me, whenever we go with Carol and Eddie we and up knee deep in mud, this has got to stop.

 

[Janine]

A huge thank you to Jim & Sian, Carol & Eddie for all your hard work which went into making it another great weekend! It was lovely to see so many new faces, too Gerri, you did a great job with the quiz - unfortunately you're going to have to do it at every meet you go to now

Have a great time. We're over at the shanty festival at the National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port. Great to bump in to Janine and Barry yesterday - enjoy your ukulele evening!!

Great to see you, Trevor, you sounded great! We'll load the videos onto Youtube later and send you the link

First time we've ever done TWO festivals in one weekend - we got seduced by the 20+ real ales in the bar at the Shanty Festival and dinner on a narrowboat with friends who just happened to be there and had to stay the night parked on the Boat Museum carpark. Then back to Chester Food Festival on Saturday morning for the bonnets & cakes - and to see if anyone had missed us

Hope everyone managed to get off the racecourse and had a safe journey home!

 

[Allan & Loren]

Great to meet so many funsters this weekend. We had a great time eating, drinking and laughing far too much. A massive thank you to everyone who helped organise, Marshall, quiz master, entertainment, etc, etc.

Hope to see you all again soon.

 

[Chipster]

Many thanks to the marshals and organisers. Super job all round. We had a great time. A special thanks to Techno and the other gents who helped me get the van going (managed to flatten the cab battery!! Doh. )

Thanks to Jim and Sian, Eddie and Carol, for all the organising that was done to make our first big rally a memorable one.
Thanks also to the bacon butty helpers, and Gerri and Ron for organising the quiz, the musicians and everyone else for the laughs.
A special thanks to Terry for resealing our damp patch.

It was great to be finally able to put faces to names. We had a wonderful weekend. Worst part as ever was the long journey home, made 2hrs longer by a RTA.

Forgot to say thanks to Brian and Jo for the ticket. Without this we couldnt have gone.

I don't know the first guy who tried? but it was Martin who stumped up the yellow go box Mousy's other half. I wonder what make/model it was?

[Madwife]

Thanks to Carol, Eddie, Jim and Sian for organising the weekend. Also to Gerri for the quiz - you did a fantastic job!

Apologies if we gave our dreadful cold to anyone. We are both still feeling rough although not as bad as yesterday.

Lastly it was great to meet up with friends old and new and we look forward to Peterborough and the next meet.

Kath and Howie

 

[Mousy]

Thanks to Carole and Eddie, Jim and Sian for making it happen.
We arrived in the rain, stressed out and left in sunshine, happy and relaxed. A successful rally for us, we laughed with lots of lovely people. Although I may start charging for the coffee!

We loved the quiz, so thank you Gerri, and enjoyed the music so thanks to Janine and Barrie, also the guy who played guitar last night was fantastic. Hope to do it all again.
