Gerry and Lorraine Many Thanks from Me, Alan and mum for all your efforts and also to the folk who helped out with behind the scene things like putting up and taking down the shelters etc.

We had a lovely time and the museum was rather interesting

 

[old-mo]

Our Thanks to Lorraine and Gerry...

Was a cracking weekend..... did not do much except walk the dog and did the museum bit.... loved the "Spitfire" and every thing else come to that...

Bacon roll`s were superb...

Left about 8-30am and home by 1pm... not like the run up..

Great to catch up with some old friends and put faces to names....

A unique venue being able to park alongside some lovely old Planes...

Again Many Thanks ..

The only downside was..........

I could not hide from that bloody @Badknee bloke.... twice he found us....

Thank you so much for a wonderful rally Gerry and Lorraine @lorger - hope you haven't been put off doing another one

Dumfries as a lovely place and often overlooked as people make a dash for the central belt and The Highlands, such a shame as they miss so much.

 

[CWH]

@lorger thank you for all your hard work Gerry and Lorraine, a fantastic weekend with so much to see and do, all so easy for us due to YOUR efforts - a great success

@lorger Gerry and Lorraine, thanks again for organising this meet.
It was a really interesting location for a rally, and all your hard work in making it happen is much appreciated.

 

[icantremember]

Gerry & Lorraine, I agree with everything already said by the others in that it was a great meet at a terrific venue with lovely Funsters.
We enjoyed seeing some of what your home town has to offer, particularly the parade and camera obscura.
Just remains to say a big thank you to you both for your help and organisation.

Gerry & Lorraine - thank you so much for organising the terrific rally this weekend. Swmbo and I had a great time, enjoyed the walk Friday night, the parade etc on Saturday day, tented get together on Saturday night and then Sunday disappeared in a blur!

Museum was very interesting and humbling too when you read the stories of the folk who gave so much, and on many occasions, paid the ultimate price.

Great location, great to meet other Funsters - I even got to shake Old Mo by the hand ! ! My life is now complete

Thanks again

Will return them in due course ........ the local man down the market said they were fake and offered me £10 for the lot. Wouldn't even give me a penny more when I gave assurances they were once yours.

I hope you washed your hand and counted the fingers afterwards!

Evening everyone thanks for all the kind words it makes all the hard work worth it, I hope despite the weather everyone enjoyed their weekend.
I would like to say thanks to everyone that helped us throughout the weekend with a special thanks to @milliethehymer and @tjay for feeding the hungry Funsters on Sunday morning.

As mentioned on Saturday night any money left over would be donated to a charity of the attendees choice, after chatting to a few on Sunday I got the impression you'd rather it went to a small local charity rather than a national one that takes 90% on wages before helping those in need.

I've came up with a few suggestions so decided to start another thread with a poll attached, if anyone has any better suggestions please feel free to speak up.

Norman it was nice to meet you at the weekend, the meet was very relaxed and up to people to join in as much or as little as possible. I'm glad you enjoyed the museum, the fact you actually worked on some of their exhibits must have been nice for you.

 

[lorger]

Well done Gerry, a goodly amount.

Thanks Brian but it was you lot that raised the money not me, i just counted it
