Rally’s ... dare I ask what goes on? (1 Viewer)

[meanders]

. Been a quiet 12 months

I bet. Usually I do children's theatre tech as a volunteer. It's been just as quiet.

 

[grumps147]

Oh yes...... sounds very familiar. I much prefer the smaller meets as counter-intuitively you meet more people, unless like me you wander around grinning manically at everyone. My Pimms is legendary, apparently
We didn't half get through a lot of it - someone had to raid Sainsgogs for some more

Spot on David, minding our own business when this bloke, in between grinning maniacally and grimacing as he tried to put up his awning asked could I help with his awning. Why not, and that was the start of a great Weymouth week and more, meeting some great folk though sadly two we regularly remember have passed.
Health and other events have overtaken us, but hopefully we can help in a field somewhere before too long.
Just a warning to anyone else though, you are quite partial to some really good whiskies - which as I am currently banned alcohol is a pain.

Cheers for that much appreciated - the late, great Tootles was forever after ribbing me about that wonky air awning (it was blowing dogs off chains) and it was the origin of the "inflatable Annie" running joke.

....and yes, I have been known to have a generous stock of fine Malt (plus Aldi Glenratspiss for cruiser )

Wild Festivals on FB seems to cater for a younger crowd!

 

[movan]

Dare I ask if any or all of these rallies are children friendly? Yes, I'm the mad one with a 2 & 6 y/o trying to holiday in an old Burstner!
Quite fancy fancy attending some of these in the future, when we're allowed out (no pampas grass though )

Hi sunshine, last but one year I had my little, then 4yr old, grandaughter with me. Must be honest although we went to a few meets I struggled to find one where children were really catered for but she was made very welcome by my funster friends.

.... She won the children's painting competition at one.... please never tell her she was the only entrant.... she was sooooooo excited.

If you do find any please let me know. I was told, but don't know, that some of the Buddhafest ones are good for families... but I tend towards hippiyish gran.

 

[meanders]

Festival wise, Latitude of the big ones is absolutely brilliant for kids. There is a large kids area, and a no adults teens area. I believe, they run a leave the kids service.

Valleyfest is also targeting families and is much smaller.

Carfest if you can get tickets also looks after families well.

Also look at county shows. Many do camping.

None of these is specifically with Fun, but we often bump into others.

Well done that duck i have got a bottle of old poultney .a bit better than your aldis. But Rose said bring plenty of pills she has ñearley two years to make up for .so see you at the bash. But will share with anyone .that beat duxdelux to it.

 

[Wee Bold Davy]

Many years ago, in the early days of Fun, there was a group of swingers! They didn't keep it quiet either

Our E&P levellers/steadiers would have been a great asset

 

[fat haggis]

I’m looking coward to my first meet soon

Van keys are placed in the middle of the circle and everyone gets to pick one.

(If you are really lucky, you will end up with a better van )

I have never referred to the wife as the "van"

 

[movan]

Sometimes just chat.

The men get roped into bbq i g.

Dog walks but everybody welcome. Paddling feet on hot day is brill.

 

[movan]

Not wanting to share your Ferrero Rochers with anyone

 

[Langtoftlad]

Rally's tend to be fixed price... whether you stay 2nt or 5nts
Might be helpful to the marshals if you mention you intend to leave early.

Mike, you had better tell Rose to bring extra lemmingade - you know what happens when she drinks navy strength pimms ......or get some earplugs.

I do have some decent whisky..... as always happy to share it with you

Knowing my luck i would pull the wife's keys out of the bowl.........................so unlucky i had a rocking horse that died.

Lucky you.. Last key party I went to I got off with a ride on lawn mower !

We all sussed you out though .. You were just after the vibrations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John... It was so funny. I still chuckle about it to this day.

Every time I lapped the starting line, you kept shouting, 'Sit back. SIT BACK!' as I flashed past.

and I kept putting my shoulders up.. thinking what's wrong with him. I'm up as much as I can. I thought you meant sit upright. By the last lap I just remember you rolling laughing with tears.

 

[cruiser]

Looking forward towards the bash. Nearest i get to being a hells angel again
