Hi all
Thanks so much for your welcome at our first meet at Twin Lakes. We had a brilliant time. Special thanks to Graham and Jean for all your hard work
Thanks to Viv and Chris for recommending Riva Bella site near Caen...settled in with a glass or two
Got emotional walking from the site to Pegasus bridge where my Dad crossed during the liberation. Didn't know it was here. Took some memorable pics
Thanks again
Hope to see you next year......where's my stethoscope ‍⚕️

Thought we would visit Twin Lakes for a leisurely few days whilst in France.:france:How wrong we were :doh:
Jean of J&G held morning craft sessions which OH attended. Then quick lunch and line up for the Petanque sessions in the afternoon. Something to eat then in the evening eyes down for Bingo, or Play your cards right, or Mr & Mrs, or a raffle,or a music quiz, Dabhand on guitar and Canopus on echo box ? etc. There was Kangaroo racing, fishing competition, Cruft's show for the mass of dogs, etc. etc. and I left before the programme was finished !!
:party:
Proper Fish and Chips, a hog roast, free wi-fi, delivery of fresh baguettes and complimentary pastries. :clap2:

DO NOT ATTEND THIS MEET IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A QUIET BREAK :Eeek:
But if you are looking for a grand time with plenty to do and good company, make sure you book for next year. Thanks to Jean, Graham and all the Marshalls, Gary (Host) and his helpers.
The organisation was such that it never rained once :pinocchio:
Also thanks to the Belgian representatives Dirk for music quiz and Ronaldo and wife for their culinary input and their lovely humorous nature.

Just got home (eventually) from our rally at Twin Lakes, both Jen and I would like to thank Jan and Graham for arranging such a great rally,It was our first abroad with the Funsters, met and made friends with lots of folks too.
Something on in the bar most nights where a laugh was had by all in attendance !! drinks flow, quize's took place with willing participants, played bingo and won !! ditto at the Chinese raffle and again won , a carriage clock (btw keeps good time too)
So many thanks again for a great time and we have already booked for a repeat next year !!!
Also a very big thank you to the site owner Garry and staff for allowing us to take over his bar ! , the bread in the morning was also much appreciated and lastly for the generous use of his car to nip too the supermarket !! wonderful man !!
Roll on 2018 !!

The sun shines everywhere at Twin Lakes, all the time. :france::rofl:[

I have only just had time to come on the site after my Twin Lakes holiday. Ok , the weather wasn't the best, but the people were soo welcoming and I had a great time.
I especially want to mention Graham and Jean and all the wonderful entertainment they put on .
Also Tom, Jen and Jake for letting me tag on to their trip down.
I have to say that joining Motorhomefun is the best thing I did and as a single person its wonderful to be surrounded by such friendly folks.

Yes it is being run in 2018. It is high up because people are still posting. If you post it goes right back to the top, as I have done by answering your query.

Tomorrow Jean and myself will be presenting a cheque for £1,050.00 to our local Air Ambulance.
The money was raised by Funsters and Twin Lakes Caravan Park during the Rally Meet. A fantastic amount. Jean and myself would like to thank everyone involved in raising the funds.
See you all next year.

A big well done to all the fund raisers at this Twin Lakes Event, especially for such a much needed underfunded resource. Hard to believe that this resource is not fully funded by the government, as we all know that its what can be done in the 1st crucial hour after an accident, that determines whether a life is saved or not.
Give us the nod if and when you intend to repeat this experience and you will have our full support.
