A Message from Graham Archer The following is a link to my own web site which other members may find of interest if they want to create one themselves. Cost is the princely sum of £14.99 for three years! Really easy to setup - even I managed it, so it must be! http://www.mini-webs.com/members_index.php?mode Misterton White House Farm and Askham Bryan RalliesBack home again after two brilliant rallies. Misterton and Askham Bryan, both of which were new venues for us. The beauty of joining such rallies is, of course, that we get to explore new areas, at the same time, meet up once again with old friends, and enjoy their good company. We even had good weather, which in itself is a bit of a bonus this year. We were sorry to see Jack and Marion going home on the back of a trailer following the breakdown of their car. It is obvious from the photo attached that Jack was looking forward to taking a turn at the wheel, if he could only talk the driver into it! We all hope the car is fixed in the near future and they are able to join us once again. Also attached is a photo of a pensioner who really should know better, aiming to knock the photographer for six via the ?death slide?! Our sincere thanks to the rally officers at both venues, without whose encouragement, these things just would not happen.Graham Archer 5732/02 R 2007 Holiday Rally
A big thank you to Norma and Bill Hopkinson Marion and Ernie Jones and
Lynne and George Stowe for taking over the rally marshals duties on the
retired section holiday rally at short notice.
We were told the venue was excellent ,but the weather was anything but kind
,and thanks to all the ralliers who travelled to Dorchester and made the
rally a success.
Even George turned up trumps and managed to help to cook breakfast .
We must also thank the dedicated ralliers who came to the Evesham rally
regardless of the weather .
The sun came out for Anne's unexpected birthday party for a couple of hours
which was a very pleasant get together.
Thanks again to everyone .
Hope that Christine and Graham Archer and Anne and Sid Titterington enjoy
the Queens garden party at Buckingham palace (without wellies and brollies).
After an eight week holiday in France it was great to be back
with the crowd at this popular venue again. After all the rain we
encountered in France, we were hoping for sunny weather in Evesham but
most of our time was spent watching the river rising! A great rally,
with several pleasant evenings in the club house. Our thanks to all
concerned and special appreciation to Gerry and Audrey, as this was
their first rally. Thanks also to Jack and Marion Chritchley for giving
them so much support. It makes me think, if everyone ran just one
rally, we would have no problems filling the programme and new rally
officers would be sure to get the support of those who have done so
many in the past. Sorry I have no pictures from Evesham but here are a
few from France. (Sid's motor mover stuck in the 'on' position as we
moved off site, completely blocking the road, in and out, for about an
hour!) by Graham Archer

Section, I must thank the Rally Marshals Alan & Barbara Stansfield
