What an excellent rally from the moment of arrival to departure, which was all thanks to the senior committee, who arranged it all and was at hand throughout.

The programme of events started on Friday night (with a return to childhood), the kids and adults set about colouring and glittering Sandra’s Christmas banner. This was followed by several games of Christmas Bingo, which follows the concept of normal bingo but 100% funnier. There was no question of anyone cheating, but the colouring of Colin’s bingo score sheet was dubious as he did everything in “black and white”.

Saturday daytime was spent resting for the evening’s extravagance. The evening kicked off with a superb three course Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. A big thanks to the chefs who laboured most of Saturday to produce the fine feast. Then with a full stomach we moved onto the evening’s entertainment, which included kiddies’ entertainment from Ivan, John and Jeff (I’m sure elves wore tights!) Once the kids had been built up to a frenzy, father Christmas made a guest appearance and dutifully handed out presents to the children. My illusion of Santa was spoilt when Santa disclosed that his sack was not big enough. There go my dreams of asking Santa for a Ferrari. After Santa had gone the party games and dancing began and the rest of the evening passed with a blur.

Saturday night was wild, with caravans and motor homes a rocking and unfortunately for my husband it was down to the windy conditions.

Sunday dawned bright and clear and all to soon it was time for flag, where the prizes or the competitions were awarded. After winning a smallholding in BRUSSELL SPROUTS, the Met office issued a weather warning for the Lincoln area - WINDY.

The weekend put you in a Christmas spirit, many thanks to all. See you around the rally field in 07.
