St Georges Day Rally - Long Clawson
24th to 26th April 2009
Marshals: Sandra, Mark and Savannah Purdy & Paul, Ivor, Laura and Ashley Winter
Report and photographs by Jackie Carlile

There were 25 vans attending the rally on what is one of our newer venues.

We were all treated to hot dogs and the “Kredit Crunch” Disco on the Friday evening and on Saturday evening there was a typical street party and a Lord ‘v’ Ladies Endurance test.

After a lovely buffet we settled down for the game.

Team captains Paul Hickling and Jackie Carlile picked their players during the evening for various games which included:

Eating 10 dry crackers (Nikki Wakelin ‘v’ Frazer Cross)
Eating marshmallows but not allowed to swallow them and having to say fluffy bunnies so that it was audible (Gill Hitch ‘v’ Andy Carlile)
Identifying items in bags just by feeling them
Riding two very small bicycles (which didn’t seem to have any brakes!!) around obstacles (Emma Pilgrim ‘v’ Mick Yeomans)
A bowling game for the children Boys ‘v’ Girls.

The evening got more competitive as the night went on but the Ladies eventually won – well done to them all.

Thanks must go to Sandra, Paula and all the team for a lovely weekend.
