Well a great time was had by all at the rally - the young and not so young.

Ian and Justin decided that this year it would be slightly different - we were having our own mini tournament so on Friday night every person who was on the rally had their name in a hat and what must be for the first time ever we had a random draw to see was going to be in the Unicorns Captained by Ian Pilgrim and Andrea Wallhead and who would be in the Lions Team captained by Justin Wallhead and Andrea Pilgrim.

Saturday morning the games began with under 11 football, teenager football and adults football.

There was also Petangue, Lawn Darts, Volleyball for men and women and also netball.

Everyone enjoyed supporting their side and tea and coffee and squash were provided throughout the day.

After lunch there were running races for all the chidlren which they all seemed to enjoy.

Saturday evening we were treated to a hot roast cob and salad and new potatoes courtesy of the Pickerings and Yeomans families celebrating Jeck Pickering's 17th Birthday and Georgina Yeomans 16th birthday.

This was followed by the ever popular panda racing!

Thanks to the marshals for a fantastic weekend and thanks to everyone who supported the centre.
