Christmas Rally Report 2011

The Christmas Rally at Brigadoon Holiday Park, North Haven, was well attended and probably a record attendance. Quite a number of members stayed for the full week in the hope that it would fine up. Unfortunately there were periods of rain which made things damp, but did not dampen our spirits. The recently acquired large tarpaulin which was erected energetically by some male members made a dry and suitable dinning/party area for the clubs social gatherings. Without it the weekend would have been difficult as suitable cover for the numbers attending was not available.
The number of members attending the Christmas Dinner was 45 and we gained another member on the weekeend, so welcome Astrid Van Eyke. The catering this year was considered excellent and the usual Christmas gift exchange was again presented well with plenty of humour by Santa Ros Lenihan and her assistant Colleen Crowley. Some gifts changed hands on several occasions, much to the delight of the crowd, and not so for some who had what they wanted gifts prized from their arms.
This Caravan Park offered large sites with plenty of room for cars and boats. The location was central for members but a lucky few only had to go just around the corner or up the road to get home.For those who like fishing it was an excellent opportunity to feed the fish so they can get bigger for next time.
I thank all those that attended and Colleenfor organising the caterer, and wish all the members a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
