Ellenborough Reserve October 2014

Rally Leaders Jeff & Noeline Newham



There were 11 vans, 1 motor home and 1 camper van in attendance for the rally. A total of 24 people. Jeff & Noeline did a fantastic job of coordinating the rally and organized a hamburger night Friday, dinner Saturday & breakfast Sunday. They also bought the dart board for a darts/cricket match, an interesting concept. 
They also organized for a group to drive out to Kindee bridge, I didn't even know it existed. A small number of the expert fisherpersons ( I do try to be politically correct, occasionally) managed to catch some fish but the rest of us had to rely on the freezer (again).
The weather was excellent with only a slight amount of rain until Monday afternoon when the weather gods decided that was enough and unleashed a storm of biblical magnitude upon the unfortunate few left ( Mark 'Moses' Townsend had already left but we will blame him anyway). The last photo shows the result.
King Lenny had a birthday and Chris baked a cake. He still insists he's only forty and a bit. But the bit is getting bigger.







Where's the dart board ?

Talk about style !

Now that's 23 plus 15 plus ......

This is serious stuff !







There's one in every group !

Lightning Ridge September 2014

Rally Leaders Dave & Carmel Moore


Only six vans attended. Due to illness and personal reasons we had some late scratchings. We had quite a few enquiries regarding the club, We had our banner displayed prominently near the amenities block which would have the best facilities complete with hair dryers for men.

A good time was had by all with plenty of things to see and do. Some went underground,there were to tours to pubs in the scrub and car door tours. Some even went for a trip to Queensland to see the Hebel Pub. A few even found time for a round of golf.

The Saturday night BBQ was the usual high standard with sweets being the winner of the night.
Our visitors were two locals and two from Singleton (who just happened to be in the park). Sunday morning pancakes were served by Carmel & Maureen along with Carmel's birthday cake. (cooked by Maureen in her Baby Q). The weather was excellent and the pool in the park got some use.
