Chairman’s Chat
Hi All ….. Well what a battle the weather has been! With rallies cancelled due to the snow & rain and
having to re juggle Sandy Balls, it’s not been the start to the season we all hoped for. A big thank you to
Barry and Mary for persevering, rearranging and managing to accommodate all members that paid to go
over 2 weekends to Sandy Balls. A big thank you also to Mac and Bev for beating all the weather could
throw at them and finding a spot suitable spot at New Park Farm for the members that attended..…….
So with a bit of luck the season can only get better, with hopefully no more cancellations.
Fingers crossed I will see you on the rally field soon.
Adam

Rally Report
SANDY BALLS - Rescheduled due to adverse weather
3 members defied the elements and enjoyed the first weekend, they earned their
‘Weather Bravery Badge’ when they woke up to snow on Saturday Morning.
The second weekend, 17 units were treated to some much needed amazing weather and a spectacular lightning
storm on the Saturday evening. All who went enjoyed their stay, with fun times in the pool or just sitting back
enjoying the sun while having a cold one.
Rally Report
NEW PARK FARM – Easter
Many calls were received on the Thursday morning and into early afternoon
with reference to the torrential rain and the high winds forecast for this weekend, after
speaking to Mac he decided to stay as members had arrived or were already on their way.
We had 13 Units unfazed by the weather and enjoyed the weekend. After the rain on Thursday and Friday,
Saturday turned out to be a nice day and many enjoyed a trip out to Lymington for the market.
Thanks to the Easter Bunnies (Mac and Bev) for sorting eggs, and to all involved in organising ‘The Hunt’ for
children that were on site to enjoy.
We welcome new members Dave and Anne who's first trip out with the club was probably a challenging one but
non the less we hope they enjoyed it.
Extra Special thanks goes to Mac & Bev for Marshalling another excellent Rally in tough conditions. Your
determination to ensure they Rally went ahead as planned was greatly appreciated by all.
