Notes & Pics on Our fall rally




Our fall rally was very successful.   We had 34 coaches in all and 66 people.  The site proved to be an excellent location complete with small kitchen, fridge and stove. It sure made a huge difference when preparing meals and washing dishes although hot water would have been nice.  We will see if we can get the tank fixed before we go there again.   Many members indicated that they would like to see another rally there so Wayne is negotiating with the Easter Seal Camp manager.  The eggs in a bag on Saturday morning were interesting and we managed to get by without any disasters and the omelets were tasty. Mick Hargreaves volunteered to cook the spaghetti dinner complete with garlic bread, Caesar and coleslaw salads and desserts.  It was a big hit.  Little did Mick know that we were going to keep him in the kitchen all weekend. Saturday turned out to be a nice day and many enjoyed games and visiting during the afternoon.  The entertainment on Saturday evening was great.  The guys name is Andy Mccormack and he lives in Duncan.  There were many who wanted to know how to get in touch with him and hire him for other venues. I now have his phone number for those wanting it. The Ken Williams Memorial draw was held at the party on Saturday night.  Don and Bev Purdy will have free registration at the next rally.  Sunday morning breakfast was continental including the garlic toast left over from Saturday night dinner.  We didn't have any takers for the leftover spaghetti.  Nobody seemed to be in a big hurry to leave on Sunday so we decided to clean out the trailer and re-sort all the bins.  It will be in good order for the hosts for the rally in May.
 
Wayne and I would like to extend a great big thanks to our committee as well as all the other members who stepped in and helped us out.  It was greatly appreciated and made things much easier. 
 
Now we have to find a host for the spring rally.  I'm not going to say it's easy but I will say that any member can do it with the help of others.  It does not have to be the same as this last one and shouldn't be.  Some of the members indicated that they enjoyed the changes we made.  Remember if you are the host it is "your party and you can do what you want to"  Help is just around the corner.  All you have to do is ask.
