As it was school holidays we were able to start the rally a little earlier than normal when at a school. So it was around about midday on Friday when most arrived.
Turnout was a bit smaller than the club would have liked for our first rally at a new venue but the six vans that did turn up had a great time. Those that could not come missed a good rally.
The Fabulous Six
We had the use of a huge hall, which was very useful as the nights are closing in a lot sooner now, and cooling down quicker as well.
On Saturday the Hurricanes were playing the Chiefs at the Westpac Stadium so Bill and Val, Glenys and Dennis, Lorraine and Charlie, and Robin all armed with “Gold Cards” took the train into Wellington and then walked up to the stadium. Dennis and Glenys managed to score two free tickets so that was them organised, Robin nearly got a free ticket to the corporate area but that was given to someone else when the giver realised Robin was part of a group. It was a great night out and the trip both ways in the train was very entertaining. Pity the Hurricanes lost by one point.
Just before Kick Off
The local Kapa Haka group were using the hall on Sunday afternoon and some went for a listen. Otherwise we did what we usually do and sat around in the sun and talked. It is amazing what we can talk about.
Sunday was completed by all wandering along the road to the Local Bar “The Boundary” for an evening meal. It just so happens they had roast pork on the menu and the Heretaunga Caravan Club finished the pork off as after our last meal was brought out they rubbed the pork entry off the blackboard. It was yum and good value at $16 each.
Come Monday morning no one went to the dawn service and we all departed before lunch for home.
