Carterton School, 17–19 May 2019

It has been a long time since the last report, this is due to some extent to the program used to post ceased working because of changes made by Google to the way photos are handled. A work around was available but clumsy to use. Open Live Writer the program being used to post has had changes made to it so that it now operates as it should again.

If you are reading this post then the changes have worked.

Now to the most recent rally which was held at the Carterton School and was a jiont rally organised by the Wairarapa Caravan Club. Of the sixteen vans in residence Heretaunga had 5.

As it was a school day on the Friday we could not get access to the grounds until school had ended for the day and all the children had departed for home. However most vans were settled in by 4.00pm.

We all ate together in the hall on Saturday night, cooking and eating our own main courses.  This was followed by a shared dessert, with everyone bringing their contributions.  As always, there was a great selection on the table.

After the tables were cleared and the dishes done, we played several games of “Card Bingo”,  with Harry doing a great  job as Caller.  Sadly, neither Robin or I had a win, so didn’t get rich with our gambling.  But never mind, it was quite a fun game with our “Eyes down and Looking”.

Visitors called in on Sunday morning, well known to most of us.  It was Diane and Pete, who previously  ran the Carterton Holiday Park for 8 years or so.

It was a nice quiet weekend tempered by the news that Bill Stevens of the Wellington Caravan club had a nastie accident and is at the moment slowly recovering in hospital – we all wish you a speedy recovery.

The Next Rally is the AGM rally at the Manawatu Caravan Club Grounds on Queens Birthday Weekend, 31 May – 3 June 2019
