There was great weather all weekend with a good attendance of 15 vans …including
3 N. Counties, 1 Kent, 1 S.Wales, 1 Essex, 9 Yorks
We had a welcome meeting by our hosts, Bob & Lesley and co-host Paul, on the first afternoon, taking the rally monies, and discussing options of things to do, and places to go. Most took advantage of the catering facilities within the pub at some time over the weekend. Saturday the pub provided entertainment with Singer Nigel Heap – previous favourite of a number of MCC rallies of years gone by.
Most ralliers wandered into York at some point over the weekend, either by the frequent bus service, or by the 2 mile walk along the direct purpose made footpath. A great location for access into the fantastic bustling city of York. Coffee morning was held on the Sunday morning, offering the opportunity to chat and catch up.
We were also treated to a spectacle of the Red Arrows fly past. They were on their way from RAF Aldergrove to RAF Mildenhall, a journey of approximately 450 miles (over 10 hours by road & ferry) which took them less than 1 hour to complete, so travelling past our rally at approximately 500 to 600 miles per hour, far too fast for most of the cameras waiting. Only Paul our Chairman managed to get a picture.
