The start of our November rallies was at social club under the shadow of the Drax power station on Friday 7th November to Sunday 9th. The rally was hosted by Nigel and Jan Pamplin who booked us in and parked us up very efficiently. It was attended by 22 vans – 18 from Yorkshire, 2 East Mids, 1 Lancs and 1 Northern Counties. The Lancs were first timers with the Yorkshire Group and enjoyed it so much they booked for the New Year Rally. We didn’t have the room on the first night so enjoyed quizzes in the bar area. Saturday morning a few ventured out for the long and the short walk to the pub. Unfortunately halfway through the long walk the path was closed for ‘essential maintainance’ and according to a security man nearby it would have needed waders to get through the flooded bit. Why this wasn’t posted at the beginning of the footpath we will never know. Some never got to the pub but the ‘short walkers’ enjoyed a pint. Saturday night we had use of the room so bingo and quizzes were enjoyed with a bit of music. Considering our AGM was held here a few weeks earlier, the attendance was a little bigger than expected and much appreciated for the members support. Some stayed on Sunday for the excellent carvery All in all – a good few days.
