Well it was Christmas party time for the Yorkshire Group and what a weekend it was. Friday started off well with a fine afternoon for our hosts to book everyone in, we had 39 vans attending, 35 Yorkshire, 1 Essex, 1 N Counties and 2 E Midlands. The committee managed to get the room decorated without getting wet carrying everything in. So the lights, decorations and trees were all up and then the ralliers came in to decorate their tables. The evening was packed with lots of entertainment which included Xmas songs to sing along to played by DJ Mark, Bingo, raffle, Bonus ball, ending the evening with a karaoke session. Saturday saw us waking up to torrential rain and high winds, some ralliers still decided to brave the weather and wander into Driffield or further. The more sensible ones stayed in the dry and warmth of their vans and had a relaxing afternoon in the company of friends. The evening saw the ralliers, dressed in their Christmas jumpers, entertained by the Grinch (Ray), Santa ( Santa!) and his little helpers (Sue and Shell). A lovely buffet was provided for everyone to enjoy before we were entertained by Rob Dillon, an excellent show which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. After the raffle draw, both for the silly Santa presents and the usual raffle, we had the pleasure of a second session by Rob, what a great night. Sunday gave us a break in the weather for us all to get together for a coffee morning, say our goodbyes and head for home. The committee have advised that 7 free rally vouchers have been issued to Yorkshire group members who had managed to collect 12 loyalty stamps throughout the year. A big thank you to all who have attended our rallies this year, we hope you had a great time with us. Happy New Year to everyone. (scribe Jacqui)
