1 LRCCC NEWS Easter Newsletter March 2018 An Easter Message Spring is almost here, Easter is just around the corner and I'm sure many of us can't wait to enjoy rallying in better weather. We have already had several winter rallies that were well attended. Many with fantastic entertainment, which by looking at the amount of people on the dance floors, everyone seemed to enjoy. The Youth Rally has had a tremendous response and Jake, your Youth Leader, has an inflatables disco booked for Friday night, several inflatables for the Saturday afternoon and a walk to the large wooded play area in the grounds of Weston Park. It promises to be a fun filled weekend for adults and children alike. The 45th Birthday Rally preparations are well underway and there are a lot of plans in place. We have Craig Halford, always a firm favorite on our rallies, who I'm sure many people are looking forward to seeing again. We also have Rang-A-Tang, a real party band with their unique performance for our evening entertainment. On Sunday we have lots of attractions and live music planned during the day, I would love to see LRCCC & BL members out to help us celebrate. I will be excited to see all of your wonderful rally photographs that hopefully you will be uploading to the LRCCC website. I look forward to seeing you all on the rally field and enjoying the wonderful venues that we are visiting. I can't wait to get the BBQ & deck chairs out and sit in the sun. Julie Derbyshire. Chair.

The rally kicked off on Thursday with a games evening. Bingo was followed by Deal or No Deal, where Stephan Kril won 50. Play Your Cards Right, with Dave Mills as your delightful Dolly Dealer saw several people walk away with 5 prizes. Thursday evening also saw the first evening of our silent disco. Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings were all kicked off with a Full English Breakfast which went down a treat and was enjoyed by everyone. On Friday night we were entertained by the fantastic Bierkeller Schunklers Oompah Band. It proved to be a fun packed evening of silly dances, singing and laughter. It was great to see so many people enjoying themselves and joining in the fancy dress. The LRCCC Darts Competition was held on Saturday afternoon, with Pete Huat and Scott Williams winning through to the Grand Final. The final was played on Saturday evening, complete with walk on girls and intro music. Scott Williams proved victorious and ran out as winner. The Darts Final was followed by the incredible Killerstream. This brilliant band had us dancing all night long to some of our favourite songs. To finish off, they welcomed a new band member on stage Debbie Edwards. She was amazing!!! New Year s Eve was a formal night with a fizz reception and the casino. We welcomed in the New Year with a disco from Jake. After coffee morning on Monday, many people had to go home. For the few that were left on Monday evening, we enjoyed a quiet takeaway and a game of bingo. A fabulous few days with some lovely people.

3 Barnstones 2018 What a fantastic Rally to kick off A wonderful location just outside Banbury, with hard standing and electric hook ups. On Friday night we were all welcome to meet up in the local village hall, where Dave was taking orders for our Saturday night fish & chip suppers. A great chance to meet up and chat with friends and enjoy Dave s famous bingo calling skills. LRCCC On Saturday morning we met up in Banbury for a few fun packed hours of ten pin bowling, organised by Jake. It was a brilliant days entertainment, everyone that took part had a great time, both young and old. With yours truly running out as the King Pin bowler of the day. Saturday night we were back down the village hall for our fish & chip suppers, Bingo, raffle and a delve into Dave s big quiz book. We also had the Bonus ball and a Bonus-bonus ball due to a few technical difficulties. Drayton Manor Dinner & Dance Well done to all of the hardy caravaners that made it out in their caravans and motorhomes for what proved to be a great weekend. Although all of our members that booked into the nice warm hotel didn t seem to complain or miss their caravans too much either. We had a great turn out on Saturday night, with everyone looking superb in Posh Frocks and Dickie Bows. A great event, with gorgeous food and a great disco. I am sure everyone will be looking forward to attending again next time around.

4 Valentines Rally The valentine rally started off on Friday with Scott's speed bingo (rather than speed dating!), then we had a game of feel what's in the bag which was a good laugh to see all the sorts of different answers we had - a whip seemed to be a popular answer to a lot of the items in the bag and then we finished the night with Jake's request a song disco. On Saturday evening the room was decorated for a romantic valentine celebration. We started the evening with a drinks reception and then a three course meal followed by evening entertainment from Pippa Longhorne with a mix of different styles of music which filled the dance floor all night long. Sunday morning was coffee morning in the village hall. Ian picked out the first raffle ticket which turned out to be his own, but after that he let the rest of the room have a go.

5 The Green Man A chilled out weekend at The Green Man, Long Itchington. The Fish & Chip van was once again a firm favourite with everyone on Friday night, especially as we were able to enjoy a pint or two in the pub whilst eating them. Many members enjoyed watching the rugby with a couple of drinks on Saturday afternoon, but maybe not the final score. Saturday night we were entertained by Dave with his bottle top bingo. Everyone helped out Sunday morning making sure caravans got safely off the field. St Patrick s Rally Gentleshaw With spring just around the corner it was a very win- tery feel to the St Patrick s weekend at Gentleshaw this year, but despite the snow 19 units braved the elements for some Irish themed fun. On Saturday, the evening was kick started with Jane and Sandra s warming Irish Stew. Then following the Irish bingo it was time for the return of I m a Leprechaun get me out of here. Contestants were faced with even more gruesome challenges and this year the top two went head to head in Kiosk Kielty s golden coin decider. Sarah Shaw winning the overall game. The disco concluded with Michael Flatfeet and the Riverdance line up. A great weekend was had by all.

10 Royal International Air Tattoo, Fairford, July This year the RAF have chosen RIAT as their showpiece event celebrating RAF100, the centenary of the Royal Air Force. This means some changes to previous years, including a full 7 hours of flying on Friday with a special RAF fly past. The show organisers are indicating that due to the large number of aircraft expected this year they may have a different flying programme on each of the 3 days. The rally field is on the flight path for the display, positioned near the end of the runway, there is no need to pay to enter the show, just sit outside you van and watch the show above your head, an incredible experience. For those that can arrive early the rally starts on Thursday afternoon and if you want to stay on then the rally finishes on Monday. We have managed to keep the price the same again this year at 15 per night, however in a change to previous years we require a deposit when booking and full payment one month in advance. This unfortunate change is due to the number of units that booked on but didn't attend last year and is the only way we could retain the rally field at this price. British Leyland Camping and Caravanning Association We are looking for sponsors to place adverts in the 2019 Rally Book The cost is 100 full page 50 half page If you would like to place an advert please let me have It A.S.A.P.
