Some new members really got into the spirit of things and had had t-shirts printed to commemorate their trip out in their Conway Tardis. Members only Facebook page, if you’re not already in the group search for Members of the Conway Owners Club and ask to join. On Saturday we were joined by our Son and his girlfriend and as it was such a nice day we went back to the Country Park and walked around the lake, however the typical British weather managed to catch us in a short downpour just yards from our car…marvellous. During the course of Saturday I was asked to give some snails a makeover by Chris in readiness for their appearance on Sunday at the Race night. That night we had a quiz with a difference….well, it certainly was different. Much hilarity and confusion ensued, much to our delight, as things didn’t go quite according to plan. Some of the newer members seemed very confused, but I’m sure they enjoyed the evening all the same, we certainly did. On Sunday morning the Club held an Easter Egg Hunt for the Children, and afterwards we all headed to the Sysonby Knoll Hotel and Restaurant, just a short walk from the campsite, where we all enjoyed a lovely three course meal together. Of course when you reach a certain age and suffer from full belly syndrome this means that an afternoon nap is inevitable…and very welcome it was too. That night Chris and Paul, with the help of others, ran a race night. There was the Children’s steeplechase, followed by the Filly handicap and finally the Stallion Steeplechase. The fence was then dismantled and the children were asked to find five snails…some were slightly concerned that they may have to handle live snails until our Race Snails were found lurking in a store cupboard. Once set up several snail races were held with a great deal of noise and laughter. Videos of some of the races are on the Contours 10 Prizes for the Children’s and adults colouring in competitions were awarded as well as the Treasure hunt and winners of the Big Easter quiz were announced. Dave and Val Woodcock organised a tombola stall and asked everyone to supply an item to be included; we are clearly a very generous bunch as the table was heaving. The tombola raised just shy of £70 which was split 50/50 between the Club and as a donation in Memory of Matthew Kitching. Some of you may know that Matthew had passed away after a very brief fight with liver cancer on the 6th April. His wife Alison and I sing together as the Conway sisters along with Mitch and others in a little group we affectionally call The Con- Artists. This year we will be joined by our good friends Rhys and Amy for the Disco night at the AGM. Alison would like me to thank you all for the donation in Matthew’s memory and to thank all those who have sent messages of love and support at what has been a traumatic time for the family, we really do appreciate all your kind words. We are hosting a meet at Lickpenny Caravan Park near Matlock from the 20th – 30th July, you are very welcome to join us (just mention my name when booking direct with the site before 3rd July). Full details are available on the website and elsewhere in Contours. We hope we see you at the AGM, if not, we hope you all have a lovely year. Michelle & Roy Tuxford Our grateful thanks go to Ken and Kath Prince who contributed some Easter Eggs as additional prizes. Editor www.conwayowners.org.uk
