Rally Report<br />

Sysonby Acres<br />

13th - 17th April<br />

Our First Rally<br />

As Kate and I had been looking at<br />

spending time together exploring areas<br />

of the UK, we were constantly drawn<br />

back to the ‘good old Conway’ and<br />

bought a Pathfinder from Pennine in<br />

September 2016.<br />

Kate suggested we take part in a rally,<br />

which didn’t meet with the most positive<br />

response from yours truly; nevertheless I<br />

Sysonby Acres is our first rally and whilst<br />

we had spent two nights in Accrington<br />

(to check it out prior to a long return run<br />

to Scotland) this gave us a chance to get<br />

a true feel for out-door living. We also<br />

knew a wealth of experience ‘on-site’<br />

would be on-hand should we need any<br />

help or guidance.<br />

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the<br />

Sysonby Acres rally: from the warm<br />

reception and welcome cuppa from<br />

Jim to the evening activities bringing<br />

everyone together.<br />

We appreciate these events don’t<br />

happen without a lot of behind the<br />

scenes work and effort but rely on<br />

supporters donating their own time to<br />

make it a success. We hope very much<br />

to meet you all again for the September<br />

rally in Derbyshire.<br />

AGM Rally <strong>2017</strong><br />

The Lawns Rally Fields, Fleet Hargate, Nr Spalding<br />

26th <strong>May</strong> – 4th June <strong>2017</strong><br />

We hope that you will be joining us at the AGM Rally at the Lawns Rally Fields. The<br />

Lawns is a tranquil and well maintained 20 acre site near Holbeach, just off the A17 and<br />

very easy to get to. The site is purpose built for rallies with large level lawns bordered<br />

by trees and shrubs scattered with wild meadow flowers to encourage wild life.<br />

The plans for the meeting are slowly coming together so here are some things you<br />

need to know in advance.<br />

• We will be having a sausage competition on the first Saturday of the rally – please<br />

bring sausages from your own region.<br />

• The AGM itself is being held at 11.00 a.m. on Monday 29th <strong>May</strong><br />

• Mitch and the Conway Sisters are performing on two evenings - the first one is on<br />

the first Sunday night with a special theme – Disco / Soul Music. We have again Rhys<br />

and Amy performing with them.<br />
