Mark Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 HI All Had a great weekend just gone at the above rally down in Leysdown on the Isle of Sheppy, started on the Friday afternoon through until Sunday afternoon along with the rain of course, on Saturday we do a convoy into Leysdown centre with an Abbot self propelled gun leading the way with approximately 40 vehicles, this stops by a cafe for about 30 minutes to take pictures and get interviewed by the local paper. During the convoy run we drop people off with buckets to make a collection for the Royal British Legion, I had a Reo full of kids throwing RBL ballons out the back and sides for the public and in total we collected just under £150 for a worthy cause. Saturday afternnon we have the infamous boys v girls rounders where the girls always cheat and win the trophy, this was interrupted by the rain a couple of times, where the boys had a couple of beers (supplied by the girls) and then resumed, I am sure this is how they win every year. Sunday woke up to the rain, packed everything away in the and drove off in the afternoon in the glorious sunshine, typical english weather, but once again a great time was had by all that attended. I have posted a couple of pictures of the vehicles that attended, and a thank you to Paul best known as Cripp on here who came down to have a look around, another HMVF member who is not just a name. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b114/MEasterby-Wood/CIMG0377.jpg[/img] http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b114/MEasterby-Wood/CIMG0376.jpg[/img] http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b114/MEasterby-Wood/CIMG0375.jpg[/img] http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b114/MEasterby-Wood/CIMG0374.jpg[/img] http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b114/MEasterby-Wood/CIMG0373.jpg[/img] http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b114/MEasterby-Wood/CIMG0372.jpg[/img] http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b114/MEasterby-Wood/CIMG0371.jpg[/img] http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b114/MEasterby-Wood/CIMG0378.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripp Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I could only make the Saturday but it was an enjoyable event in a decent setting. Nice and sunny for the convoy, which was great and the welcome free tea, coffee, sausage rolls and bread pudding from the Naafi wagon on the return to the farm was just in time for a downpour. Had a good chat with Mark and luckily we had a broken down Stolly and a large brolly for shelter. I think this will be a weekend do for me next year. Good to meet you Mark, did you get forced into the rounders match or did you make it to the beer tent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
