Skellingthorpe - New Year
The New Year Rally at Skellingthorpe was a fantastic end to 2025 and a great start to 2026. Full credit goes to the stewards, Sandra, Rob, Pauline and John, for organising such a successful event. A total of 39 vans attended, including members from the Anglia, Nene Valley, Yorkshire and West Wessex groups.
Festivities began on Tuesday 30 December with an evening of games. Bingo offered three top prizes of £45, followed by the popular Lucky Seats game, where raffle numbers, dice rolls and seat swapping kept everyone entertained until the final six claimed surprise prizes. The evening concluded with “Open the Box”, won by Michele C, who scooped £58. Wednesday, New Year’s Eve, was free for members to explore. Some travelled into Lincoln by bus, while others enjoyed walks along the nearby cycle trail to Lincoln or Doddington Hall. The highlight was the “Rags to Riches” themed New Year’s Eve party. The hall was beautifully decorated with banners, tinsel, table treats and photo props. A welcome drink was provided, followed by a van raffle won by Ian and Samantha. Vida and Keith kindly donated a chocolate calendar to every van. Entertainment was supplied by singer Ady, who kept the dance floor busy until midnight, when everyone joined together for Auld Lang Syne. New Year’s Day began with a coffee morning, raffle and chairman Paul’s chat, followed by a relaxed afternoon. The evening buffet prepared by the stewards exceeded expectations. The rally concluded on Friday 2 January with a final coffee morning and goodbyes. |
