Burns Night Rally - Hose
The East Midlands Rally at Hose in Leicestershire celebrated Burns Night in Grande Style. The vans arriving on the Friday were all checked in and parked up very efficiently by the stewards with most members then making their way into the hall for a cup of tea or coffee and a natter with friends old and new. There was a very welcome group joining us from the Anglia Group including some first timers to the East Midlands area. Friday evening after the sale of raffle tickets we were treated some interesting and entertaining bingo calling from Adrian before a couple of equally interesting and entertaining quizzes, again presented by Adrian. Saturday saw people catching the bus into Melton Mowbray or strolling around the village and having a drink or a meal in the local pub, with some very complimentary comments coming back. Saturday evening started with the formal Addressing of the Haggis in the very traditional way by Les with assistance from Joyce, Bernadette & Stan and everyone raising a toast with the complimentary whisky. We were all then served with a superb meal of Haggis, Neeps & Tatties (vegetarian option available) and very nice sweet course. The food was all prepared by Bob and his helpers to a very high standard and appreciated by everyone. Following the meal we held the Annual Curling Contest which culminated in a tense final between Anglia and East Midlands eventually being won by our own Sandra & Rob. Adrian then conducted his final quiz, all based around the life of Robbie Burns before we finished the evening with some music and karaoke. Sunday coffee morning and raffle was complimented by Vice Chair Sandra thanking the stewards, Adrian &Anne and Adrian &Gil and al those that helped for putting together a fantastic rally. |
