Hah, Negritta!

I would also mention that we should spare a thought for Curlyboy. We saw him in Calais on his way home nursing a duff wheel bearing that had made him cut his visit short. Crying or Very sad

I hope he gets home without too many problems.

Hi Everyone

Thanks everyone for the messages of support, it seems that most members enjoyed the meet in spite of (or indeed because of) the doggie sideshow. Laughing

It turned out to be a good value for money trip didn't it? Hot air balloon launches on the Friday evening, brass bands on Saturday and Sunday, dog agility event from 7am Shocked

on Saturday, cabaret every evening - and all for free. Laughing

Many thanks to everyone who helped out, especially UncleNorm for his logistical support and KennyJay for the free cabaret shows.
Even the weather managed to stay fine whilst the events were in progress although we were treated to a good dose of French rain one evening. It's a symptom of the MHF members capacity to find something to amuse them that certain members were found to be racing origami boats on the flooded bits of campsite roadway after the downpour. Laughing

We just arrived home from our extended trip as have many others, I hope you all enjoyed your trips as much as we did. I don't think we'll be repeating the exercise in 2010 as we've "done" the band contest three years on the trot now, any suggestions for a French meet venue next year?

Hi Graham

I believe (subject to confirmation) that KennyJay will be gracing us with his presence (with full PA and backing this time) at the Global Rally on the August bank holiday, should be worth going just for that. If you'd like a musical session at the global, I'm sure the organisers could find space in the program - although I think you'd have to do a turn on the squeeze-box yourself next time. Wink

Thanks Ken,

Not sure if I can make the global but there will be others where a bit of music might be welcome (really must get working on the bagpipes Razz

)

Not sure that Folky stuff has a universal appeal but happy to inflict it on others ...if pressed Laughing

Haven't heard anything from Keith (free what not number plate:wink: ) lately... is he on the road again?

Hi just got back today so a belated thanks to Ken & team for running the show also thanks to everyone for making it enjoyable thro. the whole w/end.
For those that happened to notice my patterned windscreen I have just phoned Autoglass & they have confirmed that my new windscreen had been delivered whilst I was France. That was the good news. On the negative side they then informed me they cracked it when putting it in a rack but another has been ordered & should be here soon.
I'm off now to try & talk Lin. into going to the pub meet this W/end wish me luck.

Alex.

Hi

Just back after 2 months in France. The highlight of which must be the weekend spent in the company of Motorhome Facts. This was our first Motorhome Facts rally and we would like to add our thanks to all involved in making it such an enjoyable week end.

Look forward to seeing you Friday then Alex. Wink

Have you got any more cracks in that windscreen since Amboise? It looked like a piece of modern art last time I saw it. If you paint the unbroken bits between the cracks different colours you'll have people thinking it's a stained glass window. Laughing
