Had a brilliant Saturday visit to my first MHF Rally.
Blazing sun, greeted with open arms, watered, feed & treated like a long lost brother! Cool

Great to meet all you guys & guyesses. Special thanks to Hymmi, (great do lass!) Bella, RockieRV, Kands & Scotjimland.
Just one sour note, agreed a straight swop, my MR2 for Scotjimland's RV, with his son Paul. What did Jim do ... shot off the the pub & reneged on the deal! Crying or Very sad

Hope you all have a good evening.
Thanks again, from your none MH dwarf. (If only Jim hadn't gone off to the pub Rolling Eyes

)

Sorry about the RV deal!! Glad you managed to get along there and meet everyone (I am very jealous ... our MH has been in for repair for over 6 weeks now!! Crying or Very sad

) so you are not the only one with no MH ... you came close to owning a RV though, but better luck next time!! Laughing

Hearing all about this wonderful rally , blow by blow account from hymmi and it sounds just great!! Ana xx

Glad you enjoyed meeting the peeps, Drummer.
It's a very convenient place for a rally isn't it? No winding country roads to negotiate if the weather is bad.

I'm a bit envious but it was a bit too near for us as it's only about 5 miles and at that distance I would have been tempted to come home to sleep. Smile

I hope they all enjoy it.
It can be a cold place at Copt Oak. If the weather does turn bad round here it's usually the Markfield (Copt Oak) area which gets it.

We're off to the CC site at Broadway this morning for 4 days. 'See' you all when we get back.
Ana, that 6 weeks without the mh must seem like a lifetime. Hope you get it back soon.

Hi
Just got back from the Midlands Rally and want to say a very big thanks for all the effort that so obviously went into making this the best rally we have ever been on. What can I say???? It was great meeting up with all the people that we have "chatted" to on the website and we look forward to booking into the next one. We cant make next weekend Hymmi so it will have to be the weekend after that....lol
I would also like to thank all the people for their help in pushing 6.5 tons of Rocky backwards so we could get her started and all the gang helping to achieve the startup itself, Roadrunner your jump cables were invaluable mate thanks.....
If any pictures appear on this site showing 2 RV's connected by an umbilical like cord then it is someones idea of a joke using photoshop, this didn't happen Rolling Eyes

and the guilty parties that put these pics on should buy me a drink next time around. Laughing

:
I hope everyone had a good time and I look forward to seeing all the other comments.
A BIG THANKS to Rob (motorhomersimpson) for the donuts...... They were delicious mate Razz

I will add any pics we have to any album that is sure to be started and once again a big thanks to Hymmi and Dave, Lady J and RR Dave, fantastic guys Very Happy

By the way Drummer, it was great to meet you at long last, you made my day mate. I seriously hope that you get your dream soon but whatever you are always welcome to come and visit us anytime......

We Echo Echo the thanks & appreciation for organising this rally - and for all the hard work that went into making it a VERY enjoyable weekend.
What more could we have asked for ? -- we had good company, tons of food, no rain & this being the first time we have used it during the cold weather we were tostie warm all night long in our van with the heater on its lowest setting - now its time to do some "improvements" such as fitting a second leisure battery & getting a red gas cylinder to save us wrapping our blue one in blankets - which fortunately done the trick so no loss of lpg !, the only downside of the weekend is that the cooker decided not to work . . which forced us to go into the pub [ several times ] Laughing

I'm sure there will be far more elequent 'thanks you's from others but we were very impressed at the high standard for a rally being set - thank you, your hard work is much appreciated.

Hello everyone
Many thanks from us to Jean and Dave - we have arrived safely home c 5.10pm!! Not a bad run apart from the A34 outside Oxford - but we were warned but it proved the best way home anyway.
Great to put faces to names at last - looking forward to seeing you all again soon. The food and company were excellent - a rare opportunity for us to socialist!
Great to meet you Drummer - I wish I had a spare few pounds to bequeath you to buy a machine - we LOVE ours! Long may it continue.
All good wishes
