Thanks to Gaspod and Norm for their efforts in trying to please all who attended and to the evening circle gathering. We found it went a little cold in the evenings and if it wasn't cold the midges had a nibble at us so we retired early. Quite how the band from Manchester failed to win is a mystery they were just fantastic and the crowds favourite. As for the agility dogs, they proved quite an interest and provided a free show to anyone who cared to attend the event in the next field. An enjoyable weekend and one worthy of putting in next years calendar.
I would also like to express our thanks to Gaspode, Clianthus, Uncle Norm and Auntie Sandra who 'organised' the weekend meet in Amboise.
It was our first MHF gathering and we were made to feel most welcome, we met some fabulous people and we enjoyed the weekend enormously. We will be back for future meets/rallies.
......................... Both Chris and I would like to thank you all who sent us the lovely picture card from Amboise along with your greetings and wishes, it would have been so wonderful if we could have made it as we planned this year but so pleased you could all go and enjoy yourselves and support the group.
Thank you Norman and Sandra for keeping in contact enjoy the rest of your tour and we will see you when you get back.
Its good to read the forums to keep up with how everyone is looking forward to and enjoying their camping trips.
well what a good time we had with you lot, very friendly crowd, had a bit of trouble with the siting under the trees, but with the help of Ken & all, we moved to a much better spot. thanks to you all, saw plenty of music performances, & great they all were.the evening get togethers were great, bit on the cool side though. the only trouble we had was getting to know everybody, -- so again thanks to you all for a great meet, so you again sometime.

Florette and I certainly enjoyed the Friday evening camp get around and the entertainment and of course the bands were just great. I see from above that the young band from Manchester didn't make winners, what a pity. Who won?
We sprinted back to site in that late afternoon shower and packed up, due to the dog population. We don't mind them, but that row and the show people and tannoy etc were just too much.
Our grateful thanks to Ken and all concerned and it was so nice to put faces on avatars. We had a fairly poor weather 4 days on the coast near Nourmoutier till the Thursday which suddenly was scorchio!!!. The family went home on the Friday and we moved on from this big commercial site ( our rates 26e per night!!!) where they were Eurocamping and had a great sunny week exploring South Bretagne and found some smashing sites which I will check and add to the directory.
Thats us back from our first 'meet'. We really weren't sure what to expect but I'm happy to report that we really enjoyed our 4 days at Amboise.
We were made to feel very welcome by everyone and we met some really nice people over the weekend.
For us the Dog Agility Championships being held in the next field was a bonus - a great spectator sport!
Special thanks to Gaspode, Clianthus, Uncle Norm and Auntie Sandra for organising the meet.
Now, where for our next meet
P.S - Curlyboy - your sticky tape repair for our mirror is still holding strong!

Just returned from France last night, late, hence not posting before now.
The Brass Bands were great, as was the company and the entertainment, our own I mean, total enjoyment. . How the Manchester band didn't win, I'll never know, but then I am slightly biased being a northern lad .
The fact that there was an agility dog show on at the same time only added to the enjoyment. The fact that we are no longer dog owners didn't detract from the pure fun of the event- the dogs, and their owners, were obviously enjoying it tremendously. Just to make a point for those who may think that it was very rowdy, I've never seen so many dogs in one place (apart from Crufts - there you go Grumpyman ) which were so well behaved, even when off their leashes.
Only one small complaint for the weekend - Mike, when you cleaned the screen on Saturday night, you missed a heck of a lot of squished beasties, not that I'm ungrateful mind you, it was raining heavily at the time, but that should have made it easier, that's the last time I pay you in spirits of the Naval variety . Oh, yes, the weather improved after the weekend and following Monday - sun, glorious sun.
Those who were there, greetings and hope you enjoyed, or are still indeed enjoying, your trip, Those who weren't there, you missed a super meet. Peter, I'm sure you would have been there if you could have, you would have enjoyed it, stay strong and we'll hopefully see you soon.
Ken (Gaspode), Jen (Clianthus), Uncle Norm and Aunty Sandra, thanks for your enthusiasm in getting so many wonderful people together, long may you continue.
Ken, you have a PM

It is good that you all enjoyed your trip to Amboise Keith, I know those I had spoken to were looking forward to returning for a second visit! or going for the first time, just as we were looking for, but you guys were there for us in spirit, and we shall definitely be out somewhere doing something soon.

It's thanks to the hard work of these guys that make the rallys worthwhile and give people the chance to meet each other and share their own experiences with like minded motorhomers and create new friendships!
We have just arrived back home after starting our trip away with a visit to Amboise.
We would both like to say how much we enjoyed meeting up with everybody and add our thanks to Gaspode and Uncle Norm for setting the Meet up.
I think it is also important to say a thank-you to Kenny for providing professional level entertainment (not to mention Mrs Pneumatician and Ken 'Formby' for their stand-up skills and not a little bravery in the face of the rest off us).
Sprokit. I'm sorry that I did a second rate job on your screen. (if you believe that...........) I expect you to to show me how to do a decent job next time we meet by cleaning mine for me.

No chance without recompense (liquid form will do )
