Hi ezzy i am sure that you would enjoy rallys,as others have said they are all different.We camp with our da and i am taking my 5 year old grandson away this weekend for 3 nights on our own.I do as little or as much as i want.We have been on a couple of cc&c rallys that the marshall has been a bit over the top,parking in staight lines etc,buy thankfully most are really ok.Of course i am a little biased in saying that i really enjoy the mhf rallys as we are more relaxed.The ones i have helped out with or attended we have usaully get together cakes and tea or simalar.Its a chance to meet up with friends old and new catch up and also to get any tips or advice,and hopefully offer any in return.
It is a great way to have a cheaper weekend or longer trip,so give it a try.lin.
As one very new to rallying, having only attended one MHF rally, there's only one word I have to say - FLAG!! This was the very FIRST thing OH had to have on arrival at the rally and beleive me when I say, a very great deal of expense and hard work has gone into finding a means of permanently fixing a flagpole holder to our MH since.
So whyever you attend a rally, wherever you attend a rally and whenever you attend a rally, enjoy it by all means, but don't forget your FLAG!! When you've got one of those, you've really arrived. Just ask Techno100!!
it seems i am sensing MHF is more informal than others! grrrreat!
phew no worries about parallel parking then!
loving the regular mentions of socialising, learning, tips, sites info and WINE - did i mention WINE phew - 2 ticks so far ...
my son doesn't scream he got over that phase about 6 years ago!! even when theres a spider in the shower room! soooo proud he hasn't at least learnt my bad ways as an example so just as a warning to others if you hear any screams from my unit its meeeeee! and i've found a spider ...
the dog is sort of well behaved as any dog is prone to be - much like children- good days and bad days - haven't yet sussed with the dog what causes either 7 years of teaching and 22 years of motherhood have taught me to recognise tiredness, grumpyness, over excitement, showing off etc in kids, the dog i'm not sure who he's trying to impress if anyone, often he seems hell bent on trying my patience but then that is a weimy, he means well has no malice is like a bottle of pop all shook up on a lead! he will heel and but is an amnaesic retriever hence 2 balls or more when going 'walkies' but best of all he loves me unconditionally and thinks i am the best thing since sliced bread (dogs aren't the brightest ) and if i go out of the mh for 5mins or 5 hours he greets me in just the same manic 'i missed u like crazy mode'!!!!
now the autumn is approaching dare i say it (!) i will be out and about more and will start searching for more rallies/meets to go to at weekends - hope that there are still going to be some for us hardened mhers - would love to come up to brean after shepton had already spotted that as so near and is a lurvly walks area but work beckons ( n thanks to maggie, blair, brown and the banks i am nowhere near retiring yet - one day ... perhaps i might try and pop up for 2 of the days? is that allowed or do you miss out on the flow of things?
'flag' is that those big things i saw in april or do you mean a small flag? the ones i saw were really coooerrrll - pirates, simpsons, twirly spinning ones etc - can i ask without offending are these to identify pitches in case you get lost or for after the vino to avoid disturbing the wrong wife/husband when weaving the way back to ones unit? ok techno100 spill the beans you've got me and praps some others guessing .... put us out of our misery ...
jented i envy you the airshow rally my boy would love that and i would - we are near yeovil and yet never seem to be free that weekend yet (!) or fairford - will do it one day i sincerely hope. lucky you tho - shame fergy couldnt meet up with my OH they could have hours and hours of conversation ZZZZzzzz!!! don't get him on old/vintage (nakerd IMHO!) machinery - well i think it takes one to know one
really looking forward to it now and to meeting some of you
see you soon if not shepton somewhere else - will feed back on any i go to
thanks to those who give up their time to organise them well done to you all

Correctamundo!! Ours is an MHF flag; no doubt others may be added later. Our flagpole is 6m long and as for the fixing on the van, that's for Techno100 himself to share! Happy rallying.
Unfortunately we do have to be a bit regimental at show rallys as we never seem to have enough room so you might find its a case of going where your put but we do try to accommodate folks as best we can.
Re Warren Farm Brean yes you can come just for the weekend and there will still be plenty of vans there to socialise with. We also have the Country & Western Rally at the same place so you have a choice of which weekend to come. If you are coming it would be appreciated if you could add your self to either rally list a.s.a.p.
This is our Flag you can purchase one at Shepton off either Clianthus or myself, price £8.50.
Re dogs mine are the terrorists, that is they bark and show off so we are used to dogs
Re kids most of the little horrors, upps sorry darlings seem to migrate to each other on our rallies and it might be a case of trying to find which van they have ended up in, we do try to park all the ones with kids reasonably near to each other though.
