We woke up this morning to find that a Funster, presumably homeward bound, had left a book to resell on our doorstep.

Whoever you are, Thank you!

'ELVIS' has left the building.
The books, written by the Funster who entertained Funsters at Brid has been snapped up this morning.

To those Funsters who didn't go to the Club last night, we were able to announce that, through the sale of books and mud mats, we will be sending a cheque North of £126 to Prostate Cancer UK, (we have raised more since!)

Thank you one and all for buying books, giving books, giving a donation. It is very much appreciated.

The bookstore IS open today before we pack up tonight and head home tomorrow, (sort of)

The Emmits, Derek and Mary

BOULES, bring your chairs and come join me, behind the vans at 11.00.
EVERYONE WELCOME!

I have a couple of spare sets if any non player wants to have a go, nothing serious, just a bit of Fun.😆
If enough people turn up and bring their own Boules, we can have a competition? 👍

The book was returned after being read by my husband.
He got a phone call this morning moving his hospital appointment to this afternoon so packed up and did a runner.

Thanks Lisa, Terry, Bob & Denise, for another fantastic 3FFF's meet. Also to Dynamix for the sound, video & light show, and finally thanks to Dave & staff at Drax Social Club for hosting us at their more than adequate venue. Back home now (only took 1/2 hour) Looking forward to seeing you guys again in the near future.

Why would anyone want to come here again?

Why because we have a brilliant time😁, thanks to everyone concerned for making this a most enjoyable weekend and a bit.

Great entertainment, Power station tour, I never thought I would see inside one, so thanks for arranging.

We are looking forward to this evening.

Thanks Bob for the Ok, Pork pie I forced down the last of it at lunch time🤣.
The friends, we have and make on these rallies, create memories we will never forget.

"Lovely to see you again my friend
Walk along with me to the next bend
Tell us what you've seen in faraway forgotten lands
Where empires have turned back to sand"

Wow what a time, gutted to have to miss the Fun show tonight.!

Thanks to Lisa, Terry and bobnden - nearly had me dancing, plenty of singing though, I had all the right words just not in the right order, I blame the Black Sheep!

Taken a few ideas for my own rallys.

Well done on the book sale,

Rob the burger was great and as for the hog roast you really missed out, hopes that makes you feel better.

Quick change of plan, so threw everything in the back of the van & headed home.
Mega thanks to bobnden Lisa and suppose should mention Terry
:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
Thoroughly enjoyed myself and I think Kerry enjoyed all the fuss.
Sorry I didn't do the "goodbye walkabout" but was under a bit of time pressure.
Hopefully will see a few at Lyndon Top.


Typically as soon as I leave a FF Fixit meet I get home to find my 240v is throwing a wobbler... the fridge won't work on mains (nor battery with the engine running) but seems fine on gas... battery must have been ok on the drive home because everything came out of the fridge chilled... and the interior light works 🤷‍♂️

I'm guessing not the fridge as I tried the hot water on ehu and that has just displayed a E118 H error which I suspect is an electrical source problem.

Our first and hopefully not last Drax. Enjoyed everything from the interesting power station tour when we arrived to last night's open mic and musical bingo, and all the other bits inbetween!

A unique venue with a great rally field and a welcoming club.

Thank you to the rally hosts for all their hard work, it is appreciated.

Tugging since I could drive, now joining the dark side 😁😉
Well, that was FUN!

Second Funsters rally completed and what a rally.

I can't add anything more to what has been said above other than our personal thanks to the organisers and all the others behind the scenes for a well run and organised event.

Can't wait to do it again.

See you next year??!!
