This year’s badge was a wee bit too busy for me.
Many tales of woe at this year’s Rally, just about everyone moaning about the traffic, par for the course these days I am afraid. Dave Angel suffered a hole in his radiator and Ted’s alternator gave up.
Some had a wet ride, a very wet ride.
Some had a long ride and won a few trophies.
Oufits of all shapes and sizes.

Do you have a translator I haven’t a clue what he said!
Spot tall Pete, the only person I know who makes a goldwing look small.
Some pics from the bar and function room.
Sue, he was on the Gin.
No they are not big tall glasses of San Miguel.
I think the second word was “OFF”
The staff did a sterling job.
Another tale of woe, I think more petrol was coming out the back than was being burnt.
Even more tales of woe, 6 hours and 6 blokes to erect this, “Quick Erect” tent.
Two clubs flying their banners
The silly games, always popular.
A happy sidecar
The driving test, don’t lift the sidecar wheel….
Showing how it should be done.
They did make up in the end. I would just like to remind Michael that he made a complete hash of the timed run, to be honest I am amazed he even took part, he couldn’t even find the start!!!
One second separated these two outfits on the driving test and it proved crucial.
Another award winning outfit.
John West, nothing but the best, but he had a dozen cats around his tent.
Lots of muttering, but it all worked out in the end thanks to Lesley and Don.
