Hello again.

          Its me. The one who has nothing better to do on a Sunday night. This weekend we have been to a new site for us. Drax power station sports and social club. The only site with its own fly over. ( as you will see from Barrie’s photos)  When I set off I had a vague idea where I was going but I thought I would find it easy by just heading towards the cooling towers after leaving the M62. Nobody took into account that the fog was thicker than Mums gravy. I didn’t see the cooling towers until I opened the blinds on Saturday morning. Well I think I am going off the subject. I did Find the site as it had been well sign posted by our hosts for the weekend Kath & Charlie.  8 vans in total for the weekend, Not bad (but could do better) On Friday night we all met in the club house for a few cups of tea. (Did I say tea? I should have said coffee) Well that coffee must have been strong stuff because I was the first out of the club. I actually left Dum & Mad still boozing while I went back to the van. I was knackered. (For those of you that can’t remember, This is a state you get into when you have been WORKING all week)

Saturday morning and the weather was a bit kinder. As I mentioned earlier we could see the cooling towers as the fog had lifted.

Steve, Barrie and the one who cant play (me) went for a game of golf on the local course. Our official scorer came along to make sure there was no cheating. (Will a tenner do the trick next time Keith?) A very tricky course but once again a very enjoyable afternoon. Thanks lads.

Back on site and just time for a coffee a bit of tea and forty winks before going back in to the club for another p---s up. ( Its all go with this club)  Charlie had organised a female vocalist for our entertainment. (yeh right) It was nice to be entertained by a professional for a change (but not as good as one of my socials of course) Professional singer and 2 games of Bingo.( first time I have filled 6 cards at once. I think I need a dabber) We all had a go on the raffle, Hazel won a box of biscuits and Louise (visitor) won a toaster. (That reminds me, we didn’t see the biscuits at coffee morning. Tight cow.) (Can I say that? Just did so there). A good night was had by all. Midnight before we left.( we was quiet when we got back on site. Promise)

Sunday morning and the weather was still kind. We woke to find a football match taking place on the adjacent (that’s a big word) field and a Dog show that was nearly in Les & Lillian’s van. We had the coffee morning out side the Stewards van. I ran it in Robins absence and did all the usual announcements.( sorry no one could hear me for all the bloody dogs barking)

All in all another entertaining weekend with Caldervale. Only a pity that we don’t get a few more out at the later meets.
Our Thanks  go to Kath & Charles ( Sunday name) for this weekend. Well done and keep it up.
Hope to see you all at Everton Hill Cottage next week
