This was the big one – our own Chapter rally at Woodland Waters, Ancaster. Getting there early, I spent most of Friday helping out on the gate, checking in those that had pre-booked and taking money off those that had made a late decision to come. We closed just after 9pm and went for a drink and to see what the band was like. Not good!
Saturday morning and I had a chance to have a look around the stalls before it was time for the ride-out. This year we went to the Aviation Museum in East Kirkby to see the Lancaster bomber. A very good turnout of 168 bikes made it to the museum and there were many who took advantage of refreshments in the Naafi. As well as the Lancaster, the museum houses a two-seater Spitfire, several old WWII vehicles, a Dambusters bouncing bomb, hundreds of photographs and many other articles of interest.
Marshalling duties over and it was time to get the rally T-shirt before grabbing the camera and going off in search of anything interesting to photograph. Yvonne joined a number of other ladies in their pink hats for the Breast Cancer shoot and Andy went off to take part in the games activities.
Before we knew it, it was time to get dressed in our medieval costumes. Check out the pictures, but the jester wins! The night went very quickly with a good band and disco, prize presentations, superb fireworks and plenty of food and drink.
Sunday was clear up day and passed without mishap! An excellent rally, the best Sherwood I’ve been to so far.
