In June of this year, the Motor Caravanners' Club held its National Rally.
This was to be a special get together, to celebrate the Clubs' Golden
Jubilee. The chosen venue at Newark is situated in the centre of
the British Isles, and very near to the beautiful cathedral city
of Lincoln. Early in the year, I became involved in a
small way, being asked to produce this painting
to display in one of the many exhibitions to
be held during the five day Rally.
In all, the rally attracted nearly 1200 members from 24 groups that
comprises the club, groups that covers the different areas of the country,
with special groups such as photographic, country and western etc.

Every night seemed to be a gala night, this was when each group decorated their tables to illustrate
their area. Below Marie from Lancashire puts the finishing touches to our groups' table. Marie is one
of many stalwarts in the Lancashire group, a group I've been proud to be a member, but I'm biased.
In a moment of weakness I'd Volunteered to give a Watercolour demonstration
in an afternoon of arts and crafts. below is the painting I had to dash off, during that afternoon.
And finally Clare, our dog triumphed at the not to serious dog show. She got a first, judged to be 'Prettiest Girl' |
