Weekend away in USK

The Caravan Club Gwent  Centre was holding their Charity Rally in USK so with the motorhome packed we set off  in brilliant sunshine and was on site by 11am.   My cousin was coming down from Cheltenham and they arrived just after 11.30

This rally field is right on the banks of the river USK so plenty of fun and games for the kids with canoes.

 

This is  a popular  rally and  always well attended.

There was   lots of stalls and things to do and buy and the entertainment lasted all day  and ended with a karaoke in the evening. 

All money is given to local charities

5 Days away in Aberaeron West Wales

Wednesday  9th June  we set off for the caravan club site Shawsmead at Aberaeron in West Wales. This is the first time out in the motorhome since I had a stroke on the  4th May. The weather wasn’t brilliant and we left home around 11am. it took us about 2 1/2  hours  and it rained most of the way.

Our friends Pam & Cliff went there on Sunday they were staying in a static caravan for the week just up the road from the site we were on. Thursday we went on a tour of the beaches in the area.

Caravan Club Rally at USK

23rd to 25th April

Friday 23rd April in glorious weather we set off for a weekend at USK with the Avon Centre caravan club we arrived on site just after 12noon we were meeting up with my cousin from Cheltenham. After setting up and getting the barby going we had some sausage sarnies then went off into Abergavenny for the afternoon.

Back on site we got the bbq going again and had a few drinks and a good catch up chat with the cousin.

Saturday morning Geoff was playing golf at the Alice Springs golf club just down the road  it was the Avon Centre golf tournament rally and he was making the numbers up. When he came back to site we went into Monmouth for a mooch around. Another beautiful day and another bbq.

It tipped down with rain through the night but by the morning the sun was out again it should always be like this.

Sunday morning at flag the winner of the golf tournament was announced and yes it was GEOFF. he couldn’t take the cup because he was not a member of the avon centre but he knew that before he played anyway so the person who came second took the cup.
