2013 Christmas Rally

There were nine vans at Thorntons Holt for the Christmas Rally. Those that arrived on Thursday met down the local pub for a meal on Thursday evening and were joined by Chris & Brenda. They couldn't come to the rally but had driven down to join us for the evening meal

Friday the rest of the ralliers arrived and we put up our Christmas lights before driving to the local village hall for a get together.

Saturday, Ray & Sheila spent the day cooking our Christmas feast and we were joined at the meal by Luke Deane who has offered to compose some music for our Silver Jubilee in 2014. He is studying composing at Birmingham Conservatoire.
