Camping - 2010

 

The camping section met at Bawdrip in Somerset over the Bank holiday weekend, welcoming members from London and Southern England. We had a lovely weekend chatting and seeing the local sights, does it ever stop blowing along that coast?. Completing quizzes.

 

The RC camping committee of Mark and Debbie Rowe, with Mike and Sue Edge, had organised fun and games at the local hall on the Saturday night and a game of skittles on Sunday evening, I heard moans at Portishead but this alley had it all a solid concrete floor rugby balls and the longest widest alley ever, which all added to the fun.

Andrew Cooper, Manager of CLIC House said ‘If it wasn’t for organisations like the Foresters we would struggle to stay open, and it was really appreciated that we were prepared to roll our sleeves up and do the work ourselves’.

 

 

Now, what end do I stick in the paint ?
