{SIGH} Another Monday morning.
We spent our weekend on an Elddis Owners Club rally at the Rising Sun Inn, Pandy, near Abergavenny, South Wales. Since we were marshalling, we went to the site Thursday to set things up, so we had a slightly longer weekend than the other ralliers.
We had a total of eight units (including ourselves), a few less than we would normally have expected, but unfortunately we clashed with another EOC rally in Nottingham. (Yes - EOC members do travel that kind of distance to their rallies). The weekend was timed to co-incide with the Abergavenny Food Festival, which several of tha ralliers attended. Apparently it was very good, but we did hear some rumblings of discontent about the cost of attending the event. Entrance to the Food Festival (and that means entrance to half of Abergaveny town centre) was priced at ?5 - and since the Food Festival is really about people trying to sell you things, quite a few people felt that the entrance charge was unwarranted.
The Rising Sun was a new venue for us. As with any new venue we were a bit worried that something would go wrong - but it didn't. Everything ran to plan, and there was a general concensus that we should rally there again, although next time I think we will choose a less busy weekend. Watch this space!
