Meet Reports
Swythamley - May 23rd to 27th 2025
Back home now after a superb four night meet at Swythamley. Thanks to Pat and Paul for welcoming everyone to this regular fixture in our calendar. The weather was kind to us on the whole, even so access to the hall for the whole weekend was appreciated.
There was a really good mix of talents among us which meant that the evening ceilidhs could include singing, dancing, musical spots and poems.
Similarly, during the day, we were able to offer a dance workshop, skiffle, indoor games and impromptu gathering for the musicians. The piano also got a fair bit of use.
Some of us took advantage of the location for walking or cycling. Destinations included the Brewery (of course), Luds Church, Gun Hill, Rudyard Lake and the nearby well dressing at Endon.
Hopefully, the weekend was able to offer something to everyone.
See you at Ashover.
Welbourn - May 1st to 5th 2025
We arrived in brilliant sunshine and once everyone was set up we had A evening get together under our gazebo with plenty of cake. There was a terrific thunder storm later that lasted hours. We had long coffee mornings each day with cake and evening entertainments with yet more cake.
Everyone said what a great venue it was with regular buses to Lincoln and all went home happy and glad they came
CHADS – March 14th to 16th 2025
It was lovely to meet up again with old friends at our first meet of the year, and to welcome visitors to the section. Our stewards, Jacqui and Richard, did a marvellous job ensuring things ran smoothly and full marks to Jacqui for her initiation into stewarding. A ’Bring your own meal and eat together’ was a good start to the weekend followed by a dance / social.
The AGM went smoothly keeping a fairly stable committee to guide the section into the new camping year.
Paul T led the St Patrick’s Day evening dance/entertainment after the popular fish and chip supper.
Driving home on the Sunday, we agreed that CHADS had once again come up trumps. It had as usual provided a lovely relaxed weekend of talking, laughing, playing games, doing the jigsaw, all with like-minded people.
CHADS – Oct 25th to 27th 2024
Our final meet of 2024 was at the homely venue of CHADS. Friday night we kicked off with a shared tea followed by spots and dancing. On Saturday we had sessions of crafts, jigsaws, dance lessons and jamming sessions by the musicians. After a Fish and chip supper the evening began with a fancy dress competition won by a newbie to the Folk group. The whole evening was dedicated to Halloween. What a fabulous way to see out the season.
