Suffolk Punch Trust, Hollesley

Suffolk Punch Rally

We have just returned from the Suffolk Punch Trust Rally at Hollesley. We would like to personally Thank Tim, Viv, Katherine & David who main marshalled the venue & Janice & David Kent for chairing the Rally. We were all treated to Tea / Coffee on Thursday & cream tea on Friday with homemade scones, Hedgerow Jam topped with fresh cream. Although the weather took a sharp turn for the worse with a huge downpour as the fun began, we all snuggled up into two awnings & had some good fun exchanging stories about other funny caravanning experiences. Thankfully the field drained really well with the sandy soil so no one had any problems get on & off the field which slopes very slightly.

This is without a doubt a fantastic find for the centre & its members. With views across rolling fields & breath taking scenery across pure unspoiled open countryside, what more could you ask for ? We recommend anyone who has never been before to try it next year ! The very reasonable rally fee included admission into the Trust centre throughout your stay where you can purchase a meal or simply have a nice freshly ground coffee. There was also a tractor trip around the Stud where a tour guide explained the important work they carry out to preserve the Suffolk Punch Horses. There was also the opportunity to get involved with some work required on the land for those who wanted to join in although I have to say the only brave ones willing in torrential rain was Viv & Tim so well done to them as they were soaked through to their skin on their return ! It was also lovely to see children attend with parents & Grandparents. It was nice seeing them flying kites & laughing out loudly playing volleyball etc.

Thank you to everyone who attended despite the weather trying to spoil our 4 night stay & of course Tim & his lovely family.
