A Meare Weekend in Thorpeness

A new venue at Thorpeness…..

The Whitsun Bank Holiday weekend saw a new rally venue for the Suffolk Centre. For many years the club have (and still do) use the cliff top at Thorpeness but this year we also held a rally on the Ogilvie Pavilion and Sports Ground. It was a lovely well maintained site with beautiful views of the House in the Clouds and only about 200m from the Dolphin Public House.

The weather was glorious and saw many ralliers wandering around picturesque Thorpeness or nipping up the road to Aldeburgh for a great supper of fish and chips. The rally began with tea & coffee Friday with a spot of quoits, a quiz about Thorpeness written by Graham Noye and then, crafts and volleyball for all ages (refereed by Mrs Peggy Lee) and Bingo and a communal BBQ.

We have booked the venue for next year too and anticipate a rally fee similar to this year (around £32 for the 3 nights).
