Valentines Rally Cirencester, February 2005 by Lucy Parsons (aged 11)

The Valentines rally at Cirencester was fun. We arrived on the Friday at about 6.00pm and were closely followed by our good friends Melanie, Nicola & Rachel Goodsell and their mum & dad. The site was on a hill and it took a long time for our parents to level the vans. On the Friday night we went to tea and coffee but me and Mel soon got bored and went back to my caravan, to play the card game UNO.

On the Saturday morning we did our competitions (word search or crossword) followed by some more games. We then went to Tesco’s to buy some food to bring to the American supper that night; and some decorations for our table which were crepe paper, candles straws and heart shaped balloons to make into fun decorations to help us win the best dressed table prize. We made really good decorations out of crepe paper.

We went down to the village hall which was about a mile away from the site and dressed our table. But unfortunately we didn’t win. I won the Childrens competition and Nicola won the Teenagers one we both got a Boots voucher. Then we had a quiz called the Mr + Mrs, where the wife had to answer questions about the husband and vice versa.

On the Sunday we all woke up to snow not to mention sleet, wind (lots and lots), hail, wind, sun, basically every kind of weather you can imagine.
