It was our club’s turn to run the Central Districts Regional Rally this year, which was held at Naenae College. So we packed up the van and headed on our way on Thursday to finalise plans for the three day weekend, Wellington Anniversary Weekend.
Packing up at home
The early birds from our club arrived and we went over plans for the weekend, checked the bathroom facilities in the hall, and found our where the water supply and rubbish skips were hiding around the buildings. It was a fairly relaxed day as the guests from Wainuiomata and Wairarapa Clubs wouldn’t be arriving till the next day. Also attending the rally was a couple from Tauranga, and another from Gisborne, it was great that they traveled so fat to join us.

The following day the others rolled in, and Sue and I set ourselves up on the Registration Desk to welcome everyone and hand them a goody bag on arrival.

In the evening it was the Banner Parade and Official Opening. The banner holders assembled outside, then carried the banners around the hall.

The rally was officially opened by Chris Bishop, National List MP, the National Spokesperson for Covid-19 Response and Shadow Leader of the House. He is a born and bred in the Hutt Valley and still lives locally. Chris told us that his parents have recently bought a van, and were very interested that he was coming to open our caravan rally weekend. Perhaps they might want to join our club?
