Myself and Steve met up with Sue and Terry at Woodall service for the journey down to Banwell in Somerset. The weather was playing a good part for us only a bit off a drizzle but other than that it was fine on the the ride down only stopping for petrol and something to eat and to continue the ride down we made good time when we got there we met up with other VSOC Centre 5 after a hello and a chat it was time to put the tents up but the weather didn't play fair rained for 5mins then stopped well we did get a dry run down once tents were up it was time to get down to the good bits ie a drink and a catch up on things as time wore on more riders were turning up for the rally time to get ready for the evening and to enjoy the party the night started off with a welcome and then a disco throughout the night for those who were daring on the night to try the local scrumpy as well as the other alcohol on sale may have woke up with a hangover and those who didn't were the lucky ones at the end of the night a burger van for those who had the munchies.
