CHAIRMAN'S CHARITY RALLY 2009
 
In aid of Northamptonshire Association for the Blind  (NAB)
The Chairman' Rally was held at Stoke Bruerne on the weekend of 26th to 28th June in blazing sunshine,
with 37 Families in attendance, including visitors from Upper Thames and Nottinghamshire

On Saturday morning Dave Fulker arranged a fishing match on the nearby canal, while in the afternoon a Fete was held, to raise money for Northampton Association for the Blind.  With Games and Stalls set up by Centre Members, the atmosphere was just like a local village Fete, and everyone had a great time.

On a balmy Saturday evening, entertainment was supplied by Terry Jay who gave us music from the 50,s 60's & 70's to dance and sing along to. The final play off 'grudge match' for the putting competition took place during the interval, between Past Chairmen John Teat & Stan Hager, with the prize going to John, after a very tense knock out competition.

Geoff & Sylvia Beddoe also celebrated their 400th rally over the weekend

Various members  ran Games & Stalls, including :

Golf Challenge ( Mark Jenkins), Coconut Shy (Malc Pack)

Horse Shoes ( Geoff Rose) , Lawn Darts ( Winnie Mitchell)
