Area Rally, 2010
Congratulations! must surely be given to Grimsby Circle for organising a truly fabulous and fun filled day. The Rally attended by Naomi Hickey, National President, and ladies from around Area 28, took place at the idyllic Brakenborough Arms Hotel, Louth.
After time to chat and have photographs Ladies were indulged with a meal of Pate, Chicken Chasseur and Lemon Tart.
Guest Speaker, Ilona Richards, who appeared on Channel 4’s “The Search For Britain’s Tightest People”, thrilled ladies with her interesting stories and viewpoints on life.
Known locally as "The Mean Queen", Ilona, is a self-confessed miser.
She wears boys' pants because they last longer, and she wears them until the seams are literally falling apart, and yes she did show us that she was wearing them! Much to the embarrassment of the gentleman who had acted as the master of ceremonies for precedings.
So thanks and admiration goes out to; Jenny Jackson (Chair), Sarah Habbershaw, Lisa Eagles, Lisa Hargreaves, Catherine Watson, Sarah Harding and Angela Chase for making this Rally so memorable.

The highlight of the night was the judging of the novelty sporran competition, judged by Area 28 Chair Rachael Hockmeyer, Boston 525 Chair Sarah Hill and Boston 525 President Jude Doig. Click on the video to see if you agree with their judgement, the winner was Paul Trevor with his “RED DANCING SPORRAN” Julia Scrimshaw Vice Chairman Boston 525

All of which seem to have been attractedto our high viz jackets.We marched off to our marshal point No. 5 to be responsible for manning the Bollard which was right in the middle of the pathway where the ladies were to run. I stood just behaind the bollard with Michelle at the side. Between
us we shouted to the laides as they approached to "mind the bollard", big bollard approaching ladies!"
us we shouted to the laides as they approached to "mind the bollard", big bollard approaching ladies!"
We gave quite a few of the ladies a giggle!
After standing down at our marshall point after the last walker past us, we moved onto the 4K mark to cheer on the ladies as they approached the finish line.
Being part of the Race for Life is a fantastic experience and one I would recommend to you all to do. There is still time to join us at the Kings Lynn Race on 20th July, let me know if you are interested and I'll register you (for marshalling that is!!!)

Area Chair's Breakfast in ball gowns
Last Sunday, Rachael, hosted a Breakfast in Ball gowns at her local transport cafe. However, it ended up that the joke was not on her, but rather on two tablers who seem to have been under the opinion that they also had to wear dresses.
Well done Chrisitan and JP you certainly did show us girls how to wear dresses with style and finesse!
