READING RALLY

Schools out!

The rally started about 3.00 pm on the Friday for the Scrumpies, with most of us arriving about the same time.

As is the norm, once the tents were up the drinking started and we all settled into an evening of entertainment.

The good old tree trunk and nails was out, for us to show how good we weren’t at it. Bandit (a carpenter) showed us exactly how not to do it, by missing every time.

The Saturday rideout to a museum was not the place for us. Scrumpies went on a couple of smaller rides, one going to visit a stately home another going for a few hours to Henley-on-thames.

We couldn’t stay out late, as we had to be back early to start drinking, ready for the fancy dress. We needed enough alcohol to take away any inhibitions that we may have had, because we are normally such a shy lot!

The theme was ‘Schools out’ so obviously this invited plenty St Trinians outfits.

I just didn’t expect so many on the men!!

Much childish behaviour was experienced.

Followed by the well deserved punishments

Methinks Bandit enjoyed it to much.
