By staying at Otaki for a couple of nights prior to the caravan rally meant that we had the least distance to travel and should have been the first to arrive at camp. Not so – by being the closest we just took our time ambling up the highway and arrived to find four vans parked up ahead of us, and our fellow club members sitting outside enjoying the sun shine. We found ourselves a camp site, the legs were wound down, the TV dish was aligned, and we were all set for the weekend.
The caravan’s stone guard and window protector had been dropped off to Canvasland factory a couple of days earlier for repairs. We had purchased caravan awnings from this company previously and have always been pleased with their products. Our repairs were ready to collect on Friday afternoon, as promised, and the price charged was very reasonable.

Back in camp again, Robin soon had the vinyl stone guard and plastic window protector back in place where they belonged.

This was our first visit to the Levin Motor Camp since Repi and Debbie have taken over the management of these camp grounds. This friendly young couple welcomed all our members club to the camp, and are very enthusiastic about their new venture. The camp is looking spic and span, and Repi told us that he had been busy on the lawn mower, getting ready for our visit.

As we sat and enjoyed the weekend sunshine, we were kept amused as the white doves fluttered around the dove cote. Repi had related how the previous managers had advised them to keep the dove numbers in check by removing the newly laid eggs. They had forgotten to do that, and the dove cote now had some new arrivals.

The annual AGM took place on Saturday morning, and a new committee was duly elected. Robin’s first Presidential duty over the weekend was to welcome new members Selwyn and Cath to our caravan club.
