Great Yarmouth Rally - April 13th - 16th 2001Twelve of us managed to throw an appearance in at Great Yarmouth this year and I think we all made a good time of it.
Bri, Chris, Deck and Andy rode down on Friday, to stop until Sunday.
Saturday morning Graham, Linda, Mel, Martin, Louise, Nicola and Craig met up at Blyth to make our way down. Louise pulled up having ridden down from Bishop Auckland to find her number plate had vanished, along with the 2 bolts supporting her newly fitted rack. She quickly blamed it on her dad, poor dad. So, with the help of the petrol station staff we made a cardboard number plate and got on our way about lunch time.

A few hours later we descended on the Little Chef near Kings Lynn and got them to rearrange their tables to accommodate 7 of us. Whilst in the Little Chef quite an amazing thing happened, no, Graham didn’t refuse food, Martin paid his subs, alas, there is a God !! An hour later we were on our way and the rain started coming down. 40 miles or so to go and Craig's TV started acting up, spitting and farting like a good 'un when coming off the revs, thankfully it kept going the rest of the way to Yarmouth.

We pulled in to Yarmouth about 4:15pm and soon ran into Bri, shortly after that we found our digs and got ready for the evenings festivities. Nick and Servetta had arrived the day before so we made arrangements to meet them, and soon headed off into town. An hour later we met Batty, Cheryl, Nick and Servetta, that just left Bri, Chris, Deck and Andy to find now, still couldn’t get them on their mobiles.
A few hours later we made our way into the VFM do at the Winter Gardens and low and behold, there is Bri, Chris, Deck and Andy.
My main memory of the night is green missiles flying through the air and people walking up with green fluorescent stuff on their clothes.
