On October 28th Mill Rythe Holiday camp ceased to be a holiday camp and just for the weekend it became Wrens Quarters, as over 200 ex-Wrens and RN women descended on Hayling Island.
The main purpose of the weekend..To have a good time! While doing that we raised money for both the WRNS BT and the WRNS Memorial Garden.
There were activities running from 8am till midnight, and if you didn’t fancy indoor curling, putting, archery, swimming, doing a quiz or any of the other many activities, there were plenty of seats for people to sit and chat to their friends....that’s what reunions are all about!!
Rita brought her Services Wrendered shop and was joined by Joyce Courtney a very skilled artist who provided the pictures for the “life in a Blue Suit” calendar. They were a hive of industry all weekend.
The Staff at Mill Rythe were excellent running all the activities and providing the entertainment every night. They say we are the best group they’ve ever had, we certainly drink the most wine.
Mill Rythe is not a 5 star hotel and anyone who expects it to be for £120 per head full board, must be off their heads. What it is is an excellent place for everyone to get together in one place, there’s no catching buses or taxis everything is one one site. There’s no queuing up for food wondering if there will be any left, everyone gets waitress service at their table and all 3 course meals are included in the price. If you want 5* treatment stay in a hotel, if you want a good time, good food and the chance to catch up with old friends in comfort...
See you in 2013
