Friday night
Well it was that time of year again, a cold weekend in January when the Emmerdale club meet, this year I drove up on the Thursday, a different way to usual and was on the M11 when a rain fall came harder than I've been in before it was as if someone was throwing buckets of water over the windscreen. We stopped at the Boundry mill on the A1 for lunch and somehow ended up in the demo massage chairs. The chair was quite good really felt as if it was a massage. After a sleep over at SouthernBelles we arrived at the Weetwood about 1ish. Falcon and SouthernBelle drop Clare and I off the went to the statiion to pick up Helen who had been worried she may not make it because the ferries had been cancelled because of the weather. At the station Helen, Beryl and James were picked up. Once everyone was safely there a drink at the stables before changing and joining everyone in the bar for the official start of the weekend.

After dinner there was a late showing of Emmerdale on the big screen in one of the rooms at the hotel. after which fans chatted and drank until the small hours,
