Leicestershire DA  Easter

Post meet: Despite the constant rain and bad weather forecast, Leicestershire DA held their Easter Meet at Normanton on Soar. They had a fun packed weekend for both the children and adults.

The craft sessions were well attended:

 

Easter Bonnets

Make a ‘Human Easter Egg’

The weekend ended with a very friendly farmer towing all units from the field. There was a friendly gathering of people awaiting the arrival of the tractor with lots of banter and useful conversations.

It was a great relief to see the first caravan towed off the field to the safety of the car park.
