    Well gosh! I never in a million years would have thought I'd be so very impressed with this massive event. All the truck loving, big machine loving etc genes missed me out but WOW! This is impressive on so many levels. The organization, the management, the huge team of volunteers, the banter and friendliness of almost everyone I encountered, the effort and expense so many people had made to get their gear, some of it absolutely enormous, here from all over the place, the camping set up etc. We've had a wonderful few days in the midst of it all. Alan Dippie and his team deserve huge congratulations and certainly get my admiration.
    We're now back in Cromwell to spend time with family, catch up on domestic chores and play Bingo! Yep Bingo! We had such a fun night last night with Kate, Olivia, Poppy and my sister Margaret at the T and C. David, the tin bum, won 4 houses and Kate won 1. It was a giggle for sure. It was great to catch up with Trish and Neil and have a walk through of their beautiful new caravan. Lots of wonderful trips to come for them! We have a planning meeting for the NZMCA national rally 2026 on Thursday and then the weekend will be devoted to supporting Daniel as he heads the team for the Lake Dunstan Power Boat Marathon.
