BETHPAGE CAMPGROUND
URBANNA, VA
APRIL 21-23, 2006
It
was a very wet weekend at Bethpage.
Everyone
met Friday afternoon at 5 for the social at the back
porch overlooking the river. Nice view, but quite
soggy as it rained all evening. The Youngs and Harmons
provided a delicious Barbeque dinner around 6. The
party broke up early as the weather was not good for
sitting outside.
Saturday
morning, a delicious breakfast of pancakes and sausage
was served. After breakfast the club meeting was held.
Boyd and Shirley Johnson drove in for the day. After
the meeting, some of the group went back up to the
pavilion to play cards and chat. A huge storm came
in and drenched the campground all day.
Happy
hour was held at 3, followed by a pot luck dinner
at 6. We all sang happy birthday to Dan and Cornelia
and ate birthday cake. Old members Jim and Marily
Chase, who have a permanent camp at Bethpage, came
and joined the gang after dinner and got caught up
on all the news.
Sunday
morning, everyone met for breakfast and said their
good byes until May. Thank you to the Youngs and Harmons
for hosting.
The
May meeting will be held at Christopher Run Campground
May 19-21. If you have not told Boyd you are going,
its probably too late. Remember if you must cancel,
