Default Weekend with Minelab

At the weekend I went to a Minelab Owners Rally.
It was held on a farm next to Corfe Castle in Dorset,uk
I went on my own on the Saturday as my partner Mike was unwell.
I met up with people I had seen before but I got to meet a whole bunch of new people,they were lovely.
All the Minelab guys were there (those that make the machines and those that appear on the DVD's)
A pig was roasting on a spit all day, to be enjoyed with the evening entertainment.
Minelab not only make good machines.....they tell good jokes and have good singing voices.
The food was first class,not only did we have the Roast Pork......but also large pots full of Thai Curry, potatoes, rice, spare ribs, beef salad...very spicy but very nice.......and you could eat as much as you wanted.
Unfortunately I didn,t take many pictures but here are a couple.

Lovely photos, Anne. Really makes me want to jump the pond. I've never been but it sure looks magical.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh Anne I am so very jealous. That is such a lovely place. I would not be able to decide whether I wanted to take photos all day or MD all day. Hope you found metric tons.
