What a Smashing Holiday!
Yes, WASH 2002 was a fantastic weekend, with great entertainment, superb parties and camaraderie - so, on this bumper WASH page, we'll look back at those three nights in Norfolk just in case you've forgotten) - there's a review of the bands, and a TWO-PAGE interview with the National Chairman! How good was WASH? Don't take my word for it ...

As ever WASH was one of those not-to-be equaled holiday breaks you can't get outside of 18+ for even approaching better value for money.
There was the short-term singer and the invisible Welshman. The rocketeer whose assistant was likely the most lethal part of his equipment, the guy on his bicycle come round to complain, of his antics (at his age) regarding the re-entry of some unspent stages onto the caravans. The bar, the inappropriately named 2nd from last quiz team coining in joint 3rd from last (curse that Fareham Ferret and his bag of Lemons!). Biggles (new and improved) with pretty much nothing else of note other than a plastic tube! SA chairman being framed perfectly getting flattened by speeding Hillingdon member on video. The rare opportunity to imbibe alcohol, the friends. The L&SEA caravan pet (large. mobile. eight legs) briefly breaking up the committee meeting. Upon departure the duck rugby. What do you need? Two large teams of very non-playing ducks thrown a bread roll at a time - carriage!

A Postcard from Hunstanton
It was my third WASH and I really
enjoyed it.
Katrina (minus the Waves) was very brief and enjoyable.
The
dancing with "The News of the Victory" was also fun!
I even had the
opportunity to do new sports like crazy golf and putting!
The caravan
parties were good and 1 even had the opportunity to do some
snake charming
with my clarinet with people from my area
in the Hounslow chalet.
Lastly,
I am eagerly, looking forward to WASH 2003!
