There was a very happy atmosphere in the hotel over the packed holiday weekend, John and Carrie had the pleasure of meeting up with the RACROC reunion party for a very special occasion on Sunday morning. RAC stands for the Royal Agricultural College and ROC for ‘Rocky’ Sillence, who with Yvonne, have been organizing their football club reunion weekend at Blunsdon for the last 38 years.
They are officially the hotel’s longest serving & most loyal customers, beating the Palestine Police Old Comrades Association by a whole 5 months! To mark the occasion a rare species of apple tree has been planted in the Golden Jubilee Orchard. As it was raining outside, the ‘tree’ was officially unveiled by Rocky and Yvonne in Zans Bar; under the cloth there was a coat stand disguised as the tree, and a collection of maroon coloured football shirts, Rocky stripped off and put his shirt on, everyone was pleased to see he has stayed in such a good shape over the years, roll on next year!
