Its 6.30 Sunday morning and the alarm is going off , a quick cuppa tea, up with the roller door, 8\u2019 degrees and the roof is off the Sprite [ of course ] , and we are off by 7.15 . The heater is hardly working by the time we got to Happy Valley shopping centre at 7.30 , we were not the first Sprite to arrive, the other Sprites must be locals <\/p>\n\n\n

You get the picture lots to see and owners to chat too. I think our club did us proud . By 10.00 the shoppers were moving in so its time for the Sprites to move on .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
