Members in and around the Yarra Valley:
Local radio station Yarra Valley FM 99.1 do a segment each Friday at noon about things in and around the valley.
This week, special guests are the President of Ben's Shed and myself as rep of the BCCV to talk about Sunday's run, the 50 years of Bellett's in Australia, the club, and Ben himself and the role of the shed today.
Tune in if you can.
Cheers.

Since I am not on Facebook, i am posting a few pics here.

I'm not sure of exact number, others will correct me but i think 10 or 11 Belletts plus Jason's '50yo' Prince. Fantastic to see 3 Belletts who travelled very long distances also to attend.

Most of us met up at Emerald Park Lake (pictured) as arranged then enjoyed the winding 50km roads to the destination at Ben's shed. Lunch followed.
Rain held off too.

I am unsure of exact number of Belletts in our Club (on the road that is) but can think of 3-4 others who were unable to attend on the day, due to other commitments.
Weather held off and all enjoyed the day i am sure. Lunch at local Pub was great also, but no cake....... just sweets after lunch :)

Quick video from the day, with thanks to Rod from Ben's Shed.
Will be some cars and people unknown to most of the forum, but shows we have a strong Bellett enthusiasm here in Victoria.
