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.
