Hi Dave,
I would love to be able to attend, but unfortunately this event always seems to clash with our annual work conference. I would rather be looking at cars, but I have a contractual obligation to attend the annual conference.

Its outside the school holidays next year, so we will have to do the late Friday arrival, Sunday rush back trick. Ah well, not the first time. At least its close to home.
Cheers, Matt.

Conference isn't all bad Matt. This year's conference in Hawaii

didn't totally clash with the Nats, but would have been too long away from the business if I attended both. Next year though, I expect it will be the same week.http://bellett.net/forums/posting.php?m ... =42&t=3348#

Wow Dave

You guys certainly secured a good early bird price.

We are locked and loaded.

Now to plan other holidays around it.

We are on the count down, 12 months and 1 week to go!!!

Might have to sort something out..... Mudgee is way too close to Brisbane for a proper QLDer road trip

Great one Josh and Sticky, bookings are slowly improving.

I know we still have 1 week less than a year, in saying that I ask you keep in mind my discussion in Albury, booking early is essential as Mudgee is a very popular country NSW tourist destination, this not my comment, it is for general information available on the Internet. Weddings being one of the most popular activties.
Travel safe all of you out there!!

I've booked a powered site from 12th to 17th..... now all I have to do is pull my finger out and finish building my teardrop caravan to tow behind the Wasp

Well all, now we only have 3 days less than 11 months to go.
With all that is happening, time flies like life flies by, get in quick and dont miss out!

I am working on having a very special visitor for our 2017 National Event, STAY TUNED!

Looking forward to catching up with you all again at the National 2017.

The Count Down continues!
We now have 3 days less than 10 months to go, with Mudgee weather as it normally is at this time of the year, it should be a great weekend!
Bookings are going well at the Big 4, booked the venue for the Saturday night and confirmed the booking.
Early plans and ideas are going well, we hope you all will be in for an excellent time with all the Bellett/Isuzu family.

BRING IT ON!!!

On the count down, now with only 8 months and 2 days to go until Mudgee wakes up to the sounds of masses of ISUZU's in the Valley.

We certainly wish to have much better weather than we have right now, as I write here the temperature has just passed 43 degrees, very unusual for Mudgee.

At this point of time we will have a visitor to Australia who owns a white 1968.5 Bellett GT, visiting Australia specifically to attend our National 2017!

This chap is Masahiro Tanabe from Japan, Masahiro is currently in Australia visiting NSW and next week he will be in Victoria until Thursday when he returns to Sydney, on Friday he will be travelling with our group to Orange for the Gnoo Blas Classic Car Show.
A very keen ISUZU owner and has many friends that also own Bellett's, mainly GT's, some of whom are in touch with me through Facebook and following Masahiro's trip to Australia. One actually thanking us for looking after Masahiro during his stay.
Masahiro will be coming down to Australia after an Invite from me to attend the National, he wishes to meet as many Bellett owners as possible .

Further update shortly, forms are a way off just yet, however PLEASE keep the date free (13th to 16th October), and plan your trips to Mudgee, we are planning what should be another GREAT NATIONALS for all our owners and families.
Book your accommodation as soon as you can confirm your attendance.
Dave M.

I had a visit from Masahiro a few days ago. A very nice and knowledgeable man.
I was very surprised by his reaction to my Wasp. It turns out he had never seen one before.

We booked our site the same day we got back from Albury. We got the site we wanted.
