This year has been a struggle in both health and wealth (they go hand in hand when you work for yourself), so it means I simply can't go.
This is also why things down here have been very quiet this year.... My cars aren't being used at the moment too, but it is what it is.
Hope you all enjoy the Nats. Cheers.
NOoooooooooooo
That's such a bugger. I was really looking forward to catching up and carrying on with the usual banter over a few beers.
Gonna miss ya bro
Sorry to hear that your not coming. Brother Joe and my first Nationals was 2007. Having been welcomed by
yourself and Steve and big Ken.
Will miss the usual chat that we have. Hopefully 2018 will bring you a healthier and prosperous New Year.
Dave.

We thought about getting in a day earlier and staying at our favorite Mudgee pub on Wednesday night, but seeing that we have ended up at Echuca tonight

I don't think we will be there until Thursday now
After all it is a long way from the Sunshine Coast QLD to Mudgee....... via Albury....... via Echuca....... via Norm Vearing's at Wagga Wagga tomorrow..... via ??????
But we're still coming

A big thank you to Julie and Dave and all their helpers for another wonderful Nationals for 2017. As usual we all had a lot of fun, sight seeing, eating too much delicious food, mingling with old friends and making new ones. It was wonderful to welcome some new enthusiasts to our Isuzu family; and to know many will join us again next year.
Hope everyone had a good, safe trip home. Flo ran like a dream on Monday and we spent the night in the old town of Grenfell. The only motel turned out to be an old but very luxurious retreat with embroidered sheets and towels, doilies and a lovely crystal bowl on the table. Service was lovely and we had a fabulous welcome and meal at one of the 5-6 pubs. It was like walking back in time. We will definitely be going back for another visit. Flo played up on and off Tuesday with fuel problems and finally died about 2.5 klms from home - but still away we went and arrived home safely.
Now we look forward to the 2018 Nationals and wish Peggy, Steve and their helpers all the best.

Thanks for posting that Graham. I hadn't seen it before.
I told Dave I had a good head for radio
http://bellett.net/forums/posting.php?m ... =42&t=3348# when he told me he wanted me to be interviewed.
Also I have looked at home for radiator hose clamps for you, but only have heater hose clamps. I will look at work next week, as I do have more Bellett bits up stairs.

Well, Dad and I would like to thank Julie, Tom, Neil, Jan and Dave for organizing a fantastic Nationals!
I can understand the effort that goes into the planning and catering for an event like this.
WELL DONE!
Thanks Sticky for your great photos leading up to and during the event. I’ll just put a few more up that are a little different.
Cheers,
Lewis and Dad ( John or Pop)
