To EVERYONE

(that's so we don't miss anybody lol)

We would like to say what a fantastic Nationals we had in Toowoomba.

CONGRATULATIONS....JOB WELL DONE !!!!!

We know how much time and organising it takes to get the Nationals on the go........but its ohhh so rewarding to see your Bellett Family & Friends enjoying themselves and having a great time together!!!!!

Gricey gave me a challenge when I told him I don't dance....
so now I have a year to learn the CHICKEN DANCE !!!!

for the "HOEDOWN" in ALBURY

Great to see you all

Gary and Monnica Smith

Donkey and Sticky just left our place 2015 nationals are now done and dusted.

Thank you so much to everyone for being here with us in QLD and personally - a massive MASSIVE MASSIVE MASSIVE thanks to Greg, Lizzy, Occa and Trish for their huge physical and emotional expenditure in making the event what it REALLY was.......... A fabulous family reunion

I can't believe it's over so soon.............. all my family have gone, and now begins the great Nationals depression
BUT I know there is a very bright light at the end of the tunnel and it's the light of a warm family fire burning bright in Albury.

Donkey will be there ( and of course he will have some "HOEDOWN" modifications first ) and if I play my cards right he will let me be passenger again. Otherwise he can take someone else and I'll go with Jenny

See you all in Albury 2016
xoxo (the hugs and kisses are for you Gricey)

Got home about lunchtime today (Friday).
4470k round trip over 12 days, all without a drama.
Thanks again to all for another great event, easily one of the best.
Am very proud of where we've gone and what we've done in 10 years, and here's to the next 10 and beyond.
As for 2016..... Same bat time, same bat channel. Let's make it awesome.

We only managed to hook up for Monday night BBQ and Tuesday visit to Dan Bowdens, but soooo enjoyed the too shorter time we had together with remaining Bellett Family.

Liz, Jason and Myself would like to extend the biggest thankyou to Greg and Lizzie for your hospitality on a fab nght, only to be followed by the priviledge of viewing Bowdens awesome private collection on Tuesday. Truely memorable, thanks guys.

Will post some spesh Bellett and car collection pics soon.

Yep, it has to be said, and said again. That was a great week. We too are grateful, for the laughs, the friendship, the great interesting road trips and venues, and particularly that sense of being part of a family. Our common interest brings us together each year and we enjoy the good times. But there is much to be organised and those that take it on do so without seeking reward or profit, just the enjoyment of seeing it happen. So, thank you Queensland team. Truely awesome effort!

I know well enough we can't all be there each year, it does cost, this is a big country. I am fortunate to have a supportive family who like seeing me enjoy myself.

We were very honoured to receive the Spirit of the Nationals award this year. I was amazed to be awarded just for doing something I love, driving Belletts and Florians. They really are as comfortable as ever, and I am always confident that I can just get in and go. Perhaps driving them around the place makes it natural - if they will drive to town they will drive to Queensland.

We are already planning for Albury, fairly close to home, so I'm putting it out there. I want the Elf to drive there.
2016 - year of Dobby!
Cheers, Matt.

That in itself will be worth the trip to Albury to see

Should be a few "new" cars there next year that are well worth the trip too.
Can't wait! But gotta do multiple trips to get them there first.....

you need a long wheelbase Elf to fit a couple of cars on, Brett

Nah. Doing multiples means I can drag the event out for longer!
