Russell, have you booked?  It might be worthwhile advising that numbers might reduce given the crappy weather forecast.

Hi Michael...Yep, all booked and confirmed.
If we lose a few due to the weather then so be it, I guess...
The weather forecast up Tatong way is looking a lot better than it does down here...  :popcorn

I'll 'second' that.

And yeah, good turnout, many of the regulars, some old faces returned and a new face - the other Rusty, welcome to an RTE.

Great photos guys and gals.  Thanks for a top day although I did get a bit ‘Moist’ on the way home. Great to put faces to the names.

Considering the pretty ordinary weather we had a really good turnout, and, as can be seen in the photos, some even braved the elements on their motorcycles! :runyay
Thanks everyone for making the effort!   :beer
