Light refreshments were provided and after registration and a briefing, we headed off to our destination of Fernvale with a diversion through some lovely countryside to visit Gor’s Garage.

At the request of the locals, when leaving Gor’s garage, Luke obliged with a short display on the designated ‘burnout pad’.  Then it was off to Fernvale for billy tea and damper.

Bruce and helpers were busy preparing a roast pig for dinner

Some relaxed and socialised,

others tried their skills with the cross-cut saw

while others were entertained and bewilded with the disappearing cards.

As the sun went down, the pig was ready – and so were we – to enjoy it

so we lined up very orderly and loaded our plates – and even had seconds!

Then there was the delicious desserts.

Finally, there was ‘Andino’ the magician, presentations and prizes, and off for a ‘cool’ drive home.
Thanks again to all who attended to make for a very enjoyable event.
