Ok. Sue has done her magic !! I'm hoping I can put up the photos tomorrow for all to see.

I've been able to send them as an attachment in emails to John Ballard and Les Whale (NSW Morrie Club Magazine Editor) today. However, and it will be a simple thing I'm doing wrong, but my IT buddy is going to show me how to put the photos up on the forum tomorrow. Embarassed

As it turns out, I was one of the very few that took my camera, so there are a lot of photos showing my blue ute. I had my son take as many photos as he wanted of the parade and of course most of the shots included the blue ute. So please don't think it is a bias collection.

There are heaps to look at, including tractors and other car makes that took part.

There are also some photos of club members ( all seem to be just eating and drinking - when not behind the wheel) that other forum members may recognise or relate to.

But a big thank you has to go to John and Sue Ballard for hosting and organising such a great weekend. The rain inevitably cancelled the Village Fair on the Sunday, but it didn't dampen the enthusiasm of everyone that took part. Very Happy

John
That is why it is called a "stick"
