It was a credit to Graeme as everything was nicely stacked away neat and tidy.
About 1.30pm our lunch was ready and everyone
sat down and tucked into a lovely BBQ and salads followed by desserts.
After lunch members spent further time in viewing the range
of vehicles and equipment plus many discussions on members cars that were driven to the event.
It was a very enjoyable and relaxing
day.
Firstly thanks to Graeme for his hospitality and the use of his farm, and to the Committee members who arranged the day and Fred
who I presumed purchased the meat, but also did the cooking.
But most of all many thanks to Dianne, Annette, Pauline & Maxine who
supplied the Salads, sweets etc., also to Ro who helped Fred with the cooking and also without hesitation did all the washing up.
It
was certainly appreciated.
We had to drive
across Melbourne to Heatherton about 35kms.
Arriving at Graeme’s place a number of the members had already arrived. While we
were waiting for the lunch to cook most of us had a tour around the property, blimey there were tractors, trucks and of course Austin’s
plus lots of machinery for the men folk to drool over.
The range of large four wheel drive and conventional vans and utes was an eye
opener, and, almost all were in running order.
The tractors were purpose fitted to certain tasks that was associated with the past
market garden and flower production on the property.
I know all present had a very enjoyable day and looking forward to another one in the future.
Thanks again to Graeme for his
kind hospitality and his brother Andrew and the ATHS truck club for supplying the tables and BBQ.
