[SEL] Ronnie Rally

[Russell Gilbert]

Same this way Graham, but not me exactly. Peter Willcock (ronnie register 
man) live about 5 minutes away. He was asked to do the same locally and in 
turn wanted to pass this job onto me.   Peter thought it would be good to 
do an artical on my 5hp Austral with the roof on it. And about how I was 
taking it to Ballarat. Unfortunately I'm working again and won't be 
attending. Had to let the story telling go this time around.   But a good 
idea non the less from the organisers and i can see that they will attract 
interest from far a field. should be a great show for the lucky one who can 
make the journey.
