Ol' 55 at Bellarine Estate
  
When Ann and I stayed at Queenscliff recently, we visited Bellarine Estate. We found out about this upcoming event which is a fundraiser for the local charity TEN02 which supports local youth in Geelong.
 
Everyone has heard of OL' 55 who are celebrating their 40-year reunion tour. The Screamin' Eagles recently performed at the 2016 Rotary Eltham Festival and they play The Eagles and other classic hits. We are assured of a wonderful day of music and dancing!
 
GENERAL ENTRY is $ 55.00 There is plenty of food from the food vendors and a cold drink from Bellarine Estate or Two Wives Brewery. If you prefer, you can bring your own picnic hamper (NO BYO DRINKS ALLOWED).

Sit back on the lawn and be entertained. No need to bring anything except a picnic blanket, chair to sit on and sunscreen as we have it all covered with food stalls, local produce, beer and wine.
 
Please contact John Lynch if you wish to join us on the day.
