The vehicle can be in any condition. It is good to have vehicles in various states of restoration. We won't be doing another Guinness Book of Records attempt like we did in 2002 as it requires someone to focus on meeting more requirements than in the past. I am wondering if we can achieve a total of more than 50 Blitz's. I have heard of a number of people who are busy trying to get their vehicles on the road and wish you all the best.

The Murray River is up at the moment. I was there last week and I took a few photos. Let's hope a few people with amphibious vehicles will attend too.

Fantastic. Now it's back to mere severe drought conditions.

Default Condition

Hi all - Phoenix is now at Colins for the track work and I am awaiting new files from National Archives thanks to Ian Fawberts diligence. However, irrespective of where we get with Phoenix, she will be there even if we have to tek screw, cable tie and/or duct tape the tracks on. Of course, having said all that, we still have to be aware of Murphy.

Bob

Knowing Colin's capacities the track work will be complete by now.

in the next couple of weeks we are hoping to do some more work on the cab 11 so we can bring it to Corowa, at this stage it will only be cab chassi in it's natural state.

I now have 63 official vehicle entry forms and a number of entrants who are still unsure of what vehicle they are bringing to Corowa this year. I would like to encourage all participants to send in a form with a $10 entry fee as you will receive more than $10 in return. We have organised mementos and you will also receive a discount meal on the Saturday night provided by the Corowa Rotary Club. Some people are not bringing vehicles but are keen to receive the package and mementos we will be handing out.

There are currently 17 Blitz's and 3 Amphibious vehicles entered to date. I am looking forward to receiving more entry forms over then next 8 weeks.

We plan to release another Newsletter early in February so remember to take a look at the website when you have a chance. www.corowaswim-in.org
