OK thanks again Jan. Ian, thanks also for your kind offer, I'll keep that in mind!
Howard, my mum always told me never to hitchhike with strangers
But if it's green and ex-military, I may make an exception

On Saturday 26th September KVE will be holding an AGM and General Meeting at Corowa from 1pm. We will be able to inform you of the program and other details on the 31st Annual GPA Swim-In and ex-military vehicle gathering.

If all goes to plan we hope to produce another newsletter prior to the end of October. If you have any stories or For Sale/Wanted items please send me an email kveinc@optusnet.com.au

The KVE AGM and General Meetings went really well on Saturday 26th September. It was a bit cold and wet but the company was good. The new committee members are:
President - Rick Cove
Vice President - Tim Scriven
Treasurer - Maureen Bell
Secretary - Jan Thompson
Committee - Euan McDonald, Keith Adam and John Wright

We have looked at the program and soon it will be published. Very similar activities to the past years with a few surprise activities.

If anyone would like to advertise any for sale/wanted ads please email them to me. If you have a story on the restoration of one of your vehicles or anything you think military vehicle enthusiasts would like to hear about send me an email.

Jan,

Good to see the entries rolling in, with still four months to go, but still a way to go to equal the entry figure for this year.
