The Jump Shak is open as usual.
Quote:
Correct Diana, I was just about to add a post to that affect. Corowa Swim-In attendees, please continue to support the Jump Shak as you have done in the past. Tabitha and Tim will have the good food as usual. It is unfortunate that the weather has caused a few problems for us all. Camping is arranged for those who have to move from the Airport at the Bindaree Caravan Park, 454 Honour Ave. Corowa. This park is opposite the Sale Yards and just past the New Bridge on the road to Albury. Come along and have fun!! BTW: Tim's Dukw may not be attending due to a sad and unfortunate happening to a member of one of his employees families. Our thoughts are with them. See you there, Rick. President KVE Inc.

I have spoken to Tabitha this afternoon and she is really looking forward to people attending the Spit Roast dinner on Friday night. $18 per head for Adults and $10 per head for children. The list is expanding and I do hope MLU members will support her by attending this function. You must book in by Wednesday evening and it is up to you to contact her. Her phone number is 0415 704748 and email is tab75@bigpond.com
You are welcome to wear fancy dress and the meal will be served at 6.45. It will be helpful if you can bring your own table and chairs. There will be a parade briefing at approximately 7.30pm prior to John Belfield giving a talk.

Hello All,
I've been following the Wet Corowa airport posts and have to ask, In one post it says the airport is out of bounds cause its to wet, in another post support the jump shak, might be clear to some but how can we if the airport is out of bounds?. Not been negative just want to know. My question is, we know some groups in Corowa have been trying to stop camping at the airport, Its been on the cards for a couple of years, is this an easy way out for them, it seems odd that another group has unpowered sites already available for us. conspiracy theory!, i hope i'm wrong. It wont be the same not been at the strip!. I will be very interested to see how wet the airport really is.

Justin,
The Shire of Corowa, who I might add support the Corowa Swim-In wholeheartedly, wrote to KVE Inc. (who are just a volunteer group of people trying to gve all ex-military people a good time), on the 8th March and advised that, because of the waterlogged surface to the Airport, for this year only the Airport is closed to camping and to the Swap Meet and Display day. The Airport is not closed to usual airport business. The Jump Shak is a seperate concern. It is run by Tabitha and Tim who make us all most welcome. KVE Inc. asks you to support them as in the past as it is not their fault the weather has caused this problem. KVE Inc has arranged, with the help of the Corowa Shire, alternative camping arrangements to suit everyone concerned. There are few alternative places available where you can be close to your vehicle either soft skin or armoured. Bindaree Caravan has been seen as the best alternative for this year. Bindaree Caravan Park did not had sites available as you say, but with the Shires help they have made an area available to suit us. The Caravan park is close to the Stock Yards and it is there that we may have to hold the Display Day and Swap Meet. There are no secret deals going on as has been suggested by a few protaganists, Bindaree Caravan park owners were not even aware until 8.30 at night on the 8th March that there was a problem and they have bent over backwards to help KVE Inc. to obtain a satisfactory result for all concerned. Please remember KVE Inc is run by volunteers who have lost a lot of sleep over this issue but have done the best to help all concerned. We will be back at the Airport next year, weather permitting. so please be patient and enjoy "The Year of the 6X6". Rick Cove President KVE Inc.
