2013 Corowa Swim-In & Military Vehicle Gathering

[Jan Thompson]

Many thanks to Mike Cecil for his very interesting report on Trailed Equipment - The Mobile Laundry. I have had emails from people who found this report very interesting. Mike is also doing another report for the Special Edition Newsletter which will be in your participant pack if you pre-register.

I would like to thank Robert Pearce who is organising the Site Office Roster for Corowa. We are still looking for people to assist on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday. If anyone out there is able to help it would be greatly appreciated.

Many hundres of hours go into organising this event. You don't have to be a KVE member to help out so if there is anything you are willing to do to help please send me a private message or send an email to kveinc@optusnet.com.au

Help is required for the following duties at Corowa:
· Site office both during the week and people are desperately needed on Saturday while at the Showgrounds.
· Marshals for the drive from Bangerang Park to the Corowa Showgrounds
· People to help with the Auction and Presentations such as someone to write up the auction cards, people to collect the money, people to hand out the goods, spot bidders, etc. (this was left to the same few people in 2012 so we really need your help.)
· People to go around and ask participants to complete the survey forms
· People to hand out the daily newsletters.
· Setting up the site office on Sunday 10th March
· Cleaning up the site office on Sunday 17th March

if you are able to assist with any of the above please send an email to kveinc@optusnet.com.au

Thanks to those who have already pre-registered. With the number coming in at the moment I wouldnt be surprised if we get approx 250 people who pre-register. Our Special Edition KVE newsletters included with the preregistered entry packs look great and there are some very interesting stories.

If anyone is able to help out at the Site Office please let me know and also if anyone is able to assist with marshalling the vehicles on the Saturday. The Showground and Racecourse Trust have been in contact and everything is on track. Neville Smith has received some phone calls from people who are wanting to camp at the Showgrounds and also from people who want Swap Meet sites.

Those people with items for our auction please drop them at the Site Office during the week.

If anyone has any questions feel free to post on here or send me an email kveinc@optusnet.com.au

Ryan,
Where? Don't they have a Fairlane Motel?
I will be sure to catch up with you Ryan, we can talk green machines, and blue oval machine politics! I will be there Friday night and gone by Sunday lunch.
Cheers,

Hi all,
Just another reminder to those that intend coming to Corowa for this year's Annual Swim-In and Military Vehicle Gathering in March, to send your entries in to pre-register. By doing so you will receive a participant pack and special event hat for this year's themes of Year of the Trailed Equipment and Year of the Armoured Vehicle.

Just to dispell any rumours to the contary, the traditional Saturday drive will start as usual at Bangerang Park where we will assemble then proceed this year to Corowa Showground for the display and swap meet. For more information, look back in this thread or go to our website, www.corowaswim-in.org where you can download the entry form and see the last issue of KVE News, released in January.

Entries are coming in at a steady rate and it looks like this year's themes are very popular. Looking forward to meeting you all.

regards, Richard

KVE Committee member and Newsletter Editor
