Still waiting on Tom Jones and David Campbell to get back to us. I hope the KVE newsletter was forwarded on to them from the Corowa Tourist Information Centre. i wonder if anyone else has any ways to lure these guys?

There will be CMPs there amongst the Jeeps - what Welsh singer could resist that wonderful lure? I hope you offered him a ride in one. I can just see it now - Tom Jones travelling around Ball Park standing in the hatch of a blitz singing his lungs out!

Default More Sir Tom

It's not unusual to love a CMP
It's not unusual to have fun with a CMP
but when I see one scrapped by anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry,
oh I wanna' die

Yes, Jan. Whilst Sir Tom hasn't said that he won't be there, we live in hope.

Default Corowa dinner

Hi All,

I am looking at organizing a Dinner at (a) Pub Friday night in Town (Details to be advised).

(Plan A)
7:00pm sit-down, staggering distance from Ball caravan park.

PM Me directly if you are interested NO LATER THAN MARCH 5. I will get the menu tomorrow & put it up on here too. That way you fussy people can get to know what you can & cant have.

I am aware some like to camp at the aerodrome, but it would be nice to see people & have a nice dinner chat before the parade on Saturday

There will be no organized dinner on Saturday night by KVE before the auction & presentation, so this might be your only chance to say hello.
