Blame the Mexican's. The week always starts on the Monday of the Victorian Long Weekend. We have around 130 pre-registered entries at the moment. I wonder how many we will end up with?

Hello all,

I am inviting you all to join me for dinner, and Jan, Rick, & Tim, and Richard (who is taking a short flight out from the old country...) at the the Old Empire Hotel and is just over the bridge in Wahgunyah.

You may all recall last year's dinner was on the Friday. Jan suggested we move it to Thursday, so there is no pressure on KVE'ers or MLU'ers. So I booked for Thursday. It will be in the beer garden at the rear of the pub.

Last year it was about $20 per head for dinner, so I expect the prices to be about the same. Jan will be there with two mobiles to each ear, which will be amusing as ever. And for those who didn't attend last year, its a short stagger

from Ball park across the bridge & over the border into Victoria to the pub ensures that you are out of New South Wales.

*** COULD you Respond to my email: shedman_33@yahoo.com ...if you wish to attend or not so I can get numbers. Thanks ***

Ian

REMEMBER Dinner. Empire Hotel, Wahgunyah, Thursday 17th March at 7:00PM

I am looking forward to getting to Corowa which will/may/could be a pleasant 35 miles per hour in my Land-Rover. Well its 4 MPH faster than a Blitz.

Regards,

Ian

Let's hope the rain stops by then. The Autofest held at the end of February has been cancelled this year.
The Jump Shak at Corowa Airport was flooded last week. Tim Scriven might be able to give us further details on this.

Take a look at this weather forecast for Corowa, next week, looks really promising. Can't help thinking the Autofest organisers have been a bit hasty. Lets hope the awful weather is on the way out now.

So what part of no dogs at the airport did people not understand?

I just got home from Corowa you could have landed a Catalina on the strip yesterday with the wheels up. It poured up there Saturday and they have had the wettest Febuary on record. The usual vehicle assembly spot at the airfield had 100mm of water over it. Sure hope it dries up before the big event.

You mean one 'o these?

Crikey that's wet! Still, it means plenty of fun in the mud for those who enjoy that sort of spectacle.
