Mike Edwards RIP
Hi all - for several years Ada & I used Mike's tent for our base of operations. We had great fun with him and his late father Graham. We said goodbye to Mike on Sunday morning and said see you next year. We are devastated at the news of the loss of such a popular and colourful man.
RIP Mike  Ada & Bob

I am still waiting on final details of the funeral arrangements for Mike Edwards. It is possible that it may be a private funeral for family. Peter McNeill shared the attached photo of Mike.

Total Vehicle list is 183
I have just made an adjustment to the vehicle list as I was told Bernie Brooks had a Dodge Command Car at Corowa this year. One thing which is irritating is that people have arrived at Corowa without their vehicle and have put it on the attendance list. The other thing I have noticed by looking through my photos and photos on forums is that there are people who don't come and Enter their vehicle so in the future KVE would prefer people to preregister or if they turn up without preregistering come over and add their details to the attendance list.
This official vehicle attendance list is now 183. I will post the trailed items list shotly.

Thanks Jan, that could mean that there was one trailer for each 2.23 vehicles. But, there were 5 vehicles towing 2 trailers, 3 gun tractors with limber and 25pdr. gun, one Jeep with 2 Jeep trailers and one ex-Norforce Toyota troopy with 2 trailers, so the equation comes down to a trailer on every 2.37 vehicles.
The ultra rare Ford S1. Scout Car was a sight to see. One of only 2 known to exist. (not a clear photo as it was nearly dark.) What a great theme 2013 had.
