The next KVE newsletter will be out at the end of January. If anyone has anything to contribute please forward to me by 20th January. If you have any For Sale or Wanted advertisements here is your chance to advertise. Just think Corowa is only 2 months away so you might be able to organise an exchange of goods at Corowa.

We are also planning to include a section on Upcoming Events. If you have details of an event occurring during the year please provide me with details to include in our newsletter.

We are also after stories on past events and vehicle restorations.

My email is kveinc@optusnet.com.au

I now have 153 pre-registered participants. Numbers are increasing daily. Thanks to those who have sent in their forms. It makes it easier if we can have your details. If you don't pre-register you won't receive a completed certificate or the mementoes. Rick is currently designing the metal badge for 2010. I am sure it will look great.

We now have 95 pre-registered Jeeps and the breakdown is 47 Ford and 48 Willys. I am still predicting approx 200 Jeeps. We always get approx 50 vehicles who turn up without pre-registering and they always wish they had sent in their Entry.

The next KVE newsletter will be out very soon. If you have anything to contribute including For Sale and Wanted items they need to be with me by Wednesday 20th January. I currently have some very interesting reports and contributions from people throughout the world.

With 7 weeks to go remember to get your Entry Form in ASAP.

The latest KVE newsletter is out.

The numbers of vehicles are increasing daily and I now have 176 preregistered participants. There must be at least 110 Jeeps. Fortunately we also have a few other vehicles registered too. These include a number of Motorcycles, Blitz's, Mack Truck, Dodges, Land Rovers, Studebakers, Chevs, Mokes, Kaiser Wrecker, Unimogs etc.

I have had discussions with people who may be driving their vehicles from Western Australia and North Queensland. We do have an award for the longest distance driven in a military vehicle which makes it to Corowa. There might be a few contenders for this in 2010.

I have posted off some packages to the Tourist Information Centres at Corowa and Chiltern so we are bound to get some good publicity again this year.

Hope you have sent your Entry Form in or are planning to shortly so you will receive our package with mementoes.

If you have any questions feel free to ask here or send me a private email.
Six weeks to go and we will all be able to catch up.

The Corowa Swim-in website now has reports going back to 1980. Lots of interesting reading. We have also added to the section about who can attend this event.

The latest count of pre-registered participants is 194. I have just had a look at the metal badge for 2010 and it looks great. if you pre-register you will receive one of these in your pack. There are currently 119 Jeeps.

Not many sleeps left!
