Corowa 2010 - Year of the Jeep

[Jan Thompson]

Thanks for your report Tony. It looks like the event should be renamed "Year of the Breakdown". I enjoyed the ride on Thursday in your Blitz and after a few driving lessons with Keith Webb during the week you must have learnt a few things about gear changes. The photos Andrew McIntosh took of your Blitz in the mud holes look great. Do you have copies of these?

No Jan Ive havent got anything,

Andrew did say to leave my details with you. Im sure youve got them but I'll send you a PM.

Is it possible to get the sections he filmed as well, on a DVD perhaps??

Thanks for such a quick reply. Are you at work today???

I have the vision Andrew shot of you in the puddle by the bridge, as well as the very muddy one by the river we visited on Wednesday.

I have started my newsletter report and would like a few people to give me reports on activities they attended during the event. Examples include, the trip to Chiltern, Lang Kidby's talk, Visit to the Aged Care facility on Wednesday, trip to Maurice Wilson's property on Thursday, the parade on Saturday, items purchased or found at the Swap Meet, Auction and Presentations etc. It is always good to incorporate different peoples perspectives on the event.
