Did you know that Lucas make vacuum cleaners now. It's the only thing they make that doesn't suck.

Seeing as he lives only a short hop from Corowa .... lets see and hope.

On Saturday 17th July we had our KVE AGM at Corowa. I will post more details shortly on the plans we have for 2011 but thought I would let you know who the Committee is for the next 12 months.

President: Rick Cove
Vice President: Tim Scriven
Treasurer: Scott Rough
Secretary: Jan Thompson
Committee members: John Wright, Sarah Bush and Euan McDonald

It is good to see a couple of new faces and thanks to Rick for taking on the Presidents job again.

We encourage MLU members to put forward suggestions and comments. Thanks to all the KVE members who attended the meeting and offered assistance.

At the boat ramp at Ball Park Caravan park they are doing major repairs to the lagoon. I took these photos as it was geting dark on Sunday night.

Hi all,
It is now 6 months until Corowa 2011. KVE have released a newsletter. This shares the most up to date information on Corowa 2011. We are still waiting on a number of people to provide more information for us and will hopefully hear from these people shortly.

If you didn't receive an email from me today it appears I don't have your email address. Please forward and I can include a number of attachments which I refer to below. The information below is what was sent to people on my database.

Within the newsletter is an invitation to the Dookie Military Vehicle Rally in October. I have also included their latest flier as an attachment. The organizer would like to make this an annual event so hopefully a few people will be able to attend this year to get the ball rolling!

I have just received some pictures and information on a Ford Truck which is for sale near Wagga Wagga. The photos and information are also attached.

I encourage you to forward this email onto other people who may be interested in attending the 2011 Corowa Swim-In. If they are not on my database ask them to forward me an email to kveinc@optusnet.com.au

It is now time to get your entry form back to pre-register for Corowa 2011.
This will give us an idea on how many people and vehicles are likely to attend and by paying your $10 entry fee you will receive mementoes and a certificate of attendance.

Hope your vehicle restorations are going well and we would like to have a large roll up of British and European vehicles. Just remember we always welcome vehicles which are not related to the 'theme'. With 180 Jeeps in 2010 we hope that we can encourage more of these people to return in 2011.

If you have any questions feel free to send me an email or give me a call.

What dates are the event in 2011 ?

[Jan Thompson]

The dates are Monday 14th to Sunday 20th March 2011. We have just released a newsletter that contains the most up to date information we have and an entry form. If you didn't receive this directly from me send me an email and I will add you to my database. kveinc@optusnet.com.au

He won't drive it that far - it will probably come on the back of his Ford truck.

I'll be seeing him again this Saturday as I'll be in Temora.
