Default Corowa Shire Grant

Corowa Grant
We have just received some great news from the Corowa Shire saying we were successful with our application for a Tourism Event Grant. We had to apply for specific items and with this grant we are doing the following:
• We will have the Site Office at Ball Park and the Cherry picker for the Saturday photo shoot.
• A daily newsletter will be provided for participants from Tuesday to Saturday. This will be printed at the Corowa Civic Centre at 4pm and be available for participants from 5pm at the Site Office. This will provide important information on the program and will focus on activities for the following day.
• A cap
• A coffee mug
• Folders for rally packs
Make sure you get your entry in by 29th February to be considered as a pre-registered participant. With every $15 entry you will receive one rally pack, 1 mug and 1 cap.

I have been contacted by the local Corowa Free Press and they will be doing a story on our event in their first newspaper for 2012. I would appreciate some comments from people which I will copy and forward to the editor. Positive comments related to the event and the town will help us gain further support in the future. The Corowa Shire is very aware of how much our event brings to the town. These will need to be either posted on this forum or emailed to me kveinc@optusnet.com.au

Default Dinner at the ROYAL HOTEL Thursday the 15th of March (COROWA)

Hi All,

Jan does a lot of work at the Swim In but she has a lot of jobs...In recent years I have organised a dinner at the pub to meet people we talk to all year but often through the WWW.

For anyone attending the Annual Swim-in at Corowa in March:
I have booked dinner at the ROYAL Hotel in Corowa for Thursday the 15th of March at 6:30 PM.

You are most welcome to attend & we can get to see everyone & talk about all things known to man especially CMP/Blitz's.

Last year I managed to meet a few more folks, and have a great evening.

Could you please PM or email me with numbers (I will check both email & PM's before I leave for Corowa) if you want to attend so I can give you a place setting. I have booked for 50 as last year 40 was not enough.

We are working on a few lucky door prizes as well.

Thanks

Ian Williams

Thanks Ian for organising this function. The reason for changing venues was mainly due to the size of room we now require. Neville Smith, one of our KVE members who lives near Corowa has been going around local businesses to see if they will give us discounts on meals, fuel, food etc. He received a positive response from the Royal Hotel and a negative one from the Wahgunyah Hotel. It is nice to be able to support the businesses who appreciate our visit to town.

The Corowa Shire has provided us with a book of Discount Coupons and Neville has approached other businesses who weren't included in the book. If you are one of the first 250 to pre-register you will receive a copy of the discount coupon book and other vouchers.

The last KVE newsletter prior to the event has been released. If you have not received a copy emailed from me and would like a copy send me an email Richard Farrant spent many hours working on the newsletter to ensure it is one of the best!

I had a computer crash over Christmas which meant I lost 2 months worth of emails and contacts. If you haven't heard from me it might be due to the crash so send me an email.

Default Corowa 17 Mar 2012

Just a reminder for those whoare attending Corowa this year. The annual Day on the Green concert at All Saints in Rutherglen will be coinciding with this years swim-in. To be honest, it looks like this will be the case from now on.
This years artists are:
Noiseworks;
Ian Moss;
Choirboys;
Darryl Braithewaite; and
Ross Wilson.
Looks to be a great event with plenty of great Australian 80's rock music.
The flip side will be accommodation & traffic.
If you haven't booked your accommodation yet, do it now or it might be too late.
As I said. This event coinciding with the swim-in may become the norm..... Obviously All Saints realise that they need to tie in with the swim-in to ensure they can get the crowds.
Having said that, I can see an opportunity for the future & even with promoting the event possibly.

Yes Ian, the Holgates have missed a couple of Saturday Nights at Ball Park, being just across the river... I think the timing is unfortunate... I would rather go to the DOTG concert maybe the Saturday BEFORE our swim-in. Maybe that would encourage more people to stay for the week!
And, you are right, This year's concert will be a cracker for us older bastards!

Mate, not so much of that. I just happen to fall into that age category. I'm really still only 25 but I just look a (little) bit older.
