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!

The event also clashes with duck opening for us Mexicans so wear your tin hat.

I don't know, Robert. I suppose it is just because I am much younger than I look...

News of Corowa must be spreading, came across this Greek 4x4 site:

http://to4x4.gr/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=5262

I went to the trouble of translating some of the comments, not very comprehensible I am afraid, but I did get the gist of this one;
"The videos amazing, but cause us melancholy compared with the here situation"

Guess they appreciate it as much as we do.
Rich.

Hi Keith

Some of them are the trailers of your videos I put on youtube to push your video sales over here. Some were already sold to Greece

Probably our Greek Member Kostas can translate all the Greek words

Or here a probably poor google translation.

Greetings
Chris

PS If any European MLUer wants some of Keith's fantastic Corowa DVDs get in touch with me. I got them in stock.

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.
