War and peace show 2012

If no one at MLU has a problem, i would like to get a sign made up for "The Carrier Forum" if we are to have a lot of carriers on the pitch from the forum. The pitch i have at the W&P show is very prominent and seeing as we are going to have a good show of carriers it would be good to promote the forum. Your views please !

I'll be there (no carrier) I think it's a good idea to get all the carriers in one place even if it's only for a photo. Shauns pitch makes sense as it's pretty central.

With any luck I'd like to have the cast bits ready to distribute by then.

Gentlemen.
Good to hear your all revving to go. I'm doing A & E in June ( thats a hard weekend 22 mile drive) if all goes well at that then I will be there Friday, Sat & Sun.

(Just got back from Queens DJ Festival in Hyde Park, London. Having choreographed a musical drive with lots of ferrets. All went amazingly well.
Only got one rehearsal then two performances in front of 50,000 people )

Barry ,
Well done on the parade with the Ferrets. A&E will be a walk in the park for you. 22 miles is a mere trip to the pub in a carrier !
See you at W&P

Hopefully all the MLU people will drop by and see Richard Farrant who will be promoting Australias Largest gathering of military vehicles. Richard is now on our Khaki Vehicle Enthusiasts Committee. We are trying to encourage people from throughout the world to visit Corowa in March so we have designed a special edition KVE newsletter for Beltring. If you see Richard he will gladly give you a copy. He will have a few signs up with past promotion and will also have past Corowa DVD's for sale.

The largest gathering of vehicles was 266 in 2010 when our theme was Year of the Jeep. Each year we end up with a number of overseas guests and if you are interested in attending we would lke to hear from you. We can help advise you on details such as accomodation, places to visit, the program and any other questions you may have. Take a look at our website: www.corowaswim-in.org and read up on past reports and information related to our next event.

If you would like to be included on our database please send an email to: kveinc@optusnet.com.au

There will be a number of Aussies visiting Beltring and they are always impressed with the event and how welcoming everyone is. We would like to reciprocate. John Belfield who owned the Melbourne Tank Museum is looking forward to attending again this year. He had such a great time last year he couldn't wait to go back. He was our guest speaker at Corowa this year and it was facinating to hear about his interest in military vehicles and motor racing. You won't believe it but he turned 80 last year.

Apologies if this is getting off subject of the thread, but it is titled War & Peace show 2012.

As Jan has explained in the previous post, I am promoting the annual Corowa military vehicle gathering in Australia, at War & Peace show this year, we, the organisers of the event, have produced a special edition newsletter all about the event, reports from this year's one, photos of vehicles that have attended in recent years and tourist information, etc. Anyone who is planning on going to Australia for a holiday could consider including it in their itinerary.

I will be found in America Field during the W&P show, with Corowa display boards, beside my Bedford QL, if not around, please give me a ring on the mobile number displayed there and we can meet up for a chat about the event.
