War and peace show 2012

[Jan Thompson]

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.

Just been told I have to work the weekend of W & P .
(Filming "Eastenders" special)

So sorry lads, No Carrier, No Barry.

So have fun and I want to see pictures.


A very sad Barry

[Marc van Aalderen]

No excuse Sergeant, really, no excuse...

Barry, Sent your carrier with your son. We need it to get the numbers.

Cheers,

[kevin powles]

Ben.... just thinking, bring you carrier and a bag of rivets and we will button it back together

Oh, you mean like like a "how to" demo for everyone to see?

Perhaps we can set ourselves a challenge! Can we reassemble a carrier in 24 hours living only on beer and greasy dog burgers?

You bring the compressor and furnace down on the train and I'll sort the rest..........or perhaps we can leave our carriers at home and just ask (bribe with beer) the others for a quick go in theirs.

I'm just hoping for some sun. I've heard it's either dusty or muddy.
