Ryan,
Where? Don't they have a Fairlane Motel?
I will be sure to catch up with you Ryan, we can talk green machines, and blue oval machine politics! I will be there Friday night and gone by Sunday lunch.
Cheers,

Hi all,
Just another reminder to those that intend coming to Corowa for this year's Annual Swim-In and Military Vehicle Gathering in March, to send your entries in to pre-register. By doing so you will receive a participant pack and special event hat for this year's themes of Year of the Trailed Equipment and Year of the Armoured Vehicle.

Just to dispell any rumours to the contary, the traditional Saturday drive will start as usual at Bangerang Park where we will assemble then proceed this year to Corowa Showground for the display and swap meet. For more information, look back in this thread or go to our website, www.corowaswim-in.org where you can download the entry form and see the last issue of KVE News, released in January.

Entries are coming in at a steady rate and it looks like this year's themes are very popular. Looking forward to meeting you all.

regards, Richard

We have close to 200 preregistered participants now for Corowa. Just a reminder to those who havent sent their forms in to get them in by 28th February so you get one of our great packs. YOU DONT HAVE TO BE BRINGING A VEHICLE TO PREREGISTER!

There are a number of MLU people I know will be attending who havent sent in their entries yet.

I visited Corowa today and checked the area out.
The river is up and flowing, the boat ramp and grassed area by the caravan park is mowed and clean. You can launch boats from the ramp and move out to the main river area with no problems.
The ground is dry.
Check out my pics to give you an idea.
The bakery was also very good....
