2013 Corowa Swim-In & Military Vehicle Gathering

[Richard Farrant]

Hi all,
As those of you who attend Corowa Swim-In will know, the Site Office for KVE during the week, is an office trailer loaned from the Shire Council. It has been our wish to have something of our own, which we can also store the display boards, tables and chairs, etc. in, instead of having to move them to storage in Corowa every year.

We have struck lucky and have now got a WW2 Canadian built Radar Trailer, which at present is up near Lithgow. This is where we are now asking for a little help from our loyal followers of the Annual Swim-In. Before we can move the trailer we are in need of some tyres for it, so if anyone can donate 7.50-20 tyres and tubes, we would be very grateful, we need 8 in total. With the event looming in a couple of weeks time, we are hoping that any suitable tyres could be brought to Corowa and one of the KVE members has offered to transport them back to Sydney.

The trailer will be taken to Sydney once the tyres are fitted and be repaired and tidied up then painted, we are looking for help with other things, such as paint, etc. Anyone in the Sydney area who might be able to assist with their help or assistance will be welcomed. Please talk to Jan or any of the KVE Committee about this, we hope to have some photos of the trailer on display at the Site Office for you to see.

It will make a unique focal point for KVE at the event and eventually it can be fitted out with desk and filing cabinets, etc.

If you would prefer to email KVE about assisting, please send to kveinc@optusnet.com.au

regards,
Richard Farrant
KVE Committee member

I'm planning to drive up early Thursday AM so will see you there.

Hopefully the DVD for 2012, Year of the 6X6 will be available from the beginning of the week via the office. It went to the duplicators on Friday.

I am planning to shoot another exciting Corowa, this one should be a beaut with so many unusual and interesting things, including the SC1 and of course plenty of trailers.

Next year (Year of the FORD and WW1 vehicle) I am hoping to be there as a participant rather than a film maker, the first time since 2002! So if you see yourselves as budding camera people for 2014 please speak to me this year.
