I received notification this evening from the Editor of Just Trucks and Just Heavy Equipment Magazine that he has written a 2 page story for the July edition on our Corowa event this year.
The June editions of Jeep Action Australia and Truckin Life had articles and photos of the event also.

Ben Hemmings has added a couple of documents to the corowaswim-in website. We will put together some information on KVE and put more links on soon. Is there anyone who wants to be linked to www.corowaswim-in.org ? Please provide your details.

Jan, can we add a link to REMLR ?

Hi Richard,
That won't be a problem. I will forward this on to Ben Hemmings.

On Saturday 12th July KVE had an AGM at Corowa. I would like to inform people of a few things that occurred.
The new committee is as follows:
President: Rick Cove
Vice President: Tim Scriven
Treasurer: Maureen Bell
Secretary: Jan Thompson
3 Committee members: Ian Pullen, Alex McPherson and Euan McDonald

It was good to see a few members and visitors at the meeting.
Ben Hemmings will be updating the website: www.corowaswim-in.org shortly. For people or organisations who want to be linked to the website please let us know.

On Sunday we had a meeting with representatives from the town at 11am. We provided them with out program of events and some requests for assistance. They also offered assistance to our event in 2009. We are celebrating 30 years of Corowa and they are having their 150th birthday celebrations so it will be a big year.

It is very important that people preregister for this event and an updated Entry Form will be available on the website and distributed to clubs and people on our data base shortly.

Membership to KVE is $30 per year and if anyone wants to join please send me an email for further details.

Further details will be on this forum and our website.

As many have now discovered, I am no longer holding an executive position on the KVE committee.

This is mostly due to the fact that I cannot dedicate the time to the task as president therefore making it unfair for the rest of the committee as they were left to take up the shortfall.

As the months of March and April are by far the busiest months of the Museum, I found that I had to give my time to that organisation over KVE. Hence leaving the rest of the committee in limbo as to when I could attend KVE functions.

I will remain in a position on the committee where I can still act in a liaison capacity in preparation to the actual street parade and other local functions.

I give the new committee make up best wishes for the upcoming event and know that with the current blend of experience and dedication, it will advance to levels where I could not even dream of being able to steer it to.

Here's to an absolutely awesome event next year.
