Hi Steve,

Em and I are 99.9% certain we are going down sunday 7th to get the full week in. If you want, we can come pick you up somewhere whenever you get there- eg albury. We'll have both my ute and the jeep.

Also, I know of one little jeep which would be more than happy to passenger you around while your there. Its the least i could do considering the help you've given me in lifts here and there!

Cheers
Ian.

There are always people going to and from Albury so if there is anyone else requiring a lift the best thing to do is speak out.

More people are arriving the weekend before which is great but just be careful of accommodation as it is the Victorian Labour Day weekend and you might have difficulty getting a bed in town. If you do have problems contact the Corowa Tourist Information Centre directly and they will do a search for you. Their details are on our website.

OK thanks again Jan. Ian, thanks also for your kind offer, I'll keep that in mind!
Howard, my mum always told me never to hitchhike with strangers

But if it's green and ex-military, I may make an exception

The KVE AGM and General Meetings went really well on Saturday 26th September. It was a bit cold and wet but the company was good. The new committee members are:
President - Rick Cove
Vice President - Tim Scriven
Treasurer - Maureen Bell
Secretary - Jan Thompson
Committee - Euan McDonald, Keith Adam and John Wright

We have looked at the program and soon it will be published. Very similar activities to the past years with a few surprise activities.

If anyone would like to advertise any for sale/wanted ads please email them to me. If you have a story on the restoration of one of your vehicles or anything you think military vehicle enthusiasts would like to hear about send me an email.
