Corowa 2010 updates
For those of you who are not on the KVE database you can check on updates for Corowa 2010 by going to the website. www.corowaswim-in.org
The site is being modified regularly. A copy of the 4th Newlsetter has been posted and contains the most up to date information. There are now 96 pre-registered entries and the majority of vehicles are Jeeps. There has also been lots of interest from overseas. Don't forget to send your entry to me prior to the end of February. Feel free to forward me your contact details so I can email you directly any updates in the future.

Good to see the entries rolling in, with still four months to go, but still a way to go to equal the entry figure for this year.

Wager
Gentlemen, Jeeps would be amongst the most numerous and easiest of vehicles to get to Corowa, and with only a few months to go what say we make things a little interesting.
Who's interested in a little side wager as to how many Jeeps (any variant, any condition) get there???? I start with an even 50

Out of 101 Pre-registered entries I have 65 Jeeps. Yesterday 4 entries arrived and all were Jeeps. If you don't want to miss out on some great memorabilia please forward your Entry Forms ASAP. I am going to predict there will be around 200 Jeeps.

So, if you can get around 200 jeeps entered, there could be another 50+ other military vehicles, going by previous years, with Blitz, Carries, Land Rovers and a few tanks, etc. It could be a big turnout. Best of luck.
