Willys V Ford Cricket Match

Friday 18th 4pm

In the interests of entertainment and all things good
I am organising a Big Bash cricket match at the Corowa Oval (Next to Ball Park) on Friday the 18th from 4pm untill around 6pm.

The winners will have their team name engraved onto a WW2 water flask containing the sacred ashes of a Jeep Manual.

Non-jeepers, cricket novices and specators are more than welcome.

See the attached file and I hope to see a few of you there!

Thanks Chris.

Just a little reminder that on Friday evening at the Corowa Jump shak from 6.30 is the Gourmet BBQ. Following the meal will be a parade briefing at 7.30 and then we now have 2 guest speakers. The first will be Mike Stallwood from the UK giving a talk on his purchase of 16 Stuart Tanks followed by a talk by hugh Davis and Alan Carpenter on the trip from Qld to Alice Springs in 2010.

Hi Jan,
No problem,
The match will be done and dusted (with the Willys team victorious)
by 6pm so ppl can go to both or whatever.

I'll be heading through there tomorrow on my way to corowa. Hmm. Might be a bit late though to bump into anyone. I'll keep my eye out for Blitz's.

These are frame grabs from the video I have shot.


Not sure what the official number was but it was somewhere in the vicinity of 192 vehicles all up.



The event was not without it's share of fun - here's a pic of the Mack in deep.



And a Landrover.



This Dodge had an unfortunate incident in a large stretch of water when the fan turned into a propeller and went into the radiator.



Even the British tracked carrier needed a tow start, with Richard's trusty Humber flexing it's muscles.



A crowd favourite was Jack and Jake Neville's freshly restored Marmon-Herrington No3A artillery tractor with limber and 25 pounder.
