2013 Corowa Swim-In & Military Vehicle Gathering

Ian Pullen · #1 13-11-12, 09:44

Anyone hoping for the Swim-in to coincide with the Day on the Green festival at All Saints again will be sadly disappointed.
Paul Kelly & Neill Finn will playing at All Saints but the date is the 2nd March.

Hi all,
Just sending this on behalf of Jan, the KVE Secretary:

Encouraging new membership
There are people throughout Australia who are interested in finding a club nearby to join. There are a number of people who attend our Swim-in at Corowa who don’t belong to any clubs and they sometimes contact KVE to obtain an entry form or want to speak to someone who can assist them with a vehicle restoration. In our next KVE newsletter we would like to hear from Club committees who may like to promote their organisation to fellow collectors. If you are interested please send Jan, our Secretary details of your club including contacts so we can start and put together a list of clubs.

The contact email address is kveinc@optusnet.com.au

Thanks for the last post Richard. Being out in the country area for a week made it difficult to post messages on forums.

I recently sent off 2 Membership Applications to people wanting to join the AMVCS and with changes of Committees in clubs I would like to make sure I have the best possible contact for people who may ask me about joining a club.

We will post club information in our next KVE News which we would like to get out next week. We are also doing a Special Edition for Corowa 2013 and this may encourage people to join your club.

There has also been interest from Temora in having military vehicles present at their 2013 Airshows Downunder which will be on the first weekend in November.

After many hours of work the KVE Newsletter has been released. Thanks Richard for doing such a good job. I have emailed it to those on my database. There are a number of people who must have changed their emails so if you havent received the newsletter please send me an email kveinc@optusnet.com.au

Many thanks to Mike Cecil for his very interesting report on Trailed Equipment - The Mobile Laundry. I have had emails from people who found this report very interesting. Mike is also doing another report for the Special Edition Newsletter which will be in your participant pack if you pre-register.

I would like to thank Robert Pearce who is organising the Site Office Roster for Corowa. We are still looking for people to assist on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday. If anyone out there is able to help it would be greatly appreciated.

Many hundres of hours go into organising this event. You don't have to be a KVE member to help out so if there is anything you are willing to do to help please send me a private message or send an email to kveinc@optusnet.com.au

Help is required for the following duties at Corowa:
· Site office both during the week and people are desperately needed on Saturday while at the Showgrounds.
· Marshals for the drive from Bangerang Park to the Corowa Showgrounds
· People to help with the Auction and Presentations such as someone to write up the auction cards, people to collect the money, people to hand out the goods, spot bidders, etc. (this was left to the same few people in 2012 so we really need your help.)
· People to go around and ask participants to complete the survey forms
· People to hand out the daily newsletters.
· Setting up the site office on Sunday 10th March
· Cleaning up the site office on Sunday 17th March

if you are able to assist with any of the above please send an email to kveinc@optusnet.com.au
