I was very sorry to hear about Charlie's accident when we were at the swapmeet, and others taken into hospital. Just received news about the other accident that happened on the way back from Corowa and saddened to hear of it after a wonderful week down there.
regards, Richard

Vale Mike Edwards
The participant that was killed on his way home when his vehicle apparently blew a tyre and rolled over a couple of times was well known VMVC member 57yo Mike Edwards of Victoria.
Information to hand is that Mike was travelling between Corowa and Yarrawonga in his Landrover and trailer when the accident occurred. It appears that no other vehicle was involved. Mike was a regular attender at Corowa and enjoyed it very much, arriving days before the official start and staying on after the event. His large, rigid frame tent with boxes of bits and pieces for sale on the grass out front was like a drop-in centre for many of us. Mike and his father Graham who passed away 18 months or so ago are a tremendous loss to the Victorian HMV scene. David

Mike Edwards RIP
Hi all - for several years Ada & I used Mike's tent for our base of operations. We had great fun with him and his late father Graham. We said goodbye to Mike on Sunday morning and said see you next year. We are devastated at the news of the loss of such a popular and colourful man.
RIP Mike  Ada & Bob

I am still waiting on final details of the funeral arrangements for Mike Edwards. It is possible that it may be a private funeral for family. Peter McNeill shared the attached photo of Mike.
