Omva Milton 2017

Oh well, thanks for the info.

I guess it will be porcelain camping then this time. I will observe and make notes for 2018 and be better prepared then.

Terry, you asked (by PM) if I will be bringing anything, well that depends if anything is delivered, can't very well bring it if I don't have it on hand, know what I mean?

Hope to see familiar faces at the event, it has been a rough year so far.

Looks like another good year.

I have available (likely) an M-38, BSA MC, TRW MC, and a mule If you have room for them.

With just about three weeks to go, please contact me if you are planning to attend with a vehicle(s) to display. We will try to have pre-printed name tags for those who reply to this post. Vehicle details such as year, make & model will help. Whether or not your vehicle is licensed for road use, appropriate vehicle insurance is required.

For those who plan to be there on Saturday September 2nd, either with or without a vehicle, there will be a complimentary BBQ for OMVA members. Again, please let us know if you're going to be there so we can ensure there is enough food for all.

Each day, there will be a combined steam & military vehicle parade. On Saturday the 2nd, we will try to have a military vehicle only parade and again, having vehicle info in advance will help.

If you have any other questions, please ask. Please contact us at omva.cmp@gmail.com

Cheers, Terry.

The Military Vehicle Parade has been scheduled for 1:30pm on Saturday (2nd).

The folks who actually organise the Steam Era event, are looking for volunteers to help out. Specifically we have been asked if any of our members can help with manning the "service gate" which is where vehicles and event participants enter/leave the facility. The shifts are 2 hour blocks and basically run from 08:00 to 20:00‎ (Friday to Sunday) and 08:00 to 16:00 on Monday. If you can help out with this, please let us know.

Cheers, Terry.

To pay something back to this hobby I will be bringing my stencil cutting machine with me and as long as stock of file card material is around I will happily make stencils for folks who drop by.

I know a few of you wanted stencils cut a few years back, like Barry Churcher and never got them, so here is your chance.

File folder card stock is ideal, I will bring some but it may not last so bring some as well. I won't be doing brass shim stock as that usually ends in a mess.

I wont be charging, just be patient. Its 1"size from memory. It is an effort to bring out but useful for tire pressure markings and personal kit marking.

I had a great time at Milton. I want to thank Terry Witiuk for putting on a demo of rope splicing and Robin Craig for his demo on rope twinning. The second photo is of Les' first attempt.
