Hi all,
For those of you who are planning on coming to the Corowa Swim-In we have received an update from Ball Park Caravan Park, it is posted up on the Corowa Swim-In website and Facebook, but also copied on here. Item 1 is information for those already booked into Ball Park, Item 2 is those who have not booked camping space yet and good news as more spaces are now available:

17-2-19 Update on Ball Park Caravan Park:

For people staying at Ball Park Caravan Park during the Corowa Swim-In please take note of the following:

1. If you are not arriving during the daytime you will need to phone the managers Anne and Peter on (02) 6033 1426 to gain an access code so you can enter through the boom gates after hours.

2. If you have not yet booked a camp site there are now more un-powered sites available. We have received an update that there are now going to be 135 un-powered sites at Ball Park rather than 80 which is going to make things better for the Swim-In. Contact the managers on (02) 6033 1426. There have been problems with their main phone line so the alternative number is 0467 760 113.

We appreciate the recognition the Federation Council have given to our event.

Don't forget, pre-registration entries close on 28th February, so enter now if you intend coming, thank you.

regards,
Richard Farrant
President - KVE Inc.
