Corowa 2007

[phoenix]

Yeah, I know, it's a while away, but I thought i'd stick my head up and see who might be going in 07. Year of the staff car and motorbike from memory.

I'm rather excited because i'll be traveling over on the boat this year to attend along with a couple of others from the club

[Ian Pullen]

We are planning on having a few entries for 07 from the Bandi Museum

[Jeff Gordon]

I will be comming down with my BSA M20

For those who like to plan ahead, or might possibly be travelling from overseas, this is the list of forecasted themes:

2007: Year of the Staff Car and Cycle
2008: Year of the Tracked Vehicle
2009: Year of the Amphib vehicle +CMP (30th Anniv of Corowa)
2010: Year of the Jeep

[Ian Pullen]

It's fantastic that they have announced the themes so far in advance. It gives you plenty of planning time to finish the odd job on your vehicle and organise transport if required.
Good on ya guys........

Gawd,

By 2010 petrol will be 5 bucks a litre ...... I think WW1 horse drawn wagons will be the most popular vehicles at Corowa by 2010 , you feed em hay and oats . Take 3-4 days to get there , plenty of feed along the way on the roadside .

I have some pics of the first Corowa here somewhere . I went for the first five years , then a long break . There was a VW Swim wagon thing at one of the early events . Somebody raised eyebrows by turning up in a German military police uniform and going down to the RSL for dinner !

There were races held across the lagoon in Jeep trailers , swimmers pushing them along , the NSW AMVCS beat the Vics .
In the early days , Uptons yard was a scroungers dream , not forgetting Plumbs in Wodonga .

Dates, please. After all, I DO have to get my irascible old arse down your way one of these years, if for no other reason than to teach you Ozians some manners as practiced in the CIVILIZED world...

Hi all

One hundred and seventy sleeps to go. With all this fore-planning I'll be able to design hats well in advance.

The dates for Corowa "Week" are determined by a wizened Zoroastrian Monk using an arcane method that includes referring to the phases of the moon, the entrails of a virgin chicken and multiplied by the balance of this week's beer budget.
Alternatively, Corowa is generally held in the week following the 2nd Tuesday of March. Remarkably, the second method corrolates very closely with the first!

Tony,

Something to do with it being the week following the Victorian long weekend........as as we call it, a Bank Holiday. If my memory serves me

Not THIS year, as Corowa 2007 has been declared is The "Year of the Kartmann" by (see below)

Thirdly, I hereby rename Corowa 2007 as:

THE YEAR OF THE KARTMANN
