Default 2016 Annual Corowa Swim-In & Military Vehicle Gathering

Just a heads up to let you know that the latest newsletter is available to see online at the official Swim-In website, www.corowaswim-in.org look for the November issue of KVE News.

All the latest information on our event which takes place from the 14th to 20th March at Corowa, NSW, Australia. Get your entries in now, to ensure you get a participant pack. Forms are on the website along with booking forms for the Swap Meet on 19th March at Corowa Showground. The themes will be Year of the Tank, and Year of the Chrysler, the latter includes Dodge, Fargo and any other military vehicle built under the Chrysler flag. All types of ex-military vehicles are welcome besides the themes.

Those on our database should have received the KVE News by email in recent days, anyone who thinks they should have had it, but not got it, please check your spam/junk folders or send me a PM.

A new feature on our website www.corowaswim-in.org is an event calendar for Australian military vehicles and other events where they are invited. The idea was suggested by a member of KVE, as we have links with MV clubs around the country and the website can be a portal for seeking event information. If you or your club are organising an event and would like it put on the calendar, then go to the website and below the calendar is an online form to fill all the details in.

Best regards,
Richard Farrant
KVE News editor and committee member

Thanks Richard for doing the latest KVE news and also thanks to Chris Grossett (our webmaster) for adding more information to the website. We need other clubs and Corowa Swim-In participants to forward events. Thanks also to Diana Alan for suggesting that a calendar of events for Australia should go on the KVE website.

Default Land Rover line up & BBQ - Friday 18 March at 12:15pm

Hi all
We have received the following from Ross from REMLR regarding a form up and BBQ on Friday 18th March at Rowers Park. This will commence at 12:15pm

We have a "form up" time of 1215 for 1230 start at Rowers Park. We are aiming to place the Land Rovers in groups according to their age. A "story card" pertaining to the vehicle and a list of parts for sale or wanted is encouraged to be put on the windscreen (i.e., no parts at the event). This occasion is more than just for getting Landy Love photos. Enjoy some time to have a chat. Nearly all the vehicles have interesting differences and parts. A common question is "Where'd you find that?" While that is happening the BBQ area is available for lunch and drinks. There is ample grass for children to play and facilities. All Land Rovers are encouraged to stay until 1350 and to then join the other Ex-mil Vehicles at Corowa on the next activity scheduled to commence at 1400 at Ball Park. "

Default Site office personel required

Hi all
Robert Pearce has kindly offered once again to manage the roster for the site office. The KVE Radar Van will be used once again and over the past few years a number of participants who either are or are not members of KVE have helped register the participants in. We have received positive comments from many people who have assisted in the past as it is a great place to meet other like minded enthusiasts.

We have the following times where staff are required:
Wednesday 16th March 830-11am and 3-6pm
Thursday 17th March 8:30-11am and 3-6pm
Friday 18th March 8:30-11am, 11am-1pm, 1-3pm and 3-6pm
Saturday 19th March at the Corowa Showgrounds: 8:30-9:30, 9:30-10:30, 10:30-11:30 and 11:30-12:30

To contact Robert please email: hrpearce123@bigpond.com
