"I have to say though i was disappointed at whoever organised the group photo in shadows and bushes..."
Well I am sorry and apologise. Things fell apart. One or two attempts to access the property were arranged during the week. We did succeed in a reccy from the road but only the paddock fronting the road was seen. No trees out front... but no hill either.
The location was moved about 11am that morning to the back of the home (during a phone call) when it was offered to our group because there was a small rise was back there. The only rising ground on that property.
12 to 15 Landys at least were down the end of the 3km track to the river for an earlier social by KVE and despite efforts by Steven to go down there and round them up, to ask them to come to the lineup, only three or four joined in; most just drove by and back to Corowa for a coldie as it was not their club thing. While we waited the Stolly trampled attempts to park up - but sadly he didn't run over the two saplings. We had just arrived back in Corowa after the Blighty Run and had just driven in a small convoy after dropping trailers.
Next year is the YOTLR at Corowa and it would be good to get some ideas flowing for a social and a convoy somewhere at a minimum (like the Blighty Run). LR through the years photos display? Greatest Oil Leak Tall stories? So you think you know your part numbers trivia comp?
...Any ideas for 2017 out there? Anyone want to step up and organise something?
Hi Ross,
Firstly, we all really appreciate your efforts, keep going.......
Couple of things, I think REMLR got overrun by KVE in changing the photo location, under the bridge as per previous years is best, I talked to people who went there to be in the photo and no one was there. We wont let KVE over run REMLR again.
The Blighty run is DEFINITELY on next year, we should open it up to all Land Rovers (and only Land Rovers)
The guy in the Alvis, extremely disappointing, more disappointing that a KVE committee member was encouraging him to do another "Lap" when I was on the "mound" trying to take photos of the Land Rovers , that person was yelling at me to get out of the way, (I left immediately as experience tells me to leave and not escalate the situation, if you know what I mean - comes with age!) this is the person that made us go to that spot in the first place! exceptionally rude! and worth mentioning for their next general meeting. I am pondering about formalising my complaint.
Apart from that I love the event and the people, and I love stirring up the J#$P owners!
can't wait for next year
