Hi all,
I have just joined this forum so I can provide you with some up to date news on the Corowa Swim-In. Some of you may be on the KVE database so would have just received our latest newsletter. If you would like me to add you to the database so you receive updates on the Corowa event and any other things that get sent my way such as future events, for sale, wanted ads etc please forward an email to kveinc@optusnet.com.au
We will be using the Corowa Showgrounds and racecourse as our secondary site in 2013 and i have some improtant information which KVE wants you to be aware of if you are intereted in staying at the Showgrounds:
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PARTICIPANTS
For those of you coming to Corowa with armour, vehicles and transporters, we have camping available at Corowa Showground.
KVE have definitely secured camping from Thursday 14th to Sunday 17th March, however we have been given approval by the Trust that manages these facilities that if needed, we can book from Monday 11th to Monday 18th March.
The reason for this is that KVE will be charged $200 per day. As can be seen, to make it viable we need to know straight away as to how many of you are interested in using the site from Monday or anytime onwards.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING
The camping fee per person, per day will be $10 each.
There are showers and toilets on site.
You will have to make sure you remove your own rubbish.
You will have to abide by any rules and regulations set by the Trust.
The Rotary Club may be able to organise meals on a couple of days during the week, subject to prior demand.
No dogs are permitted at this facility, see advertisement in this newsletter for local kennels.
Double the amount of undercover area is now available for the swapmeet.
Please contact Neville as soon as possible:
Neville Smith (KVE Vice President) on 0429 350 569
kveinc@optusnet.com.au
Please let Neville know what days you expect to be at the Showground and how many persons coming with your entry.
As you can see, the only way to plan this is to know how many people would like to use the site and when they will arrive.
Prompt responses to using the facilities will give us a good estimate of how viable it would be to hire the site from Monday onwards, or whether to do it from Thursday onwards.
Bindaree Motel and Caravan Park are also able to offer reasonably priced camping.
KVE is a volunteer group and many of our Committee members have been working hard in the last few months to make this next event a good one, but one thing is lacking, that is knowing how many partici-pants and vehicles are going to enter and what their needs are, so please help us to help you.
The Showground was first used last year for Saturday’s activities, and the overwhelming
response to the venue was excellent, so please give it a go.
The theme for 2013 is Year of the Trailed Equipment and Armoured Vehicle.
