Re: 2014 Cowra Nationals - NEWS
The weather is on the improve in SA, so that should move east.
I'm betting on a dry Nationals, weather wise at least.

Fri partly cloudy overnight 6 daytime 18

and
Sun shower or two developing overnight 2 daytime 16 light winds from the sou' south west tending to light winds from the sou' south east.
I hope they've got warm water for bucket washing - blasted hoses might be solid..

Those temperatures aren't too bad. I'm sure it was colder in Wangaratta last year. I think some of the mornings there were 0 degrees
Re: 2014 Cowra Nationals - NEWS
yeah thommo it seems what ever you get there we get a few days later
rosco there's public toilets there plus as mentioned McDonalds across the road and the tourist info centre and another small food shop there, remember if you want to kill time go into the tourist info centre and see the hologram about the cowra breakout, the breakout of POW prisoners from a POW camp at cowra

Mick - that's been extremely high on our Cowra agenda since this nats were announced....
We've got a hidden agenda here.....
At Darwin - in the aviation museum, we got real up and close personal to a Japanese pilot who flew in the Pearl Harbour, Midway and Darwin attacks .... all in the one Mitsubishi aeroplane.... the remains of which were found in New Guinea and on display in the museum....... he was taken POW and ended up in Cowra..... and found opportunity to pay the ultimate price to his Emporer...
I have a final "chapter" to write into my personal history on this... I'm just hoping his war record is revealed....

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Just remember that there is no such thing as bad weather, just a bad choice in clothing.
