THIS IS THE FALL RALLY, NOT SPRING.......
The FALL version of Camp Delta is the second largest annual MV swap meet and show in the West, again hosted by the Military Vehicle Collectors of California this September. Location is the Stockton Delta KOA at Tower Park Resort, six miles west of I-5 on State Route 12. For pro and amateur vendors this is a low cost event - FREE except for your paid campsite through KOA! NO admission charge, NO MV registration fee, NO parking fee, and NO SNIVELLING! Vendors must rent campsites. Large, mostly shady, grassy, full-hookup sites, dry camping option, plus KOA Kabins. Unlike at the April event, plenty of good campsites are available. Join us Friday night for the "South Seas Luau!" Break out your aloha shirts, mumus, khakis, and HBTs. Military watercraft are invited, in or out of the water. Recognition for Longest Distance Driving a MV, Longest Distance Transporting a MV, and Hard Luck Award getting to or during the event. Spud Gun Shoot on Friday, bring air-powered guns only. Friday is Uniform Day (as is every day!). MVCC Meeting Saturday morning - meet your new MVCC Board, all welcome. MV commuter parking close-in. BBQ dinners, restaurant with bar, marina, boat ramp & rentals, store, ice cream shop. Pool with water features for the kids plus adult pool, spa. Unlike in Spring, for FALL camping reservations contact KOA at http://koa.com/campgrounds/stockton/; or 800-562-0913. Identify yourself as being with the military vehicle group and REQUEST CAMPGROUND 4 (Fall meet only) unless you prefer Campground 2. We focus on CG4 to minimize "civilians" camping in our area. Activities Coordinator is John Neuenburg at in_garage@hotmail.com or 415-491-1601. For more details including nearby lodging, important parking info, directions, see event calendar at http://www.mvccnews.net. Don't forget the largest annual MV meet in the west, the April 2014 version of Camp Delta at the same great location. Featured MV showcase in April 2014 will be ARMOR. If you are not a member, we encourage YOU to join the MVCC - the largest regional MV club in the U.S.!

We believe at least one spud mortar is coming, so we need radio operators as forward observer and at the fire base (display field). Sparkies sound off if you want to have some fun with us.

Also a 2016 Convention update is planned during the MVCC Member Meeting (all invited), including an update on the location which will be firmed up by then. Stay after the meeting to get more details including available committee positions.
