Go Storm! says company's amended website
Manufacturer's logo elevated to shirt
JAYCO's logo and name now appears in all its glory on the front of the
disgraced Melbourne Storm rugby club's shirt.
And it has reportedly not cost the Dandenong-based caravan manufacturer, a
huge supporter of sport in Australia and Australia's biggest builder of
recreational vehicles, an extra cent to become a major sponsor and have
its name in a prime position on the team's strip.
Jayco – a backer of Storm since the team was founded in 1998 – was a
platinum sponsor for many years, its distinctive logo occupying a place on
the front of team shorts.
But this was switched to the back for the start of the 2010 season, and
then suddenly to the club jersey after the salary cap scandal, which saw
major sponsors HOSTPLUS and ME Bank drop links with the team. Jayco's managing director and founder Gerry Ryan is a board member of Melbourne Storm, once one of the most valuable sponsorship properties on the country's sporting scene. Storm has been stripped of its 2007 and 2009 premiership titles and lost all competition points for the current season after seriously breaching salary cap rules. Jayco has now amended its website to read: "Jayco have had a long association with the Melbourne Storm. A number of players and their partners choose to regularly use a Jayco when they want to get away for rests between seasons to explore the country. Go Storm!"

BRISBANE artist Randal Breen has taken a whimsical and humorous look at caravans. His latest exhibition – My Life As A Caravan – was spawned from the discovery of an old caravan in the shed of his wife’s grandfather, Arthur, who hand-built it in the early 1960s. It was used by the family for annual holidays to Burrum Heads on Queensland's central coast.

Overcrowded parks a recipe I REALLY must applaud the Northern Territory fire service for its efforts to raise the safety of some caravan parks (see story here). It's quite incredible how some parks cram in caravans so they can reap in more dollars irrespective of the fire dangers. I have been at some where only centimetres have separated caravans and motorhomes. It's only a matter of time before there will be a disaster at one of these overcrowded caravan parks.
Rob Chater Search for Boroma moulds AT the weekend I lost the front window shade of our Boroma. Do you know if anyone has the moulds to make a new one? Do you know anyone who may be able to help?

Couple dump SINCE entering WA in
the past few weeks we have come across dump sites in Norseman and
Cervantes where they charge $3 for use. Have never come across this
anywhere before. Old caravan could be Windsor REFERRING to
identification of the old caravan (click
here to see story), I have owned two Millards and both had numbers
welded on the A-frame. The first was the year of manufacture and the
second was the sequential number for that year ... so 3105 (or 03105)
would be year 2003 and number 105 for the year. If it has some numbers
that look like this format, it may a Millard but I don't know if they used
that practise in the 60s. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

All change at Canada's nude park
A NUDIST park near Winnipeg in Canada, said to be one of
the coldest large cities in the world, is suffering from lost business.
So it now requires all its campers to wear clothes in a bid to attract
more clients. And to shed its old image, Crocus Grove will change its name
to the Sandhill Pines Recreational Vehicle Park and Campground after 40
years as a "clothing-optional" park.
