Numbi 2009

As an ex-micro flyer who cut his teeth at Numbi in '99, I would love to know how the event went, and see some picturs of my old mates?
Hey, it's nearly a week since the event!

Re: CT and Durban venue for Mike and James presentation...

Hi Jay
Try the Sports Science Institute in Newlands Cape Town. It's very central and they have a great auditorium with good AV equipment and cinema-style seating.
021-6595600. Regret dunno how much they charge.

Re: ???was in the Border war???

I did two border trips. First one Jan to March'76 with 10 maintenance. OC of the ammo depot at Rundu for 1 1/2 months then OC of the main depot at Grooties for the balance. Drove those mighty 16-speed "tree'd aan" trucks up and down over the "kap lyn" tyrying to earn as much danger pay as possible. ...

Re: N12 at night!

Sheesh Demon, the logistics required just to run the identification and delivery details for all these micro-flyers must be taxing on it's own!
