Paul, I've paid Forever Resorts R1312 already. If anyone wants a chalet with a double bed, you can take my booking, and pay me direct which would help me out.
Glenn really sorry about this , i know how you where looking forward to it , But i understand that your job comes first , I still hold thumbs tht you might make it , Otherwise you will have to fly your Gyro in the previous week and leave it at Gariep so that we can count it .

Well so far work is on the back burner. I have booked and paid at Grariep.
Was hoping to have JP join me, but I have read the latest posts, whilst here in Manila. Will chat once back JP.

Johan, Braam, hopefully you are putting something together. I have ordered (Braam!!) the Nauta tank, which should be here by then!!!!.
Looking forward to this

Demmit. :? ##

Organise your solo nav for the Saturday and come through for the day - with the A380. (^^)

Put the gyro in the back to make up the numbers. :mrgreen:

I'm seriously thinking to join you guys, I believe I won't be able to fly a gyro, but if you accept us in a PA28...
Who can I ask if there is still accomodation available for 2?

Ciao Aldo (abezzi)! Welcome to the forum!

Who says you won't be able to fly a gyro? Since you are learning already, you may have your licence by then! (^^)

You will be most welcome to fly in with a PA28 but first prize would be if you flew in with a Gyro.

Forever Resorts Gariep will still have place I am sure. You can contact their Central Reservations:
Tel: +27 (0) 12 423 5600
Fax:+27 (0)12 423 5610
Email: info@foreversa.co.za

Their website is www.forevergariep.co.za

Going to be great to have you and your wife join us!

Rgds
