Dave is without a gyro so count me out :-( My M16 has been sold and I've still got to get the M22 to Slaapstad.

I am following this affere and i dont like any of you! How dare you have such a great weekend lined up while us Gauties have to check out the mine dumps again on Saturday. We were not even invited! Will get you back at Gariep. Julle gaan eerste val! Len jy moet lekker verjaar my swaerrie. Glenn please keep those immature scenic rotorhead junkies " in toom" this weekend. Remember you cant take them anywhere without returning a second time to appologize. Thinus get your sycamore going with cable ties if need be but get up and out there.Dave great news on the 22. You are going to love her. Great gyro! Enjoy guys. (^^) (^^) (^^)

We are going in RJR. We plan to be at FASH around lunchtime, leave at about 14h00 - if we go the scenic route via Worcester, Robertson, Ashton, Montague, Barrydale - we'll be there at 16:15. Sounds about right to me.

This is all weather permitting of course. This good weather will probably not last until then.

Paul, I'll be flying in with Len on Friday. We don't need to worry about any arrival slots do we for Friday?

I need to leave after the show on Saturday back for FASH. I don't have to worry about any slots do I? I should be able to leave there at 1600 local will I?

So. Who's leaving Friday morning? If I am alone then I will go direct from Mstar not via Stellenbosch with the other early leavers.

A little disappointing after all the hot air. NOONE leaving from FASH. Looks like it's man alone even the organiser's dropped out!!! I'll see whoever makes it over a few cold ones.
