Hi All

Just wondered if there are any rumours of plans underway for a North Meets South in 2012.
Just need to now if I should be making plans to extend my visa

Oz big plans for next year have learned alot from this year , And next year we will be even more gyro's and better organised , i got the feedback from everybody that where present and we will implement as many of the suggestions possible .

So get that Visa extended

You Betcha! Its gonna be bigger and better!

Extend that Visa, in fact, get it over with and apply for permanent residence Ozgyro.
Fly that Sheila back here and stay man.

Any suggestions for a venue not more than 600kms away from major centers? JHB/Durban/CT?

I'm in!

The first year i went in Stellenbosch, this year to Gariep. What about next year (2012) in the Gauteng? Then we start down in the Cape again.

Although most Gyro's are based in Gauteng I don't recommend Gauteng.

What was nice about Gariep is the fact that we all were stuck there and had to "kuier" (that means socialising Ozgyro) all the time.

If we do it in Gautend it will become a day event and not a weekend event.

I heard rumours that the orginisers are looking at an extra day event to "kuier"even more.

What about Graaf-Reinett? Great tar runway. Easy transport. Fantastic stay at historic Drosdy Hotel. Incredible restaurant with excellent food. Amazing weather and sight seeing ... Valley of desolation. Now there is a thought. One day for the Capies. Two for the Gauties and guys from other parts up North and East and KZN. Stay over in Kimberley or Bloem ? I could get special tariff for group booking at Drosdy. Lets get some initial thoughts on this one.

Johann the feedback that i received from everybody that attended was that Gariep is a good venue , due to the following.

1. We have the airfield to ourselves .
2. Uncontrolled airspace
3. Accomodation , Next year we will have this sorted better (with Transport )
4.Central to most .

But i am open for further suggestions .

We just have to decide soon .

Wat van Upington??

Gariep is 100% and I am 100% behind the venue. Worked well this year and should be the yearly gyro jamboree venue. Eben jy is weer net luigat om verder as die Upington TMA te vlieg!!
Enjoy the weekend flying. Our weather is perfect. What are those teeth thingies approaching the Cape AGAIN?

Hey Mr Stemmet

My alie is nog steeds seer na Alldays (1300myl) , wat meen jy?

Upington - 3 runways , en die kortste een is 1.2km, langste 5km

Baie vlieg plek, Lughawe is nie besig nie , net 2 Airlink vlugte per dag, en die ATC's is bleddy nice mense.

Hangarage vir almal, goenoeg bly plek , plek om te braai en bar by die hangers. kom nou man

Actually, Upington isn't a bad idea.
Although Gariep has many positives, I'm one for trying different places.
