Hi Yolande

My view is that the success or failure to get this off the ground again is going to depend on the cost.

Not sure if you have been looking at many past posts but there has been a lot of posts about the lack of support at fly away events and just flying in general and it seems that it mostly comes down to costs.

If i recall the last attempt to the Bundu Bash was around R7500 which means over R10k with fuel plus more for inflation.

My 2c would be to do what you can to cut out the frills and keep the costs down. We really just there for the flying, kak-praat and dop :)

Hi Yolande,

I second what Thatchman is saying. Everyone wants to fly and attend these fly aways, but costs are definitely the deciding factor.

Even if you shorten the trip by a day or 2 to keep the costs down. (^^)

Hi, we are going to try and keep the costs to the minimum, also working on getting sponsors to keep the costs down, you come from far so shortening it will make it a rush thing, we don't want that, you need to come and relax leave the mobile phones, laptops, ipads at home and bundu bash for 5 days.

ps I will try to change the subject

Thank you for the comments and suggestions, this is welcomed as we cannot do this without your input!! As we go along we will keep you all in the loop, don't worry about" lack of support at fly away events and just flying in general", mamma & pappa Kalahari won't let that happen!!!

Hi,

The tentative date for the Bundu is from the 30th of May 2013 to the 2nd of June 2013, I am busy getting a 10 year weather report for that time to make sure we have great weather. So the date may shift little but not much depending on the report.

You need to email me if you want to be part of the Bundu Bash 2013 - kalaharibundubash@gmail.com

Thx

I had a couple of phone calls and everyone is waiting for the KBB13 entries to inrease before they want to enter themselves, so everybody is waiting for everybody and we are not receiving any entries.

Please note that NO DEPOSIT OR PAYMENT is required at this stage. The payment I will confirm once we have reached the 100 entries mark. This will be on or before the 2nd of April as entries close date is 30 March 2013. Then only, permitting we have sufficient entries we will I require payment! If you have paid thx, this will be refunded should we not receive sufficient entries!

SO PLEASE ENTER ONLINE !!!
