Carnarvon

Postby gyrosa » Sat Jan 23, 2010 9:26 pm

Hi all
The Carnarvon fly in will take place 14-16th May 2010. Interesting part about this is that this will be the 50th anniversary of gyros in that part of the world. Contact Rob Anderson at 0533823090 or 0832618337.
I spoke to Johan Meyer about this and suggested that we hold some sort of competition in an effort to get as many gyros there as possible. The competition will be pilot skill and not between gyros.
Guys, this is the one to go to this year before Bafana Bafana blocks us in June!!!

Hi Len
Put it down to bad weather, then no divorce. After all, it is raining like hell at the Battlefields at the moment.

Come on guys, time is running out. Spoke to Louie from Fisantekraal and he suggested that we extend the trip to Middledrift (near Calvinia) and spend a day or two there. We can always go to Cape Town from there and then fly back from Cape Town and make a mini tour out of this.
The farm has a 800 meter runway, hanger (huge) and some accommodation. This will be a nice trip before Bafana Bafana shuts us down for the 2010 soccer in June.
