Ladies & Gents

We will make a final decision on Friday 8 August 2014 if this event will go ahead, depending on the confirmed numbers for this event.

To-date we have 18 confirmed gyros, 27 confirmed gyro pilots with 6 guests attending.

If you perhaps did not receive my e-mail regarding final confirmation, please reply here on the forum.

Ai, what has become of the 'GEES' that used to exist amongst Gyro fanatics around the country?
I recall Gariep with almost 80 Gyro's a few years back - now the best we can do is 18? Why is this when our sport is growing all the time?

Well, we'll be a gaggle of Gyro's coming up from Cape Town to visit Rob & the Carnarvon people in any event. Feel free to join us, no matter what you fly.

Hi all, what are the facilities at the air field? Can we camp under out tail?

[Baitbird]

Hi all, what are the facilities at the air field? Can we camp under out tail?

Is that UFO on blocks, or how will you sleep under that tail?
I saw at tedderfield that the tail was really low to clear that monster of a prop

Will you visit with the UFO, or again with the Sling?

[karoo]

Camping at the airfield will not be a problem .There are toilet facilities and a rather primitive shower facility. We will have a 'kagel' in the small hanger where meals will be held in the evening . .You are most welcome to sleep there.There are security guards that will also make coffee in that hangar.Much warmer in the guesthouses.
Contact us if you want to camp so that we can make arrangements.
Regards
Rob

There will be a flight to the Van Wyksvlei pans the Sat morning for a brunch.This is where a number of aspiring Gyro pilots learned to fly before flying schools took over.
Hope to see many of you at Carnarvon.Come and enjoy some Karoo hospitality.
