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

Re: The Kalahari Bundu bash Problems...
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.

Re: The Kalahari Bundu bash
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

Re: The Kalahari Bundu bash
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!!!
