Hi Boet
Net so ‘ bietjie terugvoer oor Gariep 2010.
Baie dankie vir ‘n lekker paar dae, My Pa het gesê ‘’Agter elke man wat so ‘n event kan reël is daar ‘n vrou wat hom bystaan. As al die pilots so lekker vlieg en gesels vergeet ons van al die harde werk om alles te reël van e-mails, telefoon oproepe, borge, inskrywings, websit, reeling tov vliegveld, veiligheid, verblyf, uitgawes, inkomste ens. Dan nog jou eie reelings tov trailer pak en voorbereidings.
Boet, Paula en Wesley baie dankie vir al julle harde werk en dit is altyd lekker om julle as vriende te ontvang in die Frystaat. Ek glo die Bloemfontein manne het alreeds getoon wat ons belangstelling deur alreeds te betaal vir 2011.
Nogmals dankie dit was lekkkkkkkeeer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My family and I had the pleasure and privilege to attend the 2010 Gariep Fly-in from 16 to 20 June. On arrival ,we were welcomed by Boet and Paula Dennysschen, and received a hamper of goodies which included a beautiful pair of braai tongs. We immediately felt at home, and as I unpacked the trailer, other modelers offered their help to get us settled in. Later that afternoon, I met up with Herman Grobler and his two sons. During the late 1960s, Herman and I were in the same school in Pietersburg, and together we built and flew line control model aircraft. Our family relocated to Alberton at the end of 1970 and we lost contact with each other, so this reunion was certainly one of the highlights of my Gariep trip.
The weekend was characterized by good flying weather, amazing aircraft, and friendly people. Anyone that planned to attend but stayed away due to the cold front, missed out on a lot of fun. On Saturday evening, most of the participants and their families attended a dinner and prizegiving at the Stihl hotel. Good food, good wine, good company. Each of the participants received a hand crafted wall clock which I am sure will find a special place to be hanged.
I would like to congratulate Boet, Paula and Wesley, and all the sponsors for making this event a huge success, and we are already looking forward to the next one. Well done!!

As always you put on a really great extended weekend of flying. Many thanks to all who worked so hard to make it happen. Cheers and see you there next year.

Dit was ons “eerste” Boet Gariep, Ek was daar laas (dink 1988???) saam met Jan. Glo jy sal sy A-4 en groen/pers Maverick onthou.
Weereens baie dankie vir die uitstekende reelings, ook die weer. Hoop ander events/oganiseerders begin kers opsteek. Dit was vir my verstommend hoe goed die frekwensie “beheer” gewerk het. Ek praat van outshoring ervaring. Dankie vir die geleentheid en oop slot vir Hans om sy Demoiselle te probeer. Resultaat was nie onvan pas van ‘n draadkar nie. Ons het hom nou meer van ‘n vliegtuig gemaak, met ‘n groter hoek van die vlerk op die romp, en glo hy gaan by die eeste beste geleentheid vlieg.
Ons het dit baie geniet, en as ek luister na Abram en Hans se planne, is ons volgende jaar weer daar.
Doen AUB so weer vir 2011
Vriendelike groete
