Anybody come up with a suggested date yet :?:

How about fly-in to Rhino AM, Saturday 13 December
Fly-out AM Sunday 14 December

Are there any other events at this time :?:
Is that too early, you guys thinking something a bit later in this year, or earlier next year :?:

Could even consider Saturday 20 Dec, if you still want to do it his year :?:

From what I can remember, there is also accomodation available at Rhino.
How would one go about booking a shed?

13/14 December works for me, I might have a problem with the next weekend as I am planning a trip to Namibia then.

Ok, so who is in ?

Hi Gents,

The cosmos is anytime between late March to Early May.
You have to keep watching during those months, and it is only at its peak 2-3 weeks.
Some years it is good, some years pathetic.
I have been flying them for 5 years or so and have not figured out what makes them go into full bloom yet.

Regards
Rudi

time to start planning the cosmos run so I would suggest 3 - 5 April and hopefully Rhino will host it as we need to sleep over.

Any other suggestion for dates with or without the flowers (^^) (^^) (-)

Sounds good ! Lets see what the gang has to say about the date....

Sleeping over at Rhino will be great, I am looking forward to the talk around the camp fire with the jackals in the background (^^)
