Night circuits at FAWC on 7 October -- Linda Hodgkinson

If you still need to book accommodation, please do so as soon as possible to ensure that you get a warm bed for the night: guesthouse or a shared room at the airfield or bring your tent and camp at the airfield. Best deal is available from De Doorns Tel 023 342 1402 at R150.00 per person excluding breakfast.
You need to make your own booking directly with them, and please mention that you are with the CTFC group as this is a special rate for us. For the shared 4-bed room (bunkhouse) at the airfield at R77 per person per night, please contact Gerrie Kachelhoffer on 082 808 1176. There is also a hut with a double and single bed for R77 for the hut. Call Ed on 023 343 2904 to book this hut only. There are full ablution facilities available at the airfield including hot water showers at an additional R50 pppn (owned by the gliding club hence the fee).

Meal arrangements: dinner to be served at the airfield on Saturday evening, a potjie at R45 per head. Breakfast probably to be served at the airfield on Sunday morning, cost to be announced. Please let Linda know ASAP how many heads need to be catered for or you may have to go hungry!
Landing fees: waived by FAWC - many thanks!
Fuel: to be confirmed
Pilot's briefing at CTFC on Friday evening 6 Oct to be confirmed.
Other info: sunset on 7 Oct 18h53. Full moon

FAWC will be offering conversions onto their PA28 and C172 on the Saturday and/or Sunday. If you want to take them up on this special offer, please contact the CFI, Dick Henry, on 021 554 2967. Remember that you will still need a check ride with a CTFC instructor before you can fly our club's aircraft afterwards.

Book your aircraft and accommodation right away - you snooze you lose. Feel free to drive up if you don't get a plane and make arrangements to "borrow" one for your circuits with the person who will be flying it up. Bring your family and friends and let's make this another memorable CTFC event. Please consider offering an instructor a seat if you have one spare as it is always comforting to have an instructor with us for events like this. Also let me know if you have or are looking for a spare seat and I'll try and put you in touch. Plan B: if the weather fairy prevents us from flying on the 7th, all arrangements automatically move on to the 14th.

Contact Linda through the club (934 0257) for more info
