Well that startled you all, nobody interested then? Come on guys it's going to be a good weekend and look the petrol price is going down!

We at IPMS Pretoria have encouraged all who have the means to go and represent. Even those that cannot go to send kits with those who are...thus far one one guy (of 40 members) is going through. The IPMS website has no info about the event though.
AAD 2012 is the same weekend.

It is a pity that the nationals is the same weekend as the AAD 2012

Pitty I am working, but I wouldn't mind to send my SAAF Dak 6855 allong with someone, but then again I am worried the tail might get damaged

You mean the delivery man might not know about the aircraft and fix the tail before the competition?

Therein lies a tale......

Tale or Tail?

Hi Guy's yes it is a pity that it's the same weekend as AAD but then, how many airshows can you/would you go to where you get the same old, same old? Is there really going to be anything new to see?
Ok the cost of fuel and accommodation for the Kimberley weekend has to be taken into account. However it is the National Championships,
the pinnacle of scale plastic modelling in the country. Where you actually get to chat to guys rather than point your head skywards and gawk!
