Just so long as we are ALL clear on that!

Please note that you can now book tickets for the below events. I am still hopeful to have some kind of aviation event (other than the Cessna flight), but at this stage that's still being worked on.

Please book and pay as quickly as possible so that I can confirm final numbers to the hosts of these events.

Cessna scenic flight - 10.30am, Saturday 10th December
http://www.eventbee.com/v/wijomas/event?eid=851647265

River Cruise & Wine Tours - 11.30am, Saturday 10th December
http://www.eventbee.com/v/wijomas/event?eid=899343243

Queen Charlotte Sounds Cruise - 13:30pm, Sunday 11th December
http://www.eventbee.com/v/wijomas/event?eid=889344245

There will also be the usual drinks and dinners on Friday, Saturday, and possibly Sunday nights. If we get an aviation-related event confirmed, this will be either Friday afternoon/night or Sunday morning.

All tickets are non-refundable except in the extremely unlikely event that the events do not proceed.

I have some already - on the same flight as all of you

Code:
09DEC NZ8021 AKL 1430 BHE 1550
12DEC NZ2472 BHE 0835 WLG 0900
12DEC NZ420 WLG 0930 AKL 1030
Seems we have limited interest for the scenic flight - so the options are to either halve the flight time, go down to a Piper Seneca ( ), or can it altogether... thoughts?
