I have received several requests for folks who want to drop into Chalet Suzanne for the BBQ or a discussion group or whatever but never registered. The venues and numbers have already been committed and we don't have room for any more airplanes or people other than those who have already registered for the event. Attendees are requested not to invite any friends to Chalet Suzanne during our event. Chalet Suzanne is full.
Please direct them to meet up with their friends at Sun n Fun on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Thank you.

December 5, 2011: Double Earthrounder Gérard Moss was honoured with an MBE at Buckingham Palace on November 18, 2011 for services to the environment in Brazil. It is worth noting that whilst he works on environmental projects, there is always an aircraft of some description involved in his work, be it collecting water samples with an amphibian or air samples with a conventional single-engine. Only by aircraft is it feasible to carry out such research nation-wide in such a large country.
