Hi all,
 
NOTICE OF JUMP START EVENT DATES MOVED OUT
 
I have been advised by the RNZAF that due to aircraft availability the Jump Start 2012 event dates will move out to April 2012. 
 
I am awaiting further confirmation to come in, so this is just a ‘heads up’. 
 
We hope to have some new confirmed dates soonest.  As soon as these have been advised officially I will provide further advice.
 
As you will all know, we have no control over this issue. Simply we will do our best to make what ever dates are announced work for the kids.
 
CanTeen & Project K have also had some pre-advice of this development.
 
More soon. 
  
Best regards,

TIM FASTNEDGE.
