Natalie Knibbs tells me that two of our members are currently on a trip from Cape To Cairo and beyond. Gordon Battersby and Kyle are keeping a blog of their journey and you're all welcome to visit it to keep up to date and leave messages of support. The blog is at http://safari.blat.co.za and, while I know that the bit about leaving messages is a long shot, you can always try.
Meeting / Outing
We will be meeting at the Hillcrest Sports Club at 7pm on June 3, 2008. We will have see an audio-visual on dragon flies and a talk and pictures by chairman Geoff on his trip up Mt Kilamanjaro in Kenya. We will then view members’ pictures as usual. The set subject is Abstracts and the best picture on that topic will win a gift voucher.
We’ll have supper at 6pm beforehand and you’re all welcome to that as usual. Please send me a message to confirm if you would like supper.
Our outing this month is at 06h30 on 28 June to Summmerveld for the early morning horse training. We will have breakfast there (if John Teece can organise it) or at an alternative venue close by.
Directions
Drive out of Hillcrest along Kassier Road, cross the N3, and pass the t/o to Shongweni Dam. Take the Summerveld t/o and go up the road a bit. You’ll go through a set of gates and, soon after that, you’ll see a turn off to the left (if you go under a bridge, you’ve gone too far) follow that road and park in the car park.
Try not to startle any horses. Part of that is not using flash.
