2009: Christmas party

It's been a bit like drawing teeth but, finally, enough people have paid to enable the Christmas party to go ahead.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Christmas Party: R100 per person
Date: 4 December 2009
Venue: Bhowani Game Lodge - http://www.bhowanigamelodge.co.za.


Directions:
There is a map on the contact page but you basically take the Hammarsdale t/o on the N3 coming from Hillcrest.

You go over the N3 and go about 8km past the Inchanga turnoff and turn right at the Caltex garage. It's the turn off you would take for the Abattoir and Cato ridge airfield. Go for about 5km past airfield, abattoir and so on.

The road turns to dirt a couple of hundred meters past the abbatoir and the game lodge is 800m further on, on the left.

December 2009: Meeting

Kim from Fuji has agreed to talk to us and give a demo on their INSTORE PHOTOBOOK, it is an interesting concept and ideal for Christmas presents. Fuji are our co-sponsors for the exhibition so we need as many people to attend as possible.
-----
There will also be some sort of workshop and viewing of members' pictures at the meeting on 1 December, which is to be held at the Hillcrest Sports Club at 7pm as usual.

Outing: November 2009

Just as well Gwynne reminded me because I had forgotten about the outing tomorrow. Anyhow, it's still on and you wildlife guys should love it.

It's at the African Bird of Prey Sanctuary located about 4 kms along the road to the Lion Park after you have taken exit 65 on the N3. Details and a map here.

New since I was therelast is a vulture feeding session!!

The feeding will take place just before or after the free flight show at 10h30. So you are advised to be there just before 10 (on the 14th November)to be sure you don't miss anything.

BRING A HAT AND SUNSCREEN because it is in the open. Entrance is R30 each and there is restaurant for a meal afterwards.
