Roger Mackie - our new Vice Chairman |
KHATHLAMPI - Place of Our Forefathers.
This wonderful peice of property used to be a trout farm. It has 15 springs which feed a number of ponds, most of which are filled with pink and white water lillies.
This is where we came upon a three metre python.
James Smith took a group of us to Pretoria, where we walked around Melrose House, Burgers Park, Church Square and Capital Theater. The entrance to the theater is still in good shape, with a restaurant, but the actual theater is now a parking garage.
SANDOWAAN - overlooking Hartebeespoort Dam.
We spent a midweek in February at 'Sibon' in the Umbabat Private Game Reserve. Our hosts were Roger and Zena.
THABA INKWE - another favourite.
TEAK PLACE - 17 March 2010
A new venue, very pretty, with lunch afterwards.
