| Bringing History to Life. |
 |
| Once again our club did ourselves proud with the participation of so many members at the show held at the picturesque grounds of Talana Museum just outside Dundee. |
 |
| Our group departed from Vryheid just after 08h30 on a sunny day with a successful run other than a problem with the brakes on Arthur's Volvo about 30km out of Vryheid. The problem was soon resolved and he now qualified for the "Noddy Badge". |
 |
| Twenty vintage and classic cars were exhibited by our members and a good support came from Dundee, Newcastle and Ladysmith with their vehicles. |
 |
| The show was well supported by local visitors and heritage demonstrations and talks as well as two re-enactments, namely the capture and surrender of the British troops on the farm Adelaide and the second was the capture of Winston Churchill at Colenso. |
 |
| The parade of the Caledonian Pipe Band from Pietermaritzburg was most entertaining. |
 |
| A procession of soldiers followed the band. |
 |
| Various food stalls and refreshments were available and well supported. |
 |
| Time was again calling and we proceeded back home in convoy. En-route, just past the Buffalo River, Cassie's Model A Ford developed a "misfire" warranting a tow back home. Of course "Noddy" changed hands and now rests with Cassie Lourens. A very enjoyable and interesting day well shared by all. Our thanks to Colin for taking photos. |
