| We were certainly very privileged when a request was made to our secretary, Harry Heyns, by the treasurer and route co-ordintator of the Bentley Touring Group, Dave Alexander, to host a light luncheon. The VVCC was delighted with a unanimous approval by all members. |
 |
| The Tour Group started off from Durban on October 5 and would be on tour for possibly one month touring South Africa. |
 |
| A brief touring map would incompass the following towns, namely: Mkuzi - Pongola - Manzini - Piet Retief - Vryheid - Drakensberg - Bleomfontein - Kimberley - Knysna - George - Hermanus - ending in Cape Town. A distance of plus minus 3,900 km. |
 |
| The participants were from all over the world and made up as follows varying from year of manufacture 1922 - 1934: UK - 8 vehicles, Australia - 2 vehicles, South Africa - 6 vehicles, USA - 1 vehicle, Ireland - 1 vehicle. |
 |
| The morning of the 10th of October dawned with a perfect sunny day. Our club was well prepared and supported by no less than 20 vintage and classic cars and members. |
 |
| Our club clearly lends itself to this type of occasion. |
 |
| Well the beat of the first Bentleys could be heard as they started arriving. |
 |
| What an experience and sight to see all 18 Bentleys driving in. |
 |
| Our chairman, Cassie Lourens, welcomed the Touring Group and luncheon and refreshments enjoyed by all. |
 |
| Our guests, I believe, certainly enjoyed the short pitstop of two and a half hours. One can imagine the interaction that followed. |
 |
| Numerous photos were taken by Colin and Renay and thanks to both of them. |
 |
| Time was again calling and the Bentley Group was on their way to Champagne Castle in the Drakensberg. |
 |
| Our thanks to Dave and his Bentley Touring Group for the short stopover with our club in Vryheid. Submitted by Des Lemmon-Warde |
