Participation and Exhibiting at the NG Wes Kerk and the Vryheid Flying Club
At the last club meeting a request was received from 2 entities, namely the NG Kerk Wes, and the Vryheid Flying Club to exhibit our cars at both the fundraising day and bazaar respectively.
Both were being held on the same day, namely Saturday 7th March 2015.
At the Wes Kerk we displayed our vehicles in an "amphitheatre-like" area, and on arrival, we were introduced to the public with the make of the car and its' respective owner.
Our members enjoyed the various snacks and food exhibited by the various stalls. Our team leader made a calling and we departed to proceed to the Vryheid Flying Club where we were to display our vehicles.
What an interesting day and the great display of various types of aircrafts and gyrocopters that had flown in to support the Vryheid Flying Club's "fly-in"!
From a personal perspective, I believe both fundraising events were a resounding success.
Many thanks to our members, namely Allan, Harry, Andre, Dirk, Terry, Jan, Colin, Des and Willem who made the effort in supporting the above charitable events.

1 March 2015 - Bowling in Paulpietersburg
The annual "Bowls Challenge" in Paulpietersburg.
The annual "Bowls Challenge" was programmed for 22 February. However, due to bad weather, it was cancelled and postponed to the 1st March.
The message from Harry was: "Come rain, hail or snow, we were going to Paulpietersburg".
Well, rain, yes on departure from Vryheid, however, weather in Paulpietersburg was perfect. Acting chairman for the Paulpietersburg bowling club, John Darlow, called in his fellow bowlers and awaited our arrival.
Our teams were: Harry, Cassie, Kowie, Allan, Terry, Neels, Des and Albie and partners. We had a very challenging 12 sets with great fun and laughter to all participants and spectators alike.
Well, no sooner had we walked off the greens, the rains surprised us once again. However, with good clubhouse facilities and a braai and refreshments, we enjoyed good fellowship.
Our thanks to the members who made the effort to participate in the bowls challenge and also our thanks to John Darlow and fellow bowlers for organising the bowls challenge.
Time was once again calling and we were on our way home in a beautiful sunny afternoon.

The 2014 Rally and Function - 22 November 2014
Year End Rally and Function -
One cannot believe the year of 2014 is drawing to a close. Our club has certainly experienced an exciting and eventful year to date.
Our Year End Rally was again a great success and the team responsible for the rally route was Terry Bunge and Dirk de Beer and marshalls Allan Holmes, Dieter Oltmann and Ted Hermann.
14 Cars participated of which 3 entered the vintage category and the balance in the classic category. The route covered a total of 76km's and the average anticipated time factor for the two categories was 74 mins and 67 mins respectively. The rally route was slightly different to the past in as much that the instructions were in the form of visual diagrams which made it very interesting.
The rally started and ended at our new clubhouse at Cecil Emmett Park and all 14 cars completed the rally successfully.
The successful winner of the vintage category was Harvie Van Heerden and the winner of the classic category was Cassie Lourens.
Our thanks to Rene and Harvie for the many photos taken at both the rally and the year end function.
The year end function was hosted at the Vryheid High School sports pavillion and well supported with the dress theme being "Cowboys & Crooks". What a wonderful and successful evening and our members went that extra mile on the dress code. Kowie and Carrol were the most impressively dressed couple, although there were a few other very close contenders.
Our thanks to Harvie, braaiers and ladies for the setting of tables and decor and the excellent food that was prepared. Well done!
Various trophies were also presented to the members by the chairman.
The past chairman, Kobus Botha, gave an overview of the successful events during the year and introduction of the new chairman and committee namely as follows:
Chairman - Cassie Lourens
Vice-Chairman and Treasurer - Harvie Van Heerden
Secretary - Harry Heyns
Events Managers - Leon v.d. Berg & Des Lemmon-Warde
Clubhouse Managers - Dirkie Kruger & Neels Nortje
Our thanks to outgoing chairman, Kobus and his committee members for a well done performance over the past year.
In conclusion, one must add that there is a great atmosphere of enthusiasm in our club and one looks forward to another exciting year ahead.
