Dear Friends We’re in the spiral of November which means we are almost going to hit December and then proper chaos will explode – lights will go up, halls will be decked and there is sure to be Roast Turkey soon. But, just quickly beforehand, we need to let you in on our 2018 Activities […]
Our social (with a touch of serious) Lawn Bowls Competition has been happening for-e-v-e-r. And, it rolls around quite quickly. This year we held our tournament in October. Much earlier than previous years but Hilton had installed a pump at Charleswood Dam and so we could water even before the rains came. The greens were
It’s that time of year when snakes awake with romance in mind. A green “creeper” in a Buddleja salviifolia bush slithered to the ground and set off through short grass in the direction of we birders. It was a Natal Green Snake on a mission. This is not usual behaviour. A few moments later another
My mum’s brother passed away recently. It is the finality of death that does make us all stop and reflect. There will be no more conversations, no more arguments, no more teasing and no more laughs. It’s just the memories we get to hold onto. And, this finality makes us want to love a little

It’s Tourism Month but how does that help our community? Most things in life happen because there is a need. We needed to educate our children and so we decided to build a school.

But, in a world of modern and new, how do we continue to provide quality holidays? Each year we

And, coming
