Tilla Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 You are invited to a South African braai/picnic in Melbourne West. DON'T STOP READING HERE if you are living in the East. There is a plan! We would like some suggestions for a bit of fun between East and West, maybe a cricket or volleyball game, or a bit of "Boeresport" [sakresies, eier/waterballon gooi, driebeenresies, kruiwastoot ens. (sorry don't know the English names)] - something that the whole family can enjoy. Also, we would like to combine this event with a fund raiser for Kris Dreyer (I am sure all the Forumites already know about this). I will have a display table with the most beautiful fashion jewellery where you can buy something for Christmas or for your year-end function. ALL the profit will be donated for this cause. This will give us in Melbourne the opportunity to raise some funds from our side as well and you will get something for your money. Cash, cheques and credit cards will be accepted and you can take your purchases with you. You can check out the website at www.fifthavenuecollection.com/mhuysamen and if you have any queries you can PM me.Details:Sunday 12 December 201010h00 onwardsVenue:Werribee Regional ParkNext to Werribee Mansion Rose GardensK Road Werribee VIC 3030There is no charge for the area where the barbeque facilities are or for viewing the rose garden. Not sure if you will be able to check out the mansion or the mansion's formal gardens because there is an event booked. There used to be an entrance fee but I read somewhere that it is also free now. Entrance to the park is atMelways M201 D1The picnic area is situated atMelways M201 B3Please look out for the blue and red balloons!!Map of park areaPage 2, bottom left hand corner shows the picnic area.http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/resources05/05_1224.pdfBring with you:South African friends, family and children, camping chairs and/or picnic blankets.Your own food and drinks.

Mara Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I am often amazed at the number of folks asking about the next get together, but then when one is arranged, they are not keen to join in. Go figure!Last year we had a great time, it is a lovely venue, and we can only hope that we are going to have a lovely sunshine day! So...please come and join us, we are not such a bad bunch! What have you got to lose? If nothing else, a walk through the Werribee Mansion's rose garden, now that it is flowering, is an absolute must, it is spectacular!

Tilla Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 My thoughts exactly. So far all the numbers on the East side are SA-friends that I have invited personally, and most have them have been there last year as well - that means it could not have been a bad day for them. I am still waiting for a couple of replies from people in the west, who are also on the forum. Anyway, I think we are going to have a great time. Less than two weeks now!
