The biking calendar for 2018 is coming to a close, few events remain now, we have just had our year end function at the Eland's Bay Hotel. On that subject let me just say that the Eland's Bay hotel is a great place for functions, reasonably priced accommodation includes a great breakfast and the rooms are clean and comfortable with nice en suite bathrooms.
We organised a lamb spit-braai dinner with them and it was outstanding. The only negative I can think of on the evening, which had nothing to do with the hotel was that there were two rugby games on which people wanted to watch so our party had to be delayed a bit - bloody rugby mad South Africans! I have posted my photos of the party on my facebook page "Braais, beers and bikes" so if you want to see them "like" my page and have a look.
Also Gerrie posted his photos on our facebook page "Meeulanders MCC", take a look there too.
The annual toy run in Capetown has just been held this past weekend but we now have our own west coast toy run which we will be attending on Saturday 25th, we will gather at Juffroushoogte for a mass ride out to Velddrif to drop off our toys. This is always a very enjoyable "feel-good" day with lots of happy children around and we are looking forward to that one. I will write that one up with photographs next week. Any Capetown bikers who would like to take part in another toy run please feel free to join us, I can assure you it will be a great day here on the Weskus.
Our final breakfast run for the year will take place on Sunday 2nd December which will be organised by the Club Vice President Willie as Janet and I will be in Capetown attending the BSAP regimantal association Christmas lunch. They will be gathering at Juffoushoogte as usual for kickstands up at 09h00 so if you feel like joining in just make your way there.
Then on the 8th December is the Gypsy Jokers Christmas party at our favourite biker bar, the Phoenix in Vredenburg. These are always very festive events, not to be missed - we will be there, that's for sure. (I will just have to pace myself, maybe alternate with a "Castle free" and a regular one throughout the day) looking forward to that one too. It's hectic being a biker in the Western Cape!
There will definitely be at least one more Book Club gathering this year, maybe two we'll see how it goes. It has been a busy year, a good year and it's not finished yet but I am confident that 2019 is going to be a great one, let's just keep our fingers crossed that the political situation can be sorted out amicably, that the levels of violent crime can be reduced but then I suppose that is already too much to hope for. This is such a beautiful country, it would be wonderful if all South Africans could live peacefully together.
