Dates is fine with me.

Eutopia, 255km's South of Jhb makes that almost 355km's South of Pretoria.  Keep in mind that Oom Piet and Harry lives in Leeudoringstad.  That's quite a drive don't you think?  And what kind of accommodation do they have there? 

Zeldie - Well, it was just a suggestion - I really don't know any areas in Central SA - as I said previously, I've spent roughly the past 7 years in Namibia and prior to that I lived in the Cape!! :-)

I thought it was central enough but if it's too far, then don't worry.

According to the link:

Accommodation is in fully equipped chalets on the shore of the dam, and there are caravan and camping sites. A bush camp is even closer to nature.

I'm not sure of the rates though - I don't have a phone (long story)!

Hope some more people have got ideas?

Goeiste maar ek was lanklaaaaaaas hier.

Okay, count me in. 

November is perfect. :)

I will come back later to find out details though, I have to run.

Hi Peeps,

Sorry I won't be able to come - not only due to lack of time but due to lack of funding as well.
Hope you have NO FUN WHAT SO EVER!!!

Oom.  Let me know where and when and I will try be there. I need a bit of advance warning so I can book flights.

Okay so presies waar en wanneer gaan dit nou wees en hoeveel gaan dit kos? mmmm

Ek moet ook maar die budget dop hou.  Ek kan doen met 'n naweek weg, so laat weet my asseblief julle.

Ha, you thought I jumped ship! :blushing:

Now the wheels are starting to turn. Seeing that so many of the members are keen to know where we are going, we should get the venue and date fixed before the end of this month to offer enough time to make reservations.

Please consider good potential for animal/scenic photo sessions as the primary objective. Secondly the accessibility and economy should rank high.

Here are the three people who will form a committee tasked with recommending a weekend, the Friday to the Sunday, first possible date the first weekend in November 2008.

Kathleen - Eutopia

Thank you for volunteering...  :b_cool:

Hi All

After long and careful consideration we looked at every location suggested in the form and based on practical points we chose 3 places. Unfortunately none of the 3 places can accommodate us on the weekend of the 7th November. The weekend after that we are in luck with 2 of them. The 3 were Koro-Koro , Pilaansberg and Wilem Pretorius

WP is fully booked 4 both weekends.

Koro-koro.

K-K has a reunion on the 7th so no chalets. But is open the next weekend. Prices: Camping are R200 sleeps 4 Chalets are R370. It is approximately 150 to 200 km from joburg and 450 to 550 from Leeudoring. Give or take we didn’t measure it :-) (Size is still a concern to me on this one at 150ha)

Pilaansberg

Pb have no chalets available on the 7th camping are available and "tents" unfortunately it is not the Luxury ones it have 2 single beds and no cocking utensils you have to take it along. Camping site are no problem. The next weekend there are chalets available, camping and tents (At another loge in the park). The "tents" are R680. The camping site is R220 Sleeps 6. The chalets are complicated but here goes my attempt at an explanation chalets sleep 5(1 Dabble and 3 single). 1: R1300 2: R1400 3: R1500 4: R1600 5: R1700 Ps. the "tents" Share the bathrooms with camping. It is about 150 Km from Joburg and 350 km from Leeudoring.

If you have any suggestions please do speak up and we will look in to it. But we have to make a diction quick-quick time is running out.

Thanks for your time.
