Thank you to members of Central Chapter who participated in a most enjoyable weekend spent at Stonehenge in Africa from 16 to 18 November 2018. Some of our members chose the camping option, while others stayed in the lodge. This is where we enjoyed our burger braai on Friday night, where we laughed until we cried and sang songs led by Neels van Niekerk on the ukulele and Retha Roos on the guitar.   Dinner and dancing and again, much fun and laughter:   Congratulations to the 2019 Central Chapter Committee. Chapter members are looking forward to another exciting year...

Members from Central Chapter travelled from everywhere to meet up at the last departure point in Witbank. From there we travelled to Hô-Kaai Pub & Bistro, situated next to the N11 between Middelburg and Groblersdal where we had a buffet brunch while enjoying our friends' company.
