2014 - 5/6 April
|
A
|
major weekend of celebrations is being planned
for the 5/6 April 2014 to mark the 100th anniversary
of the NG Kerk and to revive the Sandsteenfes that used to be so popular and
well supported from far and wide in years gone by. A Committee will be set up
to drive this process consisting of the major stakeholders and to ensure that
we really enjoy a magnificent day.
Our initial thinking is along the
following lines – :
- Agricultural show
- NGK and APK Church bazaars
- Horse riding clubs for a Fun outride and Mountain biking /Cycling
fun race
- Motor Car clubs and Motor
Cycle clubs exhibiting
- Art and craft exhibitions and Flea market
- Live performers – hopefully names that will draw crowds
- Various activities – pellet gun shooting contest, hot dog eating
contest, egg throwing partner contest, pootjie contest
- Bowling competition at Bowls club, Children’s tractor-trailer
rides, Motor car rally and Street Braai etc.
Sunday morning will
have the commemorative church service where all are invited, and where it is
intended to have a well-known gospel singer to perform and an invited organist
to give a short recital on the pipe organ. After the church service, hopefully
lunches will be offered at the eating establishments in the Village. We will
also ensure maximum media coverage in print and radio and every effort will be
made to try and get TV coverage as well. We now have less than a year to go so
we intend to begin right away with invites, arrangements etc. If we do things
right, this should be a really major event and I hope that all of you will make
an effort to do your part.
If you have any ideas
as to what we can add to the list above, or where you would be keen to
participate, please let me know. Richard
