A word from our Prez!!!!!
The only people that have paid their membership fees are: Corne, Vernon & Karin, Jacques & Lene, Anton & Naomi & Christo & Sandra.
The organizing of the year end function has commenced and this year it's going to be a big one. In order for us to get all our ducks in a row, we need club fees as soon as possible as deposits need to be paid. We would appreciate it if everyone could make payment as soon as possible.
Previous Event: Shrek’s Run
Koud en winderig breek die dag aan. Vinnig converse ons met die ander Buggers en hoor van Bok en Heidi dat die weer toegetrek, maar lekker is daar by hulle in Brackenfell.
Ons besluit om te hou by Plan A – Stellenbosch …….. Plaas
By Bothasig aangekom, wag Vernon, Karin en Lilly ons in met ‘n lekker koppie warm koffie en ‘n muffin – so ‘n lekker ideee!! – Dankie julle outjies vir die fondsinsamelings-idee vir die Klub. Onthou dat al die geld wat ons insamel, gaan net weer terug na al ons lede aan die einde van die jaar. So alhoewel ondersteuning nooit afgedwing word op enige iemand nie, word hierdie ondersteuning baie waardeer. Christo, Sandra, Maxi en twee van Maxi se vriende is ook al klaar daar en smul al te lekker aan die lekker muffins en koffie.
Ons het vandag besluit om eerder met die motor te ry aangesien dit so erg na reen gelyk het in Melkbos. Ons is baie vinnig, baie spyt dat Shrek by die huis is. Die dag draai uit in ‘n heerlike dag. Baie plekke baie bewolk, maar die sonnetjie steek tog sy kop uit van tyd tot tyd. Vandag mis ons regtig die Beach Buggy. Anton, ek dink ons is “sissies”
Kevin en Nicole join ons slegs ‘n kort rukkie nadat ons daar aangekom het. Jacques en Lene is die laaste om op te daag voor ons die pad vat om vir Bok en Heidi by 1-Stop anderkant Brackenfell te ontmoet. Ons ontmoet vir Bok en Heidi net na 10vm en vra hulle om die pad-aanwysing te doen deur voor te ry – (was ‘n bietjie lanklaas daar en konnie lekker die pad onthou nie) – thnx julle!
By Blaauwklippen aangekom kry ons ‘n lekker parkeerplek almal naby mekaar en soek ‘n sitplek onder die bome. Dis ‘n heerlike uitspan dag – baie stalletjies, baie aangename kos en hope om van te kies en te keur. Anton haak vas by die China-Tea-Man en koop vir ons ‘n heerlike vrugte tee. Soveel om te sien en so heerlik tussen die bome, kuier ons die tyd om saam met great vriende. Ons sluit die dag af met ‘n paar lekker bottels rooiwyn – geskenk deur Jacques en Lene – baie dankie vir die deel van julle wyntjies - dis was sommer lekker om so laf te wees om “stuur-die-wyn-aan” te speel.
2.30 nm en almal besluit dis tyd om terug te keer na ons huise – ‘n heerlike dag saam met vriende – wat kan ons dan vir meer vra.
Dankie Anton vir ‘n heerlike run.
NB – Ons het al ons ander maats gemis – hoop om julle te sien by die volgende run!!

Next Next Event: Ramkat se Run. 6 May 2018.
Do you remember the days before 1 Stop and McDonalds, when Mom packed padkos in genuine Tupperware and wax paper? When men still wore Safari Suits and
used Brillcream, and when smoking was still cool? Mom had a beehive hairstyle and Jacki'O glasses, and wore a crimpolene mini skirt?
We'll gather at the clubhouse at 08:00 to depart at 08:30 for a little road trip around the mountain....
On top of Riebeeck Mountain parking area we will go back in time for a moment and stop for a 'Padkos' competition.
Everybody packs in Padkos, like in your childhood days. Your padkos will be judged according to taste, presentation, and 'old school cool'!
Afterwards we can explore some more of Riebeeck Kasteel.

Note: Start the bleeding process with the reservoir filled to about one-half inch below the filler neck. Check the fluid level often during the bleeding operation (at least after every wheel, oftener if there is a lot of air in the
system) and add fluid as necessary to prevent the fluid level from falling low enough to allow air bubbles into the master cylinder.
After the lines are properly bled, adjust the cables for the parking brake so that the brakes on each rear wheel are actuated with the same force at the same time.
