Clearly only for people who speak Afrikaans. So that will count me out. Hope you enjoy it.

Does that mean I'm not allowed to enter events posted in English if I'm Afrikaans?

Ah c'mon man, don't get so easily offended. When events are posted in English, Arikaans people can still take part. Get over yourself.

 

Event looks really cool - good luck with it!

Copperhead, my apologies for the description only being in Afrikaans. You are more than welcome to come and join us. I don't know where you live, perhaps too far from us to attend, but if you do attend your Entry Fee will be paid for.

Must be. I'm sure the afrikaans people will very much enjoy it and have a fat braai every night without the souties cramping their style.

 

Geniet dit, manne! Wens ek kon saam ry, maar dis bietjie ver van die huis af

I know the Red Sands outside Kuruman very well and always stay there on my road trips to or back from the West Coast or the Cape.

I always wondered what an event there would be like.

Enjoy. Wish I could do it
