Past Events
Over the weekend of 17 – 19 October 2014 we had our 33rd National Saamtrek in Bela Bela (Warmbaths). 40 members attended the National Saamtrek and 33 attended the 2014 AGM. We had 36 Volvo’s on show of which 25 entered for the judging! Another very successful event, excellently organised with no hitches. Such a pity that the weekend went by so quickly!
After Friday registration we met up at the parking area and were escorted by Chris from Cafe Mfasa and the traffic police to Cafe Mfasa for lamb on the spit – what a evening and thanks to Chris for donating one lamb, the pap, sous and salads and for making his bushveld pub available! Saturday the photo shoot went off without a hitch, we did the AGM and then the display and judging. Prize giving dinner great company, great company and great company….and great food. Sunday we had the winner and 2nd place photo shoot.
Thanks again to all the sponsors and contributors – please see our Support page under the sponsors tabs.
