Past Events
Over the weekend of 23 to 25 September 2016 we had our 35th National Saamtrek in Bloemfontein at the Maselspoort Resort. 40 members attended the National Saamtrek and 34 attended the 2015 AGM. We had 30 plus Volvo’s on show of which 21 entered for the judging! Another very successful event, excellently organised with no hitches. Such a pity that the weekend went by so quickly!
Friday registration under the trees went extremely well and we then met up on the grassed area between the chapets and had a lekker bring and braai and met up with old friends and made a few new ones. Saturday the photo shoot went off without a hitch with the Maselspoort dam wall in the background, 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. The resort was really very good and a great place to be,
