The Junior fishing competition is sponsored by Ratel and will be held along the banks of our property from 07:00 to 13:00, with briefing at 06:30 at the wash bay.
We would like to suggest a limit of R200 on presents for the kiddies and all presents are to be clearly marked and dropped off at the club in the morning of the 16th of December 2024 or prior.
Remember this day is about the juniors and we hope that all parents will gather around the braai area in the afternoon for a nice braai or meal from the restaurant and a few cold ones.
Santa Claus will arrive at about 14:00 after the fishing competition prizegiving.
Please submit your completed returns to
We are looking forward to a fun filled day.
