Hi everybody.
At the last swop meet the desire to have another bring and braai at Wolfgang's layout in Rooi Els was discussed.
Sorry that this has taken a while, but with my wife having been away for nearly three months life has been a bit hectic here.
So we have a free weekend.
25th and 26th of February.
I will keep both days open for now, but Wolfgang would prefer the Saturday the 25th.
He also has a friend who want to come.
Let me know please.
-
I might be able to make it (wedding anniversary the next day).
So, for now, pencil me in.
-
I will keep the 25th open as well :thumb:
Awesome, can't wait...
Cheers,
Evert

Awesome, we will be there! :biggrin: 8)

Very little response this time. :-\

Then there is more for us to see and play with :thumb:

To true. Will ask Anton around too. Maybe John van Ryneveld?
-
Werner wanted to ask John Van Ryneveld, don't know if he has done so yet.
-
He's welcome to...

Hi there,
I asked John van Ryneveld to come and also to invite the guys in the southern parts of Cape Town and also Paul & Morne.
I will follow up.

Okay like last time 10AM :thumb:
I have got one more who wants to come as well.
Told him about our forum here as well so lets hope he joins up as well.
-
Is this now on Sunday or what?
Is it still on even?
-
Saturday.
Yes its still on.
I have also invited one other person.
Wolfgang's friend will also join to make the fire again.
-
Damn, I'll be missing this one... >:(
-
At the start of the tread all said Saturday, was also Wolfgang's preferred day.
Sorry.
I still have a client whom I really want to show this layout to, but he's somewhere in deepest darkest Africa at the moment.
So maybe there will be another get together there.
Will see.

Sorry All, but I'm also going to miss out this time around.
We had a ruff week with LOTS of stress but at the end of it all we bought a house, and we got it :thumb:
So I'm also a home owner now and my Trains will also have a nice room, can't wait.
We just need a break from it all so we leaving for Hermanus tonight, only back on Sunday late afternoon.
Enjoy and we'll see you all again soon.
Cheers,
Evert

So this weekend was the sad moment when we started to dismantle the main layout. :(
But the weekend had to be cut short.
We had to evacuate due to a raging fire coming over the mountain from Pringle Bay side. :o
We quickly loaded what we could into our cars and got out of there.
Apparently four houses have burnt down so far.
Some photo's from my wife.
First one sees me running with a load of goodies.
Werner helped as well.
Last photo is from the car looking back at Rooi Els covered in smoke.
