End of Year Function Invite: Saturday, 26th November
Hi CTARC Members and family.
Our last club get together of the year will be held on Saturday, 26 November,
(our Year End Function).
As usual this is a social event under the shade trees on the lawn in front of the club house.
Members are encouraged to bring their partners to this social event and the club will be sponsoring fresh beef burgers with all the trimmings for you.
If beef burgers are not your choice you are more than welcome to bring and braai your own meat on the club’s braai fires. Please bring your chairs, (we only have 30 chairs and these get snapped up fast).
Ice cold refreshments will be on sale and the braai fires should be ready by 13:00. The club house will be open from 12:00.
There will be a mini flea market / boot sale too, so bring your wares along and get selling from your own table, (please bring your table), or from the boot of your car….
This is always a very pleasant afternoon with friends and family. It’s always well attended and one of the highlights on the CTARC calendar.
This year is doubly special as Nico van Rensburg, ZS6QT, the president of the SARL, is flying in specially to join us for the afternoon.
Nico wants to come and see how the CTARC, voted best club in 2021, has their wonderful socials and get - togethers and enjoy themselves whilst promoting the wonderful hobby in the Western Cape.

CTARC End-of-Year Function To Go Ahead - 4 Dec '21
Our end of year function will go ahead this Saturday, 4 December 2021. (The weather looks doable so far). Start time is 13h00. (The fires will be lit at 12h00). Outside the clubhouse in Laidlaw Road Rondebosch.
The committee have agreed that the club will supply the fires and socially distanced chairs, plus all liquid refreshments will be complimentary until the stock runs out!
That means you will need to bring along... your meat and accompaniments, plates, cutlery, glasses and braai tongs and extra liquid refreshments if required. Even if you do not intend to braai, please come out and say hello to your friends at the event.
COVID 19 Precautions
Having the function in this format will be the safest for all and following the Covid-19 protocols. If you have been in contact with someone suffering from Covid-19 or feeling the symptoms yourself please do not attend. Everyone must sign in and wear a mask at all times except when eating. The club will provide hand sanitiser for entry and at the braai area. It is imperative that social distancing of 1.5 metres be maintained especially at the braai area. Please do not be offended if a committee member asks you to please wear your mask correctly or social distance should they see you are too close to another member. It is for our mutual protection. Remember that wearing a mask is mostly for the protection of fellow club members, not yourself. Show that you care
The Committee will have some donated items for sale on a table. If you have items you wish to sell, you may do so providing you only set up your goods from 13h00. Sellers will need to supply their own bottle of hand sanitiser for the protection of their customers to handle goods and cash. To keep the event small and safe we are not inviting non members to buy or sell. (They will be invited to our usual March flea bumper market).
*** Gentlemen please remind your XL's / XYL's that there will be two tables set up for lady crafters to come and show / sell their wares. Do let me know if I must keep you a space.
So that's where we are at right now, it will be great to see some of you again and we hope 2021 may get us all back to some kind of normality without all of these health safety restrictions.
Further updates may be sent out once the weather for the day has been confirmed. See you all there.
Regards,
Anne Bareham
