Cricket and Rhinos ... and YOU!

Thanks DB, it sounds like it's going to be an awesome weekend!! Thanks also to all for their time and effort to make this the success I believe it's going to be! And everybody that can’t be there please support the online auction. Every sent counts!

Hi all,

Further to the announcement, for the forumites that will not be able to attend for what ever reason, we will be setting up the webcam for the event.

At this point I am not sure what will be "broadcast" when, but while the cam is up - users will be able to access this from the normal webcam page.

Thanks

Great Steven - thanks!

Going to be a cracker!

Fantastical

And of coarse item 45 on the line up ... Petra and Scipio singing their duet

Scipio has to be in a grass skirt ... to above the knees ...

There has to be a LOOOOT of money on the table for that to happen.

Apart from Scipio in a grass skirt, the rest of us need to be aware of dress code for the weekend

Friday night - very casual, we are in KNP after all

Saturday - if cricket shirts are handed out on Friday at the braai, please wear yours on Saturday.

Saturday evening - Kruger smart casual. No slops/t-shirts. We smarten up a bit, but keep in mind we are still in the bush. So golf shirts/open neck shirts/smartish shorts (not board shorts) or jeans/chinos type of thing for the guys; and for the ladies ... you will know what to wear Please PM me if I can help with further details.

If in doubt, rather dress a bit up, than down.

The live feed topics are up and as soon as the webcam link is ready on Friday, it will be posted here for you all to follow.

Thank goodness, I was just getting used to the nice cool breeze.
