We started out on a cloudy Saturday morning, planning to arrive at 09h00, but the bus driver refused to travel on the wet dirt road which left us with no option but to walk! Some were lucky and got a lift some of the way; on the back of a bakkie, but others were brave enough to walk all the way. I apologise for everybody who got wet in the process!

Despite the circumstances, everybody stayed positive and the spirit was high! Thank you all for that!

Although we started the program late, we still managed to learn 5 new songs (sometimes it takes us a year to do that!) and work on some old ones and proper focusing exercises! Thanks to Mrs van Velden who joined me on the camp, we could split the boys and girls for sessions in order to get double the work done!

When we rehearsed as a full choir, we used the church which had a wonderful atmosphere and acoustics. Every choir member gave of their best and made the most of these sessions. I was humbled by their attitude and willingness!

We also had some time for adventure and this was also enjoyed by all! The food was good and the peaceful night with good sleep also helped in making the weekend a success.

I thank you in advance for your support this coming year without which we cannot function to the best of our ability.
