Thursday 15 Dec late afternoon that beautiful sound of a few bikes coming down the road and turning into the grounds at Thee Waters Dam.   

Dawie doing the spit is already there preparing the sheep for tomorrow. Once all the preparation was done the party started and progressed through the night.  

At about 06H00 on the 16th it suddenly dawned on the manne that they have had no sleep and that they have a major task ahead of them, '2 sheep must be ready by 13H00'.  

Looking up at the sky you could know that is going to be a great day. 

The Bikers were lazing around chatting and kuiering while the sheep were braaing to satisfaction. It is now 13H00 and as promised the meat was done to perfection.

A few more Bikers have now arrived and Uncle Van and Bruce took charge and got everybody together. Uncle Van Thanked all for availing themselves and also Thanked the Exec for a year of hard work and dedication. 

Cedrick and Alfred then took centre stage together with Bruce and handed out trophies to the clubs that were present which were well accepted and much appreciated by the members.  The talk afterwards was that it was a great gesture from the Exec side. 

Now with that done all the Exec members were given a beautifully framed certificate of appreciation for there loyalty to the MAWC which I feel was a great idea. 

Now all speeches and formalities done it was TIME for the next highlight of the day............   

Lunch is now served !!!!!!!! 

Dawie and myself cut the sheep while the girls prepared the tables and got the Salads out, as well as the cutlery and crockery. While the guys were digging into the first sheep we were cutting up the 2nd one. 

A short while later you could only see the remains of the carcasses in the last bit of smoke coming from the braai drum.  Silence broke as the guys were digging into their plates of food. Seconds and even third helpings were at the order of the day.

A while later the Bikers started saying their Good Bye's and slowly left the venue heading home.   

Another great day had now come to an end and can be remembered as a successful day in the life of the Bikers.   

Now for the not so nice part : 

Where was the rest of the Biking Family?

This was to be YOUR day, it was disappointing to see the poor turn-out this year. Yes there were clubs that informed us that they were not going to attend but the rest missed out on a great day and awesome Fellowship. 

Just a few Thank You's.    

All the Exec members for your participation in organizing the jol, Dawie and his Team for the food (it once again was out of this world).

Cedric and Alfred for your hard work in assisting to the great success of the day. If a name was not mentioned, I apologize.   

Now this was the perfect day to end a great year filled with challenges, so enjoy the break as we prepare for the challenge in 2012.   

It is great to be part of a great Organization that does great things for great people.   

As we go into the Christmas season - Ride Safe, Stay Safe and you will be Safe. 

To all a blessed Christmas

What a awesome rally hosted by D-tox in a picturesque part of the Western Cape.  

Friday 18 November the start of the rally a damn hot day and out comes the pool and is placed on the cement slab right in front of the stage adjacent to the bar (the perfect spot).

Bikers were picked up and put into the pool by fellow bikers through out the entire weekend with their entire kit still on there asses. Miss and Mr 3 passes were chosen and a party of note started and shook the grounds.  

After evening fell the wind came up and gave a few bikers a bit of a “skrik“ shame !!! A few guys lost a couple of hours of there life but enough of that.  

Saturday 19 Nov “wakey wakey rise and shine“ the sun is up and the bar is open. A few bikers were feeling quite “vrot“ but glad to be alive. Little did we know that today was going to be a scorcher , a wild guess round 40 Celsius. Next moment the pool was occupied “klere en al“ and every body mingled and had a great time.  

Some time after lunch there was a announcement sounding something like LET THE GAMES BEGIN in that heat but once again the organizers were well prepared as the tug o war was held on either side of the pool where the loosing team landed up in the pool. All the spot prizes were great and the brotherhood was there no real incidents to report. The games lasted for the balance of the afternoon after which everybody kinda disappeared to their tents for a siesta.

After sunset the music fired up again and a stripper was summoned to the stage where she did what she does best.  

Now time for prize giving and thanking people for making the rally successful. The charities were called to the stage and presented to with the love that only a biker has. All the prizes were given to the lucky bikers and every biker was happy with his prize.  

By now the bikers started scattering and the pleasant smell of braaivleis fires filled the air. Suddenly a voice came from the stage , only to see a biker Jim behind the mic giving the entertainment for the balance of the evening.  

Before I forget the casino had its fair share of bikers banking some money but its not all doom and gloom Mies Main and some others were lucky enough to make a few bucks. Just a request Web we would like to know if you are going to donate you winnings to the buddy fund ? LOL  

Sunday 20 Nov roughly 03H00 the heavens opened and some well needed rain came down to cool the day and settle the dust. At about 06H00 everybody started packing up and greeting each other before heading home.

This is a sight to remember bikers giving each other a hug and wishing all a safe journey home. We should all be proud to be part of the greater biker family.
