 1 March 2015 SundayMeet @ 09h30 for 10h00. Engen Winelands 1-stop Destination #1 | Simonsvlei, Old Paarl Road, R101 | quick coffee & handover of donations ( http://www.simonsvlei.co.za/) Destination #2 | Vredenbosch Restaurant @ Pete's Adventure Farm, R304, Stellenbosch | brunch sit down & socialWe decided to help out an animal rescue organisation for this event. These guys do an AWESOME job! They take time from their personal lives & mostly make use of their own finances to help the animals. I chatted to Len Van Der Walt who is the chairman of the rescue organisation & he is very thrilled to meet us - so much so, that he even organised us to meet at Simonsvlei restaurant to do the hand over & enjoy a refreshing cup of morning coffee before we head off to have a bite at Vredenbosch restaurant! Well-deserving recipients of this charity event! Let us lend a helping hand by donating stuff like pet food, pet blankets, pet essentials, etc.Everyone welcome! Bring the kids & families along!  Drakenstein Animal Rescue wrote: Drakenstein Animal Rescue is registered volunteer Pro-life Animal Rescue Organisation based in Paarl, South Africa. 132-120 NPO
They were established in October 2013 when a group of concerned friends responded to an obvious need for a dedicated organisation to address the issue of animals in distress.
We are small in numbers but have already achieved success with the fostering and rehoming of many dogs.
We are ready to work together with any like minded organisations or people and we have garnered the support of many influencial people and organisations.
We fully understand the enormity of the task but we are motivated by our genuine desire to improve the lives of animals in our community.
At this point our main objective is to encourage people to have their animals sterilised and we are pleased to say that most of the local vets have given us their support and have already sterilised quite a number of animals.
We will act if we are aware of any animal which is in distress (Injured, abused and sick) https://www.facebook.com/DrakensteinAnimalRescue | http://showme.co.za/paarl/showme-cares/ ... al-rescue/

Yes, low car friendly & non-gravel
Stole a bit of work time & did a drive by this place just now
It's about 50-80m past Koelenhof winery, direction Stellenbosch, on R304
Place will then be situated on your right
Red windmill to the entrance, sign saying Pete's Farm, & palm trees is your marker
^For those that are not joining in on the convoy/coming a bit later
PS. Looks like a very nice place

The place looks nice. The food took 2 hours at our table and we ordered first  Can't comment on how the food was though. It was a great turnout though and it was quite fun, bar the getting lost part  _________________ Daily Lady: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 - Hannah Project: 2005 Corsa C 1.4i Club - Charlotte "Just a 1400 with a loud exhaust and a cone filter" Build/Banter thread : viewtopic.php?f=30&t=26607Ex Daily Lady: 2014 KTM Duke 390 - Lady Katlin (RIP) Ex Adrenaline Rush: 1997 Suzuki GSX-R 750 SRAD Ex Daily: 1992 VW Fox 1600

I also didn't taste any avo Poca ordered a chicken schitznel. It was very salty. I tasted it The only thing that looked nice was that pont noir burger with caramelised onions. Whimsical & klonkie ordered that. It looked very nice & whimsical said it was very tasty as well We can all moan to clinton america at the next hookup. That place was his suggestion
