Dear Heritage friend.
As per our constitution, the time for our annual general meeting (AGM) is approaching.
This year's AGM will be held in the Drostdy Schuur at 18h00 for 18h30 on Thursday 22nd of May 2025.
Members please make a note in your calendar of the date and time as we require a quorum in attendance to validate the AGM. Your attendance as a member is therefore important.
Visitors and potential new members are also welcome. Some of you whom I spoke to recently who had wanted to join, now is the time to do so. The membership fees are below.
We are also very pleased to announce that our own Dr. Morley Thomson will be our guest speaker. Morley is known for being a wonderful raconteur especially when it comes to relating stories from the past.
There will be the traditional selection of soups and a bread table to go with the soup after the AGM, which your committee promises to keep very short and sweet.
There is no charge for attendance. However, we need to know how many people will be attending so that we can cater accordingly.
Please would you RSVP to me at p.bromley05@gmail.com by Monday evening 19 May
.
As we are already into our new financial year (1st April), we would ask that you please pay your new annual membership fee of R180 pp for the 2025/2026 financial year (1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026).
The banking details are:

Meld asseblief u van as verwysing.
Please enter your surname as a reference.
The entrance fees for our regular talks will be R100 for members and R130 for visitors. This adjustment has been necessary owing to the rising cost of food for catering as well as having to pay for travel and accommodation for a good proportion of our speakers as they come from out of town.
