THIRTIETH BIRTHDAY OF THE KOGELBERG BRANCH – A CELEBRATORY PICNIC

Merrilee Berrisford

Kogelberg Branch is thirty years old. In 1985, under the chairmanship of the late Avril Nunn, the Betty’s Bay Wild Flower Society became an official branch of the Botanical Society of South Africa. We are celebrating by having a family picnic after the December talk which will take place on Saturday 12 December at 10 am.

We have a very special venue, Stroompie, an unspoilt piece of land with milkwoods and a stream on the coast beyond Betty’s Bay towards Palmiet River. Christine Dreyer, representing the owners, has given us permission to use the site; we are most grateful, Christine. Directions will be given in later newsletters.

This will be a self-catered occasion, picnic baskets, not braais, your own tables, chairs, umbrellas and rugs in a unique space (no toilets, be warned). We’ll plan to have a birthday cake to share – no candles.

The picnic will be a grand time for our annual presentation of BotSoc Certificates of Appreciation.

Mark this in your December diary.
