Put some pressure on the guys and have a braai at some neutral venue or else convince Bjorn et al to offer up their establishment to hold a braai. You people need to get together so that issues affecting all of you can be discussed and resolved.

A great thank you to JP for putting an awesome event together once again. Thanks to all that attended, many travelled from a far. It really makes the events worthwhile. Thanks to all the those that donated the prizes and congrats to all the lucky winners including my Mrs, who won the painting by Ferdo.


Regards

That must have been the largest gathering so far. The parking lot was full but people still kept arriving.

It was great to see old friends and meet so many new folks..... and was lots of fun.

Thanks JP!

Just wanna say a big thanks to everyone involved in organising this event, and to those who traveled from far to be with us. It was a great success!

We would also like to thank JP and all those involved in organising such a successful event, including those who donated prizes (thank you Rishaad for the snake hook! :D )
It was our first time attending, and meeting most people there, and we had such a wonderful time.

It was especially good to be able to chat to people with the same interests and passions for this hobby. We are already keen for the next event!

Thanks for the braai guys.
It was fun.
The weather was a bit bipolar but it was still great.

Really enjoyed the talk by BV. I'm keen to get our voices heard by the officials.

Hey Guys and Girls,

Wow what a great event, really makes one proud to get over 100 people to join us for a Reptile Braai.
Thank you all for attending and making it the success it has become. To the newcomers, welcome. It is great to see so many new faces joining us. To Donald and Devon, thank you so much for travelling specifically yesterday to join us. To our Gauteng based friends, what a priviledge having you join us, we really appreciate the support we have from you guys. Some pertinent issues were discussed and I will be expanding on those in the coming weeks.

Have a great festive season and hope to see you all soon.

JP, Truly Magnificent My Friend - Thank You and all who assisted you.
Arno, Thank You for those words of Wisdom.
Heidi, it was good to at last put a face to a Username.
Devon and Donald, You Dudes Rock - Keep up the good Educating that you guys do.
The Prize Winners, Congratulations - Enjoy Your Prizes.
The Prize Donors, Guys - We are going to have to 'Uithaal and Wys' to beat this one.
All Attendees, Lets take Arnos words to heart and get our rear ends into gear - Thank You All for making this event the success it was.

By the way, I delivered Carlas' baby Beardie to her this afternoon. She seemed quite chuffed.
