The first meeting of the year took place early in February 2023 at the Stellenbosch Flying Club just outside Stellenbosch and was well supported by members from the surroundingarea.

Later in February, a number of our Western Cape members travelled to the beautiful Garden Route for the annual George Old Car Show and, of course, to attend the famous President's Braai hosted by Waldo and René Scribante.
