Perdryklub hou

Western Barn Dans

Die nuwe Untamed Perdryklub op Louis Trichardt nooi inwoners uit na hulle Western Barn Dance op Vrydag, 24 Februarie.

Die klub word met Western Mounted Games geassosieer, maar fokus nie uitsluitlik daarop nie. Hulle brei hulle aktiwiteite ook uit na uithouritte en skouspring - eintlik enige perdrydissipline waarin daar belangstelling is, selfs om net in die veld te gaan ry.

Maar waaroor gaan Western Games? Dit behels 13 verskillende afwisselende speletjies wat tydens kompetisies gespeel word. Jy neem op verskillende vlakke en in sekere ouderdomsgroepe deel teen tyd. Soos met enige ander sportklub is finansies maar altyd ‘n probleem. Daarom reël die klub die dans op 24 Februarie om 18:30. Die dans vind plaas in die Gereformeerde Kerk se saal (Fransie Vermaak) met DJ Jonty wat die musiek sal verskaf.

Kaartjies kos R200 per persoon, wat ‘n lekker ete insluit. Die geld wat ingesamel word, sal direk gaan vir die aankoop van toerusting vir die klub. Enige iemand wat belangstel om deel te word van die klub, hetsy hulle perde het of nie, kan die klub skakel vir meer inligting.

Skakel Rachael (voorsitter) by tel. 083 664 6918 of Elize (ondervoorsitter) by 081 888 1371.

What happened to good old fashion road manners?

Willie Agenbacht from Louis Trichardt, writes:

On an early morning a few weeks ago, I was waiting in front of the Louis Trichardt Post Office for the doors to open. From where I was sitting, I had a good view of the traffic in the street. Because of the scarcity of speed traps in town (away from the N1), everybody seems to be in a slightly greater hurry than some years ago. The downward tendency in respect for stop streets naturally also contributes to the increase in hastiness. Unfortunately, some drivers abuse this “freedom” to a very dangerous extent. What caught my eye in this regard was the shocking speed at which two particular vehicles moved in this busy street. One was a silver gray bakkie, moving from the robot towards the four-way stop.

The English have an expression that says: “THINK! It might be a wonderful experience!” When I see something like this, it makes me wonder if that driver can think at all, or does he simply lack this art altogether? That was bad, but the prize actually goes to a guy in a silver gray sedan, coming from the four-way stop! Seemingly, he was attempting to improve the land speed record in this same, very busy street.

My own experience: A year or three ago I was driving just around the corner from the Post Office, going west in Songozwi Street. Because I am a little older and I have had a
