LEADER: Nigel Amschwand
This month our official outing was due to be an away weekend to the Nuy Valley.
However, we have been invited to join the Archaeology Society on their visit to Piketberg on the 24th October 2015.
The outing comprises two parts. Firstly, a visit to the Piketberg Information Centre to look at the storyboards containing information on the Oral History Project conducted by Antonia Malan and her team.
The Information Centre (housed in the old Synagogue) is adjacent to the Piketberg Museum that contains many items of interest.
In the afternoon we will drive north to the Droogeryskloof to visit a farm, Wagenpad, where Guy Thomas of Heritage Western Cape will tell us about his investigations into the farm’s history.
