However, there is an old saying that goes something like “the best laid plans of mice and men…….” And unfortunately this is exactly what happened. When Nerine Davis confirmed our booking with the management of Leopard’s Leap she was informed that, because of the large number of Members attending the run they do not see their way clear to accommodating us anymore. We were able, however, to arrange with Dene and Zelda Zondagh of the ever popular Kelkiewyn Restaurantin Villiersdorp to visit them instead. We enjoyed their hospitality before and they still are quite possibly one of the most popular venues that this club has ever visited. Dene and Zelda deserve our particular thanks for squeezing us in at such short notice.
