8 August
2005
Greetings to all you Leibbrandt
Gatherers!
I do hope you are all doing well and
are very focussed and tuned into our Leibbrandt Gathering 2005 which will be
held in Port Alfred from Friday evening, 23rd September to Sunday evening,
25th September.
On behalf of the steering committee
I would like those of you who will be at the Gathering to extend this invitation to any
other Leibbrandts you may know to come along and join us. This is going to be an
exciting and relaxing time for all who will be present. The whole weekend is
going to be informal and this will be your chance to meet other Leibbrandts and
maybe even distant family that you did not even know
about.
The programme will be as
follows:
Friday
Evening , 23rd September:
Meet at the Port Alfred River Ski
Club from18:00. Each family is requested to bring along a plate of eats to share
with all present. At about 19:00 an informal “Getting to know You” will take place. Thereafter Dr Paul Leibbrandt will give
a short talk on his research into the Leibbrandt name and will also tell us
about some interesting Leibbrandts. Refreshments will follow. Please note that
the P.A.R.S.C. Cash bar will be open and you are requested to buy your drinks
& cool drinks from there.
Saturday
Morning, 24th September:
Meet at the P.A.R.S.C. Car Park at
10:00. An Observation Tour has been arranged for you which will take you through Port Alfred and vicinity so that
you can get to know the area a bit better. Lunch and the rest of the afternoon
are at your leisure. Do your own thing. Meet again at the P.A.R.S.C. at 18:00
for a spit braai. The cost of the spit braai per person will be approximately
R55.00. This will include salads and desert with tea and coffee to
follow.
Sunday
Morning, 25th September:
At your
leisure. Meet again at 15:00 at the
Clubhouse. This will be your opportunity to have your last say and to say your
good-byes. Refreshments will be available.
It is of the utmost importance that
you arrange your own accommodation. Port Alfred is a popular holiday destination
and the Leibbrandt Gathering 2005 falls in the school holidays too, so please
book early and avoid disappointment. Enquiries for accommodation can be made by
contacting the Port Alfred Tourism Board on e-mail: http://webmail.dutchweb.nl/horde-3.0.4/services/go.php?url=mailto%3Arosebuds%40intekom.co.za

either myself or one of the members on the steering committee as we need to know
the numbers attending for catering purposes.
