Greetings. Please come and join us on 2012-09-15 when we hit the dirt to raise funds for Flowervalley Eco-school. We look forward to seeing you either on the obstacle course or on our Sightseeing route, or if you'd rather do the babysitting and spectating, we'll see you at the clubhouse of the Gansbaai sportsgrounds! Contact Woens at woema@hotmail.com for further detail. :yahoo:

Got some info Guys, sounds like a very noble cause.
Dagse Tertius!

Ek samel fondse in namens Flower Valley Eco School deur middel van 'n 4x4 familie dag hier op Gansbaai. Ek is egter nie die amptelike fondsinsamelaar van die Flower valley Trust nie, Elizma Blood is deur die Trust aangestel. Ek is betrokke in my Polisie hoedanigheid, asook ouer.
Die skooltjie bestaan uit ongeveer 17 kinders (van alle rasse en agtergrond). Oorspronklik was die skool net vir die blomplukkers op die plaas, se kinders, maar hulle moes hulle deure oopmaak vir kindertjies van die dorp ook om seker te maak hulle deure bly oop. Die skool is gelee in die blomme vallei agter die berg in Gansbaai. Flower valley Trust het 'n skool gebou wat so "groen" as moontlik bestuur word: hul maak van herwinning (recycling) gebruik en is totaal omgewing ingestel. Die kinders se ouderdomme wissel van 2 jaar tot so 5 jaar. Dit is egter nie 'n dagsorg nie,want hulle volg 'n sillabus. Daar is 2 onderwyseresse en 'n klashulp. Hulle kry iets te ete en word eerstehands geleer van die natuur, godsdiens en interaksie. Die terrein is goed afgekamp met klimrame en sandputte om in te speel. Daar is ook verskeie tuine soos: die kruie tuin waar hulle reuke en geure leer, die "touch garden" waar hulle teksture leer ken. Daar is ook 'n "Forest" wat vir hulle die verwantskap tussen groot en klein leer. Hulle gaan gereeld op veld uitstappies op die plaas en leer dus van diere ook.

Die skool se voortbestaan hang egter aan 'n draadjie. Hulle hou hul eie fondsinsamelings ook, maar ek en Adjudant Offisier Kruger, my kollega, het besluit om dit 'n gemeenskapsprojek te maak sodat meer mense betrokke kan raak en sodoende hulle bewus te maak van die kreatiewe onderrig hier in ons midde.
As Sektor Bevelvoerders het ek en Kruger besluit dit sal baie waardeer word as iemand in die gemeenskap 'n hand uitreik na die welverdiende skooltjie toe. Desember het ek en hy 'n paar teddiebeertjies daar gaan aflewer. Hulle het gestraal oor die eenvoudige gebaar!

'N baie groot finansiele las, is die busgeld. Ons gaan poog om die fondse aan te wend vir verligting van die busgelde en verder vir skoolgelde. Daar is ouers wat baie lank agterstallig is, maar weens omstandighede, voorsien ons nie dat daardie gelde ingevorder sal kan word nie. Die blomplukkers is afhanklik van die seisoene en staar gereeld veldbrande in die gesig. Die wat kan help bydra, probeer maar die ander help.

Die 4x4 dag sal begin by die Gansbaai Sportgronde as kontrole punt. Die voertuie wat deelneem kom daar bymekaar sodat die toeskouers en besoekers na die voertuie kan kyk. Daar sal 'n prys oorhandig word vir sowat 3 deelnemers, vir 3 verskillende kategoriee: soos bv Indrukwekkendste voertuig, Meeste karakter en dalk 'n prys vir uniekheid....
Daar sal musiek, kos en springkastele wees vir die wat nie die 4x4 baan wil aandurf nie. Die 4x4 Toetsbaan is teen die voet van die berg, daar kan elkeen gaan baljaar met sy eie voertuig. Daar sal moontlik 'n kursus ook beskikbaar wees vir die nuweling wat sy 4x4 wil leer ken. Van tevore het die Fundi manne ons kom uithelp met Marshalls en borge van pryse. Ons hoop om hierdie jaar dieselfde sukses te behaal. Vir die wat nie hou van die rough 'n tumble nie, is daar 'n verskeidenheid roetes wat uiteengesit is om blomme te kyk, duine te ry en sommer net off road te gaan en see en berg lug in te asem.Die inskrywingsgeld gaan sowat R150 per voertuig beloop.

Dankie vir die terugvoering Tertius / Woens

Dis is nog 'n tydjie van nou af maar ek is seker daar is 'n paar Hilux maniene / manne wat sal gaan ondersteun

woema · Post by **woema** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 9:44 pm

Hey sorry guys,I kinda drifted off the world wide web there for a while....you know, it is Gansbaai afterall......
I have received tremendous support from you Toy boys, I'm eternally grateful! My tractor is still ploughing on, thanks Nugget! I'll get back to you once the petrol price plummets through the R5 per liter mark.... I had great fun with you guys in Villiersdorp, that's why I know you'll love this! We have secured a beautiful route along the Danger Point coast among others. Some guys with Sandton 4x4's, might want to take the dirt road option instead, as scratches cannot be ruled out. Scenery wise, it promises to be second to none! I still need to post my pics from our previous encounter. Hope the newly weds we met that day are reading this. I'll do my best to keep you updated on this forum. I also started an event on Face Book if anybody wants to invite me, they are welcome....Woensdregt Basson...or just harass old Nugget for other info. Tertius also emailed me, so I'll put him on my mailing list too! Thank you for your support .....Woens, Donder, Vry!!!!

Klink vir my ook na 'n lekker besigheid.

Ek sal sterk probeer om daar te wees.

woema · Post by **woema** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 9:06 am

Dankie manne, met so 'n nasie kan mens bou! Daar is 'n link op FaceBook en 'n Flower valley conservation Trust website, as daar van julle is wat meer wil oplees oor die area en die skool. Ek hoop om Stanford se Wynboere ook aanboord te kry,aangesien daar 4x4 roetes van hulle af tot in ons area is. As julle soos ek is, as die wiele draai wil ek by wees. Lekker lang naweek manne en maninne

woema · Post by **woema** » Mon May 14, 2012 2:35 pm

I now have 2 perlemoen sponsors for a perlemoen potjie, for those who are attending. Gerrie van Eeden from "Wegry" will be asked to come and grade the Flower valley routes for us. Please guys, remember that this works on a first come first served basis, so start twisting the missus' arm! Safe offroading untill then

woema · Post by **woema** » Fri Aug 03, 2012 6:20 pm

Full throttle ahead, get your entries in quick! To prevent over crowding, we want to keep it nice and tight...no use waiting for hours at an obstacle...50 vehicles, 5 routes, average of 10 per route and then we hit the potjie stand! Thanks so far for all your support!

Please note that although these routes are relatively car friendly, the weather conditions could deteriorate the course immensely! What's easy today could turn into a steeringwheel wrestling match. WE'LL BE ABLE TO SPOT THE WHALES FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOP...and the Great Whites.
So, DangerPoint route confirmed, 2 Flower Valley routes confirmed, Obstacle course play pen... One of our sponsors collapsed, leaving me to recruit more sponsors. We have a fantastic sponsor so far in Hermanus Toyota who will be providing lucky draw prizes. Other spot prizes will also be available, as you guys come from afar and we rely on your fantastic adventurous spirit! We need R3000 for Murasie Fynbos route, so far 2 private firms/companies offered to contribute. My aim is to give you guys a variety of options. Take note: These routes are NOT hectic , so the the guys with the crawler tracks, 6 wheel drives and designer aftermarket kit might get a bit bored, but it IS beautiful! Bring the rods and the braaigoed! The dj and jumping castle will be awaiting your arrival at the Perlemoen potjie at the starting point: Gansbaai Sportsgrounds. These routes vary from 10km's to 35km's, so if you want to forfeit the potjie to see the Tri-Nations game, it's up to you, but I promise you the potjies will be empty by the closing of business! Very few formalities, so be there by 08.00am. Take pics for us to publish in local papers as well as a photo competition we want to run. If your clubs have experienced marshalls, we'd love to make use of you. I have volunteers, but experience goes a long way! My nr is 0824573291 if you need to get hold of me. Please send me your email addresses too! I'm at woema@hotmail.com
Okay,now lets keep our fingers crossed for a handsome donation on Monday! Remember to invite your buddy along who is an amateur/pro bullbar manufacturer, 4x4 dealer, tyre specialist, gadget guy.....I want to bring our passion to Gansbaai locals, hence the R150 for all the routes, not per route. The Perlemoen will be affordable, as I&J and Roman Bay Seafarm have sponsored enough to feed a nation. Looking forward. All the best....did I answer everything? I don't want this to be a once off, the bigger the smiles, the louder the laughter, the harder I'll fight for more publicity and involvement! Vir die ander boertjies soos ek, vasbyt mindae, die lekker tye kom!!
Advanced Entry / Vooraf Betaalde Inskrywings:Sector 2, ABSA Savings Acc. 9275437239, Gansbaai
R150 per vehicle/voertuig, ref/verwysing: "4x4" + name/naam

Travel safely! Greetings! Woens Basson

NUGGET · Post by **NUGGET** » Mon Aug 06, 2012 3:58 pm

Allan the last time I spoke to Woens he was talking about farmers actually opening their farms up and allowing us to ride their trails, so we we ride will not always be open to the public. Woens has done lots of recce driving and kissed a lot of backsides to organize trails for us. But will need to let Woens answer about the mountain trail.

woema · Post by **woema** » Mon Aug 06, 2012 6:00 pm

Jis jis Soutie en kie! Dag menere, ja ek het sopas met die bestuur van Flower Valley gesels. Hulle gaan vir ons reel vir kaas en wyn by die wegspring van die Flower Valley roetes. Nugget is right by saying I kissed serious backsides and promised we'll behave, if only the locals would open up their routes to us. There is a magnitude of routes in this region, but unfortunately, many routes will have to wait till next year as they won't fit into our program this year. Many farmers want compensation (some quite astronomical).
Well, we have 4 routes confirmed (actually 3 plus the obstacle course). Flower Valley has 2 mountain routes, the DangerPoint coastal route and then there is the Baardskeerdersbos route. Last mentioned is the only one that is not sponsored, so if the pre-bookings come in too slow, I'll have to rely on an alternative route in the area. You can expect breathtaking views from mountaintops (The Twin Peaks near Grootbos Resort), the Stinkhout trail that takes you up to the panoramic viewpoint above the La Mond winery and the gorgeous valleys of Flower Valley and Baardskeerdersbos and the Whalewatchers dream along the DangerPoint coastal route. All these routes are for the whole family (meaning your 2 year old will also enjoy it). No vehicle breakers, not particularly difficult and chances for scratches are slim, but not totally excluded. The obstacle course and the B'bos route is slightly more challenging, but what would the day be without a recovery? Feel free to check some of the pics on my facebook: 4x4FlowerPower family fun day. R150 per vehicle. Perlemoenpotjie will be simmering by the time we get back. Snoek is abundant at the moment, so I'll grab a few Snoekies too. Please don't forget that this is a charity event, so your support and word of mouth will be greatly appreciated. Nugget, I liked your idea of the disadvantaged kids hitching a ride with you guys a year or so ago...Maybe I'll pick up some of the creche kids myself this year. My son has a ball at this farm school creche, better known as an Early Learning Centre. It caters for all races, all walks of life and embraces nature and conservation. If you cannot make it, please contribute so these kids could continue their special kind of education. Currently their transport is an issue,as their bus might have to be discontinued. We are doing this whole day for these kids, so please come and enjoy it with us. Some lucky draw prizes will be drawn, to keep things in the spirit of giving. Believe me, Toyota Hermanus was quite generous. Others are still welcome to jump on the bandwagon in sponsoring or advertizing at the event. Looks like we're on track. As police member, we'll be reaching out to the public in this way too, by handing out flyers and Bibles to those in need. Good cause guys, thanks for your time!!

Woensdregt.....unusual name

Ek kan voel jy het 'n passie om die ding te laat werk en suksess daarvan te maak - Ek wens jou alle voorspoed toe met die dag! Ek's seker dit gaan 'n groot sukses wees

Kom nou HILUX Club manne en manniene, kom ons ondersteun :wink2:

woema · Post by **woema** » Tue Aug 07, 2012 11:04 am

Thanks OOOOMS!
Hey I'm bursting with excitement. You know, the 4x4 community can have a jol on TARMAC, just because of the kind of people they are, but mud, sand and the 2 African ladies: Fauna and Flora, just makes it soooo much better! Trying my utmost as an amateur to cater for everybody! So far so good...Have I mentioned the inclusion of a local wine farm and rumours of cheeseplatters/baskets? We are affraid of going full throttle, because of 2 things: 1. We have a figure that has confirmed that they are coming, but the pre bookings are lagging a bit...if I "over advertize", we might end up with 200 vehicles, which will be a logistical nightmare at this stage.
2. I need to keep some of my tricks in hand for next years event!
have a super day

Commendation is in order!

Thanks to guys like Tertius Binnedell, the spirit of 4x4 will be unbreakable till the end of time!

Tertius informed me that he would not be able to attend the FlowerPower day, but went ahead and contributed to this vital Fundraiser anyway. We all have fuel and break away budgets, but gestures like this are rare! Thanks Hiluxers for your positive attitude and your great response! 20 Farm school kids can look forward to having transport to and from school for a while longer! It is difficult for me as a proud Isuzutractor owner, to admit that your spirit is as inspiring as your vehicles! I hope you all enjoy FlowerPower on the 15th and that you all will walk away with Lucky Draw prizes! Open slots are getting few, so jump in if you can make it! Dankie Tertius! My aanbod staan, ek sal sorg dat jy 'n roete of 2 kan doen wanneer jy wel weer die kant toe kom!

cool dude, as ek nie hier is nie, sal ek my pelle vra om saam te ry as jy wil. 'n Sundowner is mos lekkerder saam met iemand! My laaitie verjaar en ek moet matriek afskeidfotos neem, so eks dalk vir 3 weke daarna in Kaap, maar ons date staan....die vraag is, moet ek foto's post wat jou gaan jaloers maak? Spot net, sien jou later meneer

Murasie roete is 'n wenner mense. As julle nie die dag saam met ons kan mee maak nie, kom kamp hier vir 'n naweek! Ek ry al 2 dae rond op die plaas en ek het nog steeds nie al die speelplekke uitgetoets nie!

Pierre Neethling, Jurgens Basson en Jan Ras, dankie dat julle julle inskrywingsgeld "borg", ek sal toesien dat julle ook die geleendheid kry om op 'n ander dag ten minste van die roetes te ry! Dankie vir julle ondersteuning!

Bees · Post by **Bees** » Mon Sep 17, 2012 7:37 am

Jis Woens

Dankie vir al julle reelings, die dag was baie lekker. Net jammer ek moes my dag daar so bietjie kort knip, ek het so ligte noodgeval gehad hier op die plaas.

Ek het nie 'n kamera daar gehad nie, maar ek hoop die ander mense het al vir julle so paar fotos gestuur.
Jy moet vir ons so paar op sit sodra jy van hulle kry, en as jy een kan kry waar ek my bakkie so ordentlik onder die modder gooi sal ek dit waardeer. Ek dink my bakkie was die vuilste op die dag.

Weereens dankie.

woema · Post by **woema** » Mon Sep 17, 2012 8:45 pm

Dit is met groot dankbaarheid dat ek vanaand vir julle kan se dat FlowerPower 'n sukses was te danke aan julle! Dit was vet pret, maar volgende keer ry ek saam! Jammer vir enige ongerief wat iemand dalk ondervind het. Hoop die perlemoenpot was na wense! Ons werk reeds aan 'n opvolg, so vergewe my as ek al julle petrolkoppe weer email met info oor 'n sand of modder partydjie nie...

Te danke aan julle mense, kan ek met lof se die dag was 'n groot sukses! Ons sal skaaf aan die haakplekke, maar dankie vir julle tyd, geduld en vertroue in my. Ek soek voorstelle vir 2013, want die belangstelling groeie nog steeds. Ons voel ons wil net 2 roetes doen volgende jaar, een vir speel en een vir fotos. Wat dink julle van 'n naweek of langnaweek se kamp en uitry roetes? Wat sal julle graag anders wil he volgende jaar? Ons gaan slegs op voorafbetalings werk, want die laatkommers het ons dinge bemoeilik. SAB sal waarskynlik aanboord wees soos dit vir my klink en ander boere in die distrik is bereid om hul plase oop te stel. Enige voorstelle welkom! Dankie vir julle gees en ondersteuning! Ek wil by die Maskam challenge gaan kers opsteek om te kyk hoe hulle dinge doen, maar weet verseker dat 2013 groter en beter gaan wees!

FlowerPower 2013 is op die kaarte. 21 September die jaar. Ons het geleer uit ons foute van laas jaar. Hierdie jaar wil ek 47 deelnemers verbeter manne, dankie vir julle ondersteuning! Meer roete inligting sal volg! Maak gerus voorstelle! Lekker naweek
