come hang out in the Karoo!

Time is speeding up and soon we will be chilling, g&t in hand, with the warm Karoo wind on our backs... in the magical and mysterious town of Matjiesfontein. I, for one... cannot wait! There are lots of surprises and fabulous things lined up and we will be giving you more and more clues over the next few weeks. So watch the blog!

I want to hear your questions, answers, ponderings and darkest secrets. Whats the word on the street? Are you getting enough Matjies love? If you are confused and lonely, or even just want to know if there is a plugpoint for you to use for your contribution, email me, Julia.

Organising people

So if you are out and about and want to chat to any of the people who are helping put Matjies together, here we are. On the left is Simon who is in charge of weekend commentary. Nothing else. Marc is next to him and will not always have a cigarette to his mouth. Julia is the main Lady, she is rad and is very organised too. On the far right is Raffa. She is in London and New York, so if you see her, you are seeing things.

Faces to Names

So we had a planning meeting last night.
Inge said she was upset because at the Track and Field Party we forgot to announce who the organising committee is, so people can put faces to names. We are an awfully approachable bunch (some claim to be shy) and love to talk and bounce ideas and stuff. So talk and get involved and tell us what you plan to do!
