What a strange week last week proved to be. We had lots of rain to the extent that a fibre optic cable was washed away/ damaged and Middelburg was without any land line or cellphone reception for more that 3 days. It was both nice and frustrating without any telephones, but when our Internet connection and emails also stop working it became only frustrating. No way to communicate with our members.
We were without electricity for a while too.
It gave us time to finish Pedigree certificates, Agenda's for meetings, import / export permits, general enquiries etc. but there was no way to actually send these documents to the relevant people.
On Friday 11 February I was invited to attend a Gala evening at Grootfontein College in celebration of their centenary year. What a surprise when I saw so many people wearing our Dorper tie. Presidents from other small stock breeds asked me if I had to bribe people wearing the Dorper tie? "We all know that the Dorpers is the breed to associate with and nobody needs to be bribed to show it", was my response.
Look out for some photos in the Landbouweekblad and you just might spot someone proudly wearing the Dorper tie!
