To celebrate this we want to launch a project for all GGA members , let's show our GEES

The idea is take a picture of yourself , on your cellphone or camera at 16:00 on the 11 June 2010 ,Kickoff time , what ever you are doing

Standing on a coach , carrying suitcases, watching the game or what ever and send it to gautengguides@gmail.com
I will then make a collective banner for our website
Lets us see how many photos we can get together
Lets see some "GEES" amongst tourist Guides

There is a special "offer ' available at the moment which consists of the Siege Diaries (6 ) + The Smiths of Ladysmiths + Hlubi (booklet) and 4 pamphlets on the siege and relief . Wondered if any members would be interested at the price of R150 as normally the alone diaries sell at R20 each .

Phone Peter Higgs 0822556611.

Dear all

Please note and inform the correct stake holders that as from the first of December 2009 a minimum entrance fee for the three Rondawels view site will be implemented. The approved tariff is R5 per vehicle by the tariff committee, as a start it will be reviewed next year April.

It must be noted that all along the site was free to the public ,so we are going to start very small and increase the fee as the service conditions increase.

Kind regards
