THE intrepid members of the Midlands 4x4 Club
can take pride in having raising over R11 500 at two functions recently, which
was handed over at bi-monthly club meeting to the recipients.
The club raised over R4 600 by making and
selling bacon and egg rolls during the Jade Sky Hike Walk on Sani Pass, every
cent of which went to the Sunshine Fund.
“We as a small club are very proud and very
grateful to the sponsors for the donated food, and our members, who even bought
their own rolls,” said chairperson Otto Krüger.
Mandy Tyrer thanked the members for being on
the mountain every year. “You really made a difference, and I loved the banter
on radio,” Tyrer said.
At the 4x4 demonstration rides during the
recent Cars in the Park in Ashburton, Cheryl Mcpherson also corralled the
drivers into raising funds for cancer sufferer Nombiso Khosa (16). Mbiso and his
mom Vickey were there to braai with the club members.
The club’s next events are on July 21, at Tembe
Elephant Reserve, and on August 9, when the women get to drive on their 4x4 day
at Kwahumbe near Eston.
The Midlands 4x4 club holds a social braai on
the first and third Friday of each month (public holidays and club trips
allowing). Krüger invited all visitors to the club, which espouses responsible
4x4 driving. Contact the club at www.midlands4x4.co.za.
