Roelf,
To me the September option with caravan sleepover on the mountain will be the preferred one. However I have a major task ahead to convince SWAMBO. (She has some health problems). I have never had an opportunity to join in on any of the POCSA events, although personally I am dying to do so. So please except this as a vote of preference but I cannot commit as yet.
If we did do the sleepover, I suppose it will be a "wild" camp sleepover setup as apposed to using an official campsite with some facilities? Both ways will suit me with my well equipped ECHO 4X4 Chobe caravan. When traction is reasonable I can pull this beast up most grade 3 kind of tracks. I took her down "van Zyl's" in the past, but scared the hell out of SWAMBO in the process.
Bigwill,
Yip, a mountain sleepover will be wild. Spade for a toilet and everything we need will have to be carted up. The track I have in mind for the caravans isn't too tough - not even almost Van Zyl's class.
So lets keep an eye on reaction and then re-visit the date issue.

Guys, I've never attended a POCSA event but the fact that it is later in the year has made me quite keen to join with the Metalian. I prefer a non-electrical time of the year, shouldn't we do it just before the storms start?

Gerbek,
Noted and yes, I think you should meet a few of the Pajero boys and your Metalion will enjoy a bit of fresh mountain air.

Hi Roelf,
Count me in, I am the traditional type and 27th &28th September will be fine but if there is a change of date it will also be fine. SWAMBO will want to stay in town, no "graaf" (spade) for her. Looking foreward at seeing you all again.

Great stuff Willem.
I think we will have to seriously look at keeping the traditional date. I'll make a "formal announcement
" soon

Hi Willem,
Great news. We will miss the sound of your V6, but look forward to seeing your new diesel machine.
