This One Time at Band Camp....
All You HKGK Camping Group Members will be soopa excited to know that payment has been made in full for our HKGK Group October camping trip to Buffelspoort.
Lets now talk about the possible Boeresports. Yes or no? We had two votes on the blog that were for it...the rest either didn't take the time to vote (shame on y'all) or voted to just chill. So, this is the last time I'm going to ask -then I'm giving it up for a bad idea and we can just have a chill weekend in our hammocks sipping wine and taking over Buffelspoort Family Resort (as we normally do)
Email me your thoughts to gillian@homemakers-sa.co.za or leave a comment below.
Today, I got an email from Rita at Buffelspoort Reservations asking to send through our completed Group Form. (it is basically an indenity form that one of the group members has to complete so that at least one individual will take responsibility for the bill).
I faxed through the completed form with haste so as not to delay our booking reservation. This form had a section to complete your "group name". Without thinking I completed "H.K.G.K".
On the form as a special request, I also asked for our stands to be located close to the ablution blocks which is always good with small children. I also requested to make use their large grass verge near the entrance on the Saturday for our Boeresports (which we will still confirm).
Resort Rita received my fax and almost immediately emailed me back saying she'd spoken to the Resort Manager and he needed to know what "H.K.G.K" (our group name) stands for. I wondered why on earth they'd need this information?? I mean we aren't a bunch of international spies who are smuggling in high calibre weapons ready to cock our guns at every man, woman or beast staying at the resort. We are just a bunch of regular goofbals who get together and go on camping trips and tours.
Our camp name stands for "Hier Kom Groot Kak" but I certainly wasn't about to tell Resort Rita that! We could quite easily be turned away and denied entry. That Resort Rita would reserved the right for us to enter in a heartbeat. She most certainly has "the powa". I think she was eyeballing us as possible trouble makers or even worse - undercover Health Inspectors armed with swabs and other CSI-type chemicals ready to bust their asses.
So, I first asked Resort Rita why she needed this information and told her we are just a bunch of family and friends that get together and often visit the resort. After stalling her for a bit, I eventually I told her the initials stood for "Hier Kom Gauteng Kampers". I suspect she may have thought we were some feisty church group wanting to preach the gospel to innocent fellow campers or something equally ridiculous. Who knows what Resort Rita thought?
So I told a fib to the Resort Rita. The Camp Kommandant and I almost certain I will be eternally punished and burn in hell for this fib. I'm still not sure why I didn't just tell her the truth??? Resort Rita is a little intimidating and perhaps she's smack me sharply on the knuckles with her wooden ruler or put me into the Camp Naughty Corner for telling fibs.
I can actually imagine Resort Rita in her short tight black pencil skirt, patent leather 6 inch stilletoes and tight crisp white blouse. Her hair in a tight bun, tiny reading glasses perched on the tip on her nose, pointing her finger in ny general directlion. She'd, no doubt, force me to wear one of their "soopa trendy" kakhi "Buffelspoort Rocks" T-shirts for the entire weekend and make me ingest a potion that ensures my pee turns purple if I relieve myself in the communial swimming pool.
In conclusion, Buffelspoort is on like Donkey Kong and I'm still very afraid of Resort Rita...any takers on checking in when we get there?

Buffelspoort : 30 October to 1 November
We have secured 4 stands at Buffels so here's the list of attendees:
1.Chris
2.Dirk
3.Irene
4.Piet
5.Mandy
6.Percy
7.Richard
8.Gillian
9.Riaan
10.Megan
11.Kaylin
12.Wouter
13.Chanelle
14.Wikus
15.Natasha
16.Norman
17.Donovan
18.Tammy
19.Melanie
20.Shaun
21.Rassie
22.Ria
23.Desiree
24.Chey
25.Ouma
So, that means we have one extra person but I'm sure the camp official won't even realise. Hmmmm wishful thinking, I suppose.
We are missing a few key people: Fiona and Steve who have work committments so they can't predict whether they will be able to join us until closer to the time. Justin, who is writing exams (poor bugger) and Ellen who will be at home working hard. We will miss them but I'm sure we'll fill them in with truck loads of photos from all us camera-happy gals.
So, let me know if you think we should do a Boeresports seeing as we're going to be at Buffels (our original Boeresports venue). Irene has already volunteered to help me out and I might need some of volunteers. Norman and Dirk - how about some T-shirts or caps?
Leave a Comment below (don't forget your name) to let me know what you guys think coz I have tons of ideas.
