The outing this month focuses on two aspects of our vernacular heritage, namely: building a vernacular house in the late 20th century and a collection of Cape furniture. We will be looking at the Cape house that Dirkie Neethling built in Somerset West in 1987 using recycled materials. He will give a short talk in Afrikaans on the actual building of the house. Then Barry Anderson will give an illustrated talk on two items of Cape furniture in the house.
Saturday 30th September: 10:15 for 10:30. Bring along your picnic lunches!
In view of the difficult access to the house and very limited parking, the outing is strictly limited to 25 members only!
In order to secure a place on this outing, please contact Andre: andrevangraan@telkomsa.net. Andre will email confirmation to you and let you have details of the address.
