Twice a year the CHRA hosts a community braai. The residents of our lovely suburb enjoy a fun-filled, late afternoon/early Sunday evening braai on the field at the top of Rodgers Avenue, Berg-en-Dal and Welgelee roads.
The committee arranges the braai drums and fires, and everyone stands around the fires chatting and sharing wine and a beer or two, from 16H00 until about 19H30 when the last people pack up.
We have almost always had good weather, sometimes a bit of a chilly wind, but every one comes suitably kitted out, together with chairs, food, children, dogs and liquid refreshments.
These get-togethers are such fun as long time residents meet up, catch up (and then only get to see each other from passing cars or whilst walking their dogs) and new residents get to meet their neighbours, members of the committee, and make new friends.
In 2009 we held the braais in March and September, and this year on 18 April 2010, all of which were well attended. So, next time you get an email advising the date of the next braai, make a diary note and come along!
It's such an easy relaxed and uncomplicated way of getting to know the people who live in the neighbourhood, and for the children to get to know each other as well!
