Wildevy 4x4
Dag ‘n groot sukses
Brullende enjins het vroegdag reeds die koue verdryf tydens hierdie jaar se Wildevy 4x4
gesinsdag wat verlede Saterdag plaasgevind het.
‘n String van 120 viertrek voertuie het geduldig hul beurt op die baan afgewag.
Stowwerige heuwels, gate, modder en glybane het bestuurders en hul navigators se
bestuursvernuf tot die uiterste getoets. By elke punt moes die deelnemers ‘n sekere
hoeveelheid uitdagings voltooi en daardeur punte verdien. So was daar nie net baie pret
nie, maar is ook volgens ‘n puntestelsel bepaal wie is die dag se wenners.
‘n Skare van ongeveer 5 000 mense het die dag bygewoon en nie op hulle laat wag
wanneer ‘n bietjie aanmoediging deur ‘n modderige gat nodig was nie. Toeskouers is ook
gratis tussen die punte met ‘n wa en trekker vervoer, so hulle kon werklik deel word van
die dag se aktiwiteite.
Hierdie jaar het die organiseerders goed vir die toeskouers gesorg met ‘n kinder vermaak
area en selfs ‘n moederskamer. Die Hervormde en AGS Kerke van Steelpoort het gesorg Wonderful women weekend!

besoeker gebied het.

by. Die dag se uitslae was soos volg:
Algehele beste: Stefan en Nanette Wintershoven met 1075.

Speaking to the newspaper after the meeting, Mr Serage said he did not receive any formal communication
about his suspension. As such he regarded himself still as the chairman of the organisation. he denied any wrong
problems doing, saying that he could prove to the members that all his actions thus far has been in the interest of the

to earn themselves a place amongst the top three in many items. Those who came first,

Juniors
The Burgersfort United Football Club Juniors played a match against team Barcelona
(Lydenburg Juniors) on Sunday, 2 August.
The match was played at Lydenburg Primary. The players performed very well,
especially considering that it was the first match ever played against an outside team.
During the first half the teams were very evenly matched, but during the second half the
Burgersfort side showed their strength.
They first scored through a penalty goal and then managed to take another goal from the
side.
The players of the match were Suhail Gori who scored both goals and Abdullah Amod
who was the best goalkeeper.
The Club is planning a tournament just after the September holidays. They are also
inviting all children between the ages of 8 and 15 to join them for fun soccer games.
“We are very proud of the team and they played extremely well,” said their coach Faizal
Abdullah.
