Well Guys Words can not express what i truly feel inside and makes me even more proud of every single member that contributed towards Today.

Frazer Thank you once again for everything. :thumbs:

AS i was speaking to some of the ladies at the charity their eyes filled with tears of joy, A member can not comprehend the amount of appreciation and emotions, and thankfulness from every staff member there if you have not experienced this in real life, and the compassion they have for the kids.

Thank you to all the fanatics that attended. This was by far one of the biggest turnouts ever in any event i have attended. You are a special Bunch of Guys and Girls. :bravo: Thanks Petri and your group that drove from North West to attend this event. :thumbs:

Frazer please convey our appreciation to the Metro Police in their participation.

It was nice seeing all the familiar faces and meeting some of the "new members" that i missed on previous events.

Fanatics appreciation to ALL.

Dippies.

Well done to all that participated and attended, and a special well done to Fraser for all his hard work!

Rep added.

And again, I'm sorry for pulling out so late :sorry:

I said that to a woman I dated once.
I'm still paying.

Your new name should be "joker".
Ou grapgat.

I quite like that actually.......

That can be arranged. "The Jonker" under your username, instead of "///Member" :fencelook:

You have my blessing. Thanks.

Sorted. :thumbs:

Well, it was a 400km round trip for me and the wife and our son.

Left Klerkenshire around 8:00 and was at Vaalridge BMW in Vereeniging around 9:30 with Petri to meet up with Luis, Herman and Flash.

Left around 10:00 to meet up with Tmoney at the Engen one stop and then hit the road to the shopping centre from there.

I was officially the LAST BMW in the convoy!!! :rollsmile:

Was an awesome experience and I would like to thank each and every fanatic that attended and that made a contribution! I am soooo very proud to be associated with the BMW Fanatics! :thumbs:

I am also very impressed with all the fanatics that took their children with them to show them what it is to give and help those less fortunate!! If we hope to leave a legacy, it must be one of compassion and love.

To the organizers : Kudos!! Bravo!! and Salutations!!

Our family has vowed to make this a yearly tradition!

Well done to all the fanatics that attended... and those that didnt but also contributed. This was officially my first meet with the group and it was awesome! There are some real characters amongst us which makes for a great time!

Had the opportunity to chat to the lady who runs the kitchen and prepares meals for all the kids. She was totally overwhelmed with all the contributions and eventually broke down. She told us how at times there is actually nothing in the kitchen which she can prepare in order to feed the kids. It was heart wrenching!
In light of this conversation I've managed to arrange that foodstuffs get delivered to them every 2 to 3 weeks.

Fraser, it was fantastic meeting you and kudos to you for what you have managed to pull off today. Please can you let me know if foodstuffs should go to the same venue that we were at today or to an alternative location?

Who can i check with whether the cash deposit made yesterday has cleared as well?

Thank you so much for this awesome event, to all that organized and to all that supported, it was very touching especially when we drove in and seeing all the children screaming with excitement, it was a huge blessing for us to be able to help the children and people there.
I felt extremely proud of being part of BMWFANATICS
Thankyou

I don't know if you realize it but you yourself and your ongoing donation of foods has already confirmed a legacy in itself.
Well done to both you and your family for having such compassion.

Delivery would be at the same venue and contact Executor (Tiaan)
For anything you need with regards to the banking particulars.

:argh: I missed the run! :argh: We had the car all packed but left a bit late. On the way, I had a nasty blowout at 120km/h. And it took ages to get the wheel off!

My car's wheel arch got damaged and the ABS/ASC light came after we fitted the spare. But that is just material! I missed the most important part - seeing the joy of the people at the event!

Great to see it went so well! My day was an epic misery.



My little girls with the goodies for charity:


We are so disappointed that we could not make it! Great work, guys!

We hope to drop off all the stuff early in the week to Compass.

Glad you and the family are ok prado. Would have been nice to meet you though.

One thing is missed today was being able to interact with the kids. Only saw their smiling faces and cheers when we drove in... thereafter i have no idea where they disappeared to.
