1. Two launches, and your invitation
You’re cordially invited to all or any of the TWO launches we are planning; here are the details to date, and if there are any changes we’ll let you know next week. All are welcome; no need to RSVP
30 August 2013 (Friday) at the Mountain Club of SA Club House in Hatfield Street, Gardens, Cape Town, at 8:00 for 8:30 pm
There’ll be a short presentation by the cartographer [20/25 mins], questions and signings, tea, coffee, snacks, some wine and maybe some gluhwein.
ALL Slingsby Maps will be on sale at 10% discount
A FEW ‘seconds’ [ie maps with dirty marks on the cover] of our new Hike the Cederberg map will be available for R100 cash on the nail to indigent students and other economically-disadvantaged persons.
ALL WELCOME (you don’t have to be an MCSA member)
13 September 2013 (yes, Friday 13th) at the Living Landscape hall, Park Road, CLANWILLIAM, at 12 for 12:30 pm
There’ll be a short presentation by the cartographer [20/25 mins], questions and signings, tea, coffee, snacks, and a glass of wine, so come and lunch with us before you finish your weekend shopping. ALL WELCOME
We will also make a special presentation in honour of the 40th birthday of the CEDERBERG WILDERNESS
2. No days left to buy at the pre-launch special price ...
Time has run out on our special offer, but you can still buy Hike the Cederberg online for only R225. Maps make great birthday and Christmas presents, and if you buy more than one copy you save on postage!
3. Cederberg Names: please visit, comment, contribute
The new blog is up and running ... as I write this we are up to letter P, with QR up soon [that’s about two-thirds through the 1300 names!]. PLEASE have a look at the blog and comment or, if you can, please contribute! We’d love to have a pic for every entry, so if you’d like to help then send in your pics, they can be low-res email pics ... and you will be acknowledged. This is a worthwhile project that will help researchers as well as just being of great interest to all who know and love the Cederberg. I’ve posted some sample entries on this blog, to whet your appetite ...
4. Spring flowers
It’s already a bumper year in flowerland, and if you don’t have a booking it’s probably too late. Compensate with a great DVD of more than 1400 images of Cape Flowers, most of them of publishable resolution, all of them named with botanical and common names. It makes a great gift, or screen saver and / or botanical guide, so get yours now for just R100 plus postage ...
5. New postage stamps
... were a disappointment. We understood that they were to feature Cederberg rock formations – but there is only one of those; the rest are all in other less-important places in the country ...
Go for it.
