Goeie idee jong! Het julle ouens al ‘n theme vir die Potjie naweek?

Ja Chris… BEEF !!

Did anyone go on the train ride in Rusk during the last Potjie weekend? My family would like to go this year and would like to know how it was?

EsmeMay 4th, 2009 at 10:01 am

not sure chris, but I think you have to reserve… will try and find out :)

JohnMay 4th, 2009 at 10:45 am

Chris, check out the posting I made this morning about Texas Potjie festival. There isn’t anything about the train in there, but I thought you might find it interesting anyway.
Thanks to everyone for your comments so far! :-)

Thanks, John – I just read it.

ChrisAugust 18th, 2009 at 1:44 pm

Thanks for the program you guys posted – that will help us a lot to plan this busy weekend.

Is there any change for "us okes" who don't mind getting up early, to watch the SA/Aus game live with you?

johnelsAugust 18th, 2009 at 11:44 pm

You're welcome, Chris. The Reinhardts (Hugh) organized the rugby, so I'm not sure if we can watch it live. I agree that watching it live is definitely much more exciting, so you may not be the only one who is willing to get up early for the game. I'll check with Hugh.

MichelAugust 19th, 2009 at 6:01 pm

I am in Frisco and will be watching the rugby pretty early. If you know of anyone in this area that want to grab it early, they are welcome. If someone is interested i will post my phone number and my email

EsmeAugust 19th, 2009 at 6:53 pm

Hey Michel,,, are you gunna be at the Potjie in Rusk or in Frisco ? We have the Hall at the potjie set-up for the rugby on Sat. morning, but not sure it will be at 4am… hehe ;-)
