The Tulbagh Valley Heritage Foundation will hold their AGM at Paddagang on Wednesday the 4th September from 4 to 5.30pm. A Bar service will be available. The minutes of our last AGM in 2022 is attached. I am embraced to admit how little progress there has been on so many of these issues that were highlighted at that time. I hope with new energy and drive, we can agree to resuscitate these abandoned aspirations and plans.
Jayson Augustyn-Clark will not be running for Chairman again, so a vote for the new chair will take place. Please send any nominations via email to [email protected] or 082 0450 127
