I know that there were some plans afoot to do an overnight stay but it is geared ofr oeverseas pockets and Louise understands that for a casual overnight stay it is out of most of our pockets. She did mention that there are some great camping sites in the vicinty and that she would be happy then to arrange for day trippers and game visits etc.
I obviously as a Kapie with no knowledge of the area, haven't a clue wha tto recommend as a site in the area. Tsaneen Tourism Centre apparently would be able to help further on this issue.
I think also it needs to be done on a more official sort of level. Maybe something along the lines of...
Hi Louise
As you are aware, we have made you and your wild dogs in particular our official charity. We are planning a trip and thank you, yes, will speak to Tzaneen Tourism info centre about camping sites relatively close by, but if we do pitch for a day trip with 20 or so people, what are our options?
I know that this has been tentatively explored by one or two of our members, but we are now very keen to make this happen. Further to that, to ensure that we help in the best way, can we help arrange fundraisers, how would you like us to disseminate information, can we help with arranging a raffle etc. and possibly can we discuss those ideas with you to see how we can further the good work you do?
I am sure she will really respond well to a mail like this and I will certainly, as mentioned before, find time to organise a fundraiser down here in Cape Town and help you with a venue in Johannesburg should anybody wish to takcle this....
Thanks
