❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️IMPORTANT UPDATE ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
🇿🇦🚤 NEW DATE – AND WHAT A PERFECT DATE! 🚤🇿🇦
OPENING OF THE VAAL RIVER’S BOATING SEASON
NOW: HERITAGE DAY – THURSDAY, 24 SEPTEMBER 2026
High winds are forecast on the Vaal River for this Saturday, 5 September - and with hundreds of boats involved, safety comes first!
So we’re moving our wonderful family day on the river to Heritage Day – a Public Holiday – Thursday, 24 September!
And actually… what better day could there be? 🇿🇦
The Opening of the Vaal River’s Boating Season is all about celebrating our river, our boats, our families, our flags, our gees and being proudly South African - exactly what Heritage Day is about!
☀️ Hopefully warmer weather
🇿🇦 Even MORE South African gees
🚤 Same flotilla
📍 Same meeting points
⏰ Same times
🎉 Same arrangements
❤️ Just a new - and rather perfect - date!
And instead of watching the Boks play the All Blacks afterwards… hopefully we’ll be celebrating the Boks having WON the series! 🇿🇦🏉
So change the date - not the plans!
SEE YOU ON THE VAAL THIS HERITAGE DAY!
Thursday, 24 September 2026
Same time. Same place. Same arrangements. EVEN MORE GEES! 🇿🇦🚤
