de Vere & Partners

Tickets have to be presented at the entrance to be entered into the draw. All attendees' names and contact numbers will be provided to the official sponsor.

My sincere apologies for not having posted the photographs of the Masquerade on the web as of yet. Unfortunately there seems to have been a mechanical malfunction with the camera used and most of the photos are very poor. I will however post the better ones, as well as others we have taken, as soon as possible. If anyone has some nice pics of the event that we can post on the web, please let me know by e-mail: welgemoeds@qatar.net.qa.

QATAR'S BOEREWORS CHAMP FOR 2006/2007

Well, what great fun you missed if you didn't join us for the Boerewors Championships in October! Everyone had great fun and we're definitely planning on making this an annual event due to the huge success. The Boerewors Champions for 2006 was Deric Madgwick, Francois de Kock and Reino Retief's team with the "Worsfabriek" in a very close second place. All the contestants made for some great tasting and excellent Boerewors Rolls and everyone had a great time.

Questions & Answers
Question:
What type of activities can one get into - out of working hours?
  Answer:
Buying a boat and/or quad bikes are the most sought after activities. People enjoy the outdoors, sand and sea. Clubbing is not big but there is a little of that. Camping, shopping and that is about it. Of course traveling, because everything is close by and the airlines often offer promotions to take advantage of.
