 Inland Sea Trip - Friday, 30 October 2009
Short notice, we know! But...
With the weather cooling down rapidly now here in Doha, we thought it would be great to do an Inland Sea Trip sooner rather than later. If we forfeit this chance, we will only be able to do it again sometime in March next year and that's a very long wait...
So, please join us on Friday, 30 October 2009 for lovely day at the Inland Sea. The convoy will depart from Sealine Beach Resort in Mesaieed (just after the R/A in front of the entrance on the right hand side of the road) at 9:00am sharp. Please arrive early to attend the briefing as to the do's and don'ts of driving in the desert.
You need to bring:
- Cozzies and towels
- Some shade (cazebo's or umbrellas)
- Camping chairs
- Sunscreen
- Lunch (anything goes, from hammies to samies to braaivleis)
- A lot to drink
4x4 vehicles are required for this trip. If you would like to go along, but do not have a 4x4, please contact us. We will try our best to accommodate you.
We look forward to a great day of fun in the sun for old time's sake before the Doha winter sneaks up on us.
Regards
The SASCOM Team |

Braai in Qatar woestyn, Andries du Toit
Ongeveer 170 Suid Afrikaners het met 44 karre gaan braai by die Singing Dunes naby Doha in Qatar. Dit was 'n heerlike 35 grade buite. Hier is 'n groepfoto van almal wat daar was. Kyk mooi en julle sal sien dat iemand 'n Weg tydskrif omhoog hou.
Thanks for this Andries!!

Braai Event - Friday, 25 September 2009
Welcome back to those fortunate enough to explore and enjoy the world beyond Qatar and hello again to those who kept things going here!
With Ramadan going strong and Eid just around the corner, SASCOM has been off to a slower start than usual.
However... we are planning a BRAAI for those of us that will be here during Eid (on Friday, 25 September).
Brace yourself as you read Alex's irresistible invitation:
 "In my geestesoog sien ek 'n lekker informele bymekaarkoms van eensgesinde Suid-Afrikaners met net een doel in sig: om 'n magdom vleis van elke moontlike spesie (behalwe vark natuurlik) om die moderne vleisaltare van weleer te offer in die naam van samesyn, goeie geselskap, sunny skies, rugby, krieket, wereldbeker 2010 en boerewors....mag die bedwelmde aroma van 'n gebraaide vleisie deur elke selferkende karnivoor se neusvleuls penetreer terwyl die vleisvure rookseine opstuur wat kommunikeer met ons ander braai-sielsgenote die wereldoor!
Come and celebrate our heritage together and have a day filled with fun, humour (that most around you can actually understand)... imagine scattered braai-fires all over the desert, and in the backdrop: a monstruous singing sandy dune....singing to your favourite nostalgic South African tune...
To help you get into the heritage spirit visit: www.braai4heritage.co.za
The GPS coordinates of the Dunes where you can find us is:

Well done to everyone that participated and contributed
to make this a great event. I most certainly want to
commend everyone who had the guts to enter for the 2

I would also like to thank everyone who did an hour
or so duty at the entrance: Leonora Crous, Charmaine
Grove, Marlene van Vuuren, Chemeney Matthysen, Allen
and Taryn Sampson, Sean & Heleen Kockott & Alison
Stander.
A big word of thanks too to everyone who helped at ANY
of the events or stalls. I don't even want to begin
specifying individuals, because I'm bound to miss out
on someone. Thanks to all of you too.
Thank you also to Doha Rugby Club for allowing us to
use their facilities to host this unforgettable event.
It is much appreciated.
Last, but most definitely not least, I want to say a
special word of thanks to the following people who made
this day possible, making contributions wherever they
can and not hesitating for a second to attend meetings
and jump in to do what was expected (and beyond):
Meyer Stander (Event Coordinator)

Event Coordinator)
Alison Stander & Alta Grobberlaar (Kiddies Activities
Coordinators)

Events and Cleaners Coordinators)

van Dyk ( Coordinators for various Adult Boeresports

hope to see all of you there! Please check our website
