| Vaal Reefs Gliding Club wishes to encourage glider pilots and their spouses, to visit our club during this December through to February 2003. Our summer soaring conditions in the southern hemisphere are ideal, especially for pupils, who can receive instruction and accumulate flying hours! Your stay here can be made even more enjoyable as we can arrange horse riding outrides in a game park, gold mine under ground tours, diamond prospecting in your diamond claim, visits to the Anglo Boer war sites, trips to Sun City, the "Las Vegas" of South Africa, golfing, white water rafting and much more! We will also arrange for your visits to other Gliding Clubs in South Africa. The extremely favourable GBP/Euro exchange rate to the South African currency, ZAR, will make the cost of your trip very inexpensive (currently 1GBP = 15.66ZAR or 1Euro = 10.05ZAR). Fountain Villa, a Victorian Villa and a declared National Monument, is an extremely comfortable Guest Lodge in Klerksdorp and will participate in this tour initiative by offering bed and breakfast at a daily rate of 11GBP, per person, provided that the stay is 5 days or longer and that at least 6 guests are included in each reservation.
