New PTB Website Please visit the temporary Piketberg Tourism website: http://www.piketberg.yolasite.com/ Although the site is still under construction, please feel free to email me any comments or suggestions.

Golf Fundraiser One of the key drivers for Piketberg Tourism is to re-open the Mountain Hike from Piketberg to Wittewater/Goedverwacht during 2012, there are some existing funds available towards re-establishing this much needed tourism attraction which will benefit

and therefore raise the profile of the town of Piketberg in the years ahead. To this end a small fundraiser fun afternoon will be held on or around the afternoon of Friday 25th of November 2011 at the PPC De Hoek golf. A small prize giving/raffle/fundraiser will be held after the golf activity at Feathers Inn at the top end of Church Street, with all proceeds raised on the day going towards Piketberg Tourism‟s fund to re-establish the hike next year.

If your company is interested in either entering a fourball or donating a team prize or even refreshments during the golf activities it would be highly appreciated. All donations/participations will be mentioned on the day as part of us all working together to help put Piketberg firmly on the Tourism map. Please contact George at 022 913 3651 or 082 760 3464 for more information. That‟s all from my side. Enjoy the weekend. Take care.
