Herman, you already found the South African Highveld Forum hosted on IForgeIron.com They post their events in their forum so check back from time to time.

Take some time and look around as there is most likely some of interest to you on the site. Welcome to IForgeIron.

Herman,
There will be a Dutch Market again at Oranjehof, in Kempton Park on 1st of May 2008. I give a blacksmithing demo there, and a few extra hands are always welcome. We could even set up an extra anvil; my forge is good enough for 2 smiths. One of theguys in our group, Nic Taylor, also a member here is planning a forge in, maybe in april or may, in Pretoria. I will announce it here when the date is set.

Slaan daai ysters!!!
Wim

Talking Dutch market at Oranjehof

Thanks for the feedback Wim.I'll gladly join the Demo.If you have a problem with heat I can bring along a gas forge (Postbox or Horisontal type).How about a scrolling Demo.Always popular and visually entertaining?

Just finished and delivered a garden table with extensive scrolling in it.So I been there recently and thoroughly done that, with more than my fair share of Murphy's thrown in.

More info closer to the time?

Slaat die yster terwyl hy warm is!
