Forge In at Paul and Wiebke Mikula, Hekpoort

Hi everybody,

For those that are coming to the Forge In on the Saturday of the 28th November 2009 at Paul and Wiebke's plot, to close off the year, here is what is happening.

You are welcome from about 8.30 AM.
Paul has got the steel and the coal, just bring your safety gear and hammer and some handtools.

Bring your own food and drinks for the during the day, and everything for the Bring and Braai. Some charcoal is welcome. To relief Wiebke, also bring your own plate, eating utensils and cups, dish drying cloth, toilet paper, camp chair. Make sure you bring everything, because the nearest shop is about 30 km from the plot.
We are all going to make Christmas gifts and everybody that made or brought something goes home with something. It’s all about enjoying the day, and learning from each other. You can bring friends, as long as they share a real interest in Blacksmithing.

From 16.00 hr we will probably start braaing (barbequeing) and eat and chat till you go home, 21.00 party is over, everybody will probably be too tired to make it later than that.

How to get there:

Take the R512 past Lanseria airport towards Broederstroom.
At the T-junction turn Left
Travel straight past the Hartebeespoort dam on your Right hand side
At the T-junction turn Left
After 12 km turn Right into dirt road Hartebeesfontein road
After you passed over the Bridge, at the T-junction go left
After 300 m you see Paul’s place marked by a big pair of Blacksmith Tongs on the Left
Turn in the Drive way and drive through to the smithy.

Hope to see you there,
If you get lost phone Paul at 083 400 9983

Blacksmith greetings,
