For all you Optima Brethren now residing in Cape Town or area, here is an invite for a Masonic Braai.... Details attached.....
Well Here are a few photo's of the Optima Lodge Braai at Keiths place today... how many faces do you recognise?
Looks like Keith Brooks top row left ... battling with others ...
Bottom row, left hand side..... Ginger and Ursula....
Ok I also got Keith Brooks, the lady almost behing him is his wife. Ursula and Ginger I also got. Now the guy in the front with the blue and white stipped shirt looks like Allan Jones. The lady on the right middle in the green and white stripped shirt was the hairdresser (her name on the tip of my tongue)......Heather?????
I got Keith Brooks. Ginger and Ursula. Heather Jones and in front of her is her husband Cliff Jones.
The only 'thing' I recognise is the 'Oranjemund-style half-barrel braai' ....
Top row 2nd from right is my boet Lance. Bottom row 5th from left is my mom Stephanie. Two away from my mom (next to Ginger & Ursula is my aunt Di Faiers - they left O'mund in the 70's.

Wow, that was sooooo nice - I too recognised quite a few of the faces - some of the names were also "tip-of-the-tonguers" but thanks to those that named them.

Here is another snap I found on the wall down at the Lodge this week, a get together from a few years back..... this event was also held in Tableview....
Theres my dad "Fred" back right (check shirt) he passed away exactly a year later so this could well be the last photo taken of him. Mom "Elsie" taking up the "Queens" position center front.
Princess Diana, do you perhaps have the year?

The 2007 one was held 6 days after my father died.

Ok Sandy just modified my post to read "my father died. It did sound like I meant Keith Brooks.
