Spier Conference Centre, Stellenbosch : GFW

Abstract

Wow, an absolutely fabulous weekend! I believe the dream and vision to develop such a programme was thought of by Dr Chris Kassianides, in August 2009, and to finally see it culminate into a successful reality is in itself a great achievement.

I can still remember when Karin Fenton sent me an e mail with the provisional invitation. I was so excited that it was an opportunity to meet my new friends that I made on my trip to Amsterdam, not so long ago, I couldn't wait.

The day had finally come and I left for the airport during the early hours of the morning. After arriving in Cape Town, we were met by a driver, Graham, who was to take us to Stellenbosch. What a character, his typical Cape accent and humor kept us entertained all the way to our destination - The Spier Hotel.
