Meat and greet at Fairburn Hall

Friends, neighbours and supporters of the Fairburn Community Hall have been invited to this year’s ‘Meet the Neighbours’ barbecue for Sunday lunch.

“This year we are going to put up a braai, so we’ll burn some wood and [hopefully won’t] burn some meat,” hall chairman Peter Niepel said.

“We’ll bring the braai, put up a gazebo and throw some hay bales on to the lawn to sit on.

“All you have to do is bring some meat and sausages, a salad to share if you feel like it, something to keep yourself well hydrated and have a good time.

“It is always a great day to hang out, have some very intelligent conversations about fishing, rugby and too much/too little rain etc. Just the stuff rural folk talk about when they have a good time. We have some games in mind for the old and the young kids too.”

It will all start at noon, no charge, BYO. There will also be a swap table, from which people will be free to take whatever they like, as long as they replace it with something else.

“That can be fruit, pickles, home-made jam, flowers etc. Doesn’t matter,” Peter added.

“If you don’t have anything to share we’ll put up a donation box and you can share some of your money. Just to keep it easy.”
