Kids Club November Outing to Midmar Nature Reserve
Thanks so much to our KIDS and their mums and dads who came with us to Midmar Dam. Although the weather was overcast and wet, the rain held off until lunch time and we had a great morning’s Nature Walk with Kevin McCann, our pet Ranger! 10 KIDS donned their yellow floppy hats and life-belts and were ferried across the dam by two Honorary Officers and the Kids Club conveners, to search for small grassland creatures; signs of small mammals, including DUNG and vertebrae; birds; flora and grasses. To add to the excitement, the swallows flew low over their heads and the temptation to run after them was great!!!
After many shouts of “Kevin, look at this”, we returned to the boats and headed back for Alex’s scrumptious picnic lunch. Clutching cocktail sausages and cherry tomatoes, a group of Kids found Di’s Snakes and Ladders table. Their dice was a small pointed leaf; for counters they each chose a “nut” from their lunch-plate; everyone rolled the “leaf-dice”. Needless to say, all rolled a “six” – heartening to see techno kids playing with such imagination!!!

We made it!!! The Kids Club logo and slogan, along with the Talu the Baby Rhino have been trademarked. We were delighted by your response to the concept and successfully launched the Kids Club at the Midlands Liberty Mall on 18 November 2008.
The Stand was manned by our enthusiastic Rhino Club and Reservations staff. Yellow and green branded balloons were a great attraction – well, to be truthful, not to ALL!!! One miniature visitor to the Stand ( Sarah!!) asked us to please take the balloons away, after Zama POPPED one!!
The Starter pack (Backpack – VERY good quality, all-purpose bag) appealed to both parent and child. The child saw the “lovely goodies” inside the bag and the Baby rhino; the Mums and Gogos saw “a great bag for all occasions, including school”.

COARSE FISHING
Our Editor quotes: “Since time immemorial man has sought to catch fish. To begin with this was primarily for food but, over the millennia, coarse fishing has grown into probably the most popular leisure sport in the UK.
The definition of ‘coarse fishing’ is the fishing for any freshwater fish, other than salmon or trout, which are considered game fish. These include roach, perch, tench, carp, bream, rudd, pike and chub, to name but a few. These fish are all returned to the water alive, and unharmed.
There are many types of coarse angler, ranging from the pleasure angler, through the match angler to the specialist anglers and specimen hunters”.

“I caught a FISH” or “speared a BIG ONE” has all sorts of hidden meanings. In fishing story-telling, small boys and girls always catch BIG fish; Big boys and girls catch even bigger fish. The size is always dependent on how wide you can stretch your arms out sideways!
Every fisherman has a tale to tell, from shore angling to ski boat.
What can you tell us about your fishing experience with hook and line; spear or bare hands!!!

Mrs Bradshaw writes… “just to place on record my sincere thanks for the wonderful weekend at Ithala Game Reserve in the Ntshondwe Lodge (which was second prize in your photo competition) – the whole reserve and is amazing and at Ntshondwe Lodge itself, the accommodation, private pool, awesome outlook from the pool deck and staff are top class. My family had a wonderful time and, apart from your bathroom facilities, sunken lounge and access to the pool deck at the lodge, the reserve was most accessible for my daughter who is in a wheelchair. We will certainly be visiting Ithala “.
