The group managed to go on their first Camp at Gilray the 14 – 15 July 01. The group were thrown into the deep, but luckily Hein was allowed to camp with them. He managed to pull them through. I few certificates were achieved. Hein could not sleep the night as he had to prepare the camp for Sunday morning. We picked him up in a state of exhaustion. The team really tried their best under all the pressure a competition presents. The kids were just very unhappy with the judge. They presented him a whole chicken and was hoping to get something back, but to their dismay the judge kept the chicken for him. They were then left without food as they only prepared the one chick. Hope that will teach them a lesson to prepare 2 chicks next time. The group was woken up at 5am South African time and everyone still seemed disorientated that time of the morning. Warren was assigned to start the fire the morning but rather burned his fingers. The judges were very impressed with Kenake performance. Duimpie managed to assist the group with the quiz and the roping. Warren was the cook and had to present the toast and tea for the judge. Clayton and Dalton did roping. Ashley did the mapping and bearings. Ranaldo did the trail. Bruce did the needlework for the team.  Alwyn was the spectator and gave his moral support to the team. I think if there's one thing they learned out of this camp is the importance of teamwork and no to give all your food to the judges. They were all exhausted and hungry on their return journey. Well done boys. I think you've all done just great !
