The Sou’Westers’ last toured South Africa in 1999, over the Easter break, playing 7 games against Fish Hoek, Groot Drakenstein, Stellenbosch Farmers Winery, Western Province XI, Hermanus, Claremont and Techs. C.C. The tour was a great success and there has long been interest amongst many club members for a return visit.

A similar tour is now proposed for Easter 2012 . Planning and negotiations have been underway since March 2010. We will play similar teams again, being based in Cape Town but this time on the coast at Sea Point. This again promises to be an unforgetable tour.

Players and Club Members will shortly be e-mailed with more details including timing and basic costs. With this information at hand, which will cover senior players, members and families with young children, I hope you will be persuaded to join the tour.
