Brand in Bettysbaai!

Boosdoeners het vanoggend net voor sesuur 'n brand op 'n leë erf in Bettysbaai gestig. Net die wakker oë van 'n buurtwagter en die vinnige optrede van Bettysbaai se vrywillige brandweer, CapeNature en die munisipale brandweer het 'n ramp voorkom.
Die brand het langs Kreupelhoutstraat tussen Fourstreams- en Lipkinstrate ontstaan. Met die suidoostewind van agter sou dit 'n hele straatblok bedreig het.
Die buurtwagsameroeper in die Jock se Baai-gebied het dadelik die brandweer, Cape Nature en die naasliggende huise geskakel. Die polisie en ook die spanne wat marine-stropery beveg is ook onmiddellik ingelig, omdat dit bekend is dat die misdadigers die wetstoepassers en publiek se aandag met brande probeer weglei.
Die vinnige en doeltreffende optrede van al die betrokkenes en ook die feit dat die plantegroei op die brandende erf inheems was, nie hoog was nie en dus nie 'n hoë brandlading verteenwoordig het nie, het meegebring dat die brand binne 'n halfuur doodgespuit is.
Dit is blykbaar die soveelste opsetlik gestigte brand in Bettysbaai in die afgelope week. Inwoners moet asseblief hul oë oophou en sorg dat hulle 'n lys met noodnommers byderhand het.

AGM Minutes - 19 Dec 2014

MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING  HELD ON FRIDAY, 19 DECEMBER 2014 IN THE CRASSULA HALL AT 18H00

1. OPENING AND WELCOME

The Chairman extended a word of welcome to all present, especially all the new members.  He welcomed Councillor L. Krige and thanked her for taking the time to attend the AGM.   He said he was delighted with the attendance, but felt that a number of the members had not attended due to the fact that both the Chairman’s and Treasurer’s Reports had been sent out early.   The Chairman informed the meeting that it had been decided to hold the meeting on the 19^th as so many members had complained that the 27^th was in the middle of the Christmas festivities with their families.   He said that it was difficult to please everyone and requested that members inform the committee of a date which they felt was more acceptable.

32 members attended the meeting.
