[Cancelled] Talk by Gert Claassen on The Lost City in The Jungles of Brazil — 24th March
Unfortunately we have had to postpone the the planned talk "on the lost city in the jungles of Brazil" by Gert Claassen on 24 March 2020 at 18H00 scheduled to take place in Crassula Hall.
The reason for this is that we feel that we want to act in a responsible manner in protecting our community with the advent of the COVID-19 Virus. It is intended to hold this talk at a later stage and we will keep our members informed when this is to take place.
Be safe out there,

BETTYS BAY RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION & HANGKLIP COMMUNITY CARE CENTRE PRESENT A TALK BY GERT CLAASSEN ON THE LOST CITY IN THE JUNGLES OF BRAZIL - CRASSULA HALL 24TH MARCH 2020 @ 18H00
Gert Claassen, our speaker, has over the past 10 years played a leading role in the Hermanus cultural and educational communities. He was not only Chairperson of U3A (University of the third age) but also presented authoritative talks on a wide variety of subjects that kept his audiences spell-bound. By profession he is an electrical engineer and has held various top managerial positions in the SABC, the Industrial Development Corporation and the Development Bank of Southern Africa.
He worked for 10 years in the USA and traveled extensively through all 50 states and with numerous follow-up visits - a feat that only a few Americans can claim to have done. The travel bug really bit him and today there are only a few countries in the world he hasn't yet visited.
One of these visits will be the source of his topic namely "The lost city in the jungles of Brazil" . Come and listen to his absorbing talk on his prior research and actual visit to this remote city in a Brazilian jungle.
The talk will be supplemented with fascinating video material. The truth of the rise and fall of this city will boggle the mind!
Come and listen to Gert at 18H00 on 24th March 2020 in the Crassula Hall.
