BARBEL FISHING COMPETITION

Volgens die Departement van Waterwese is daar te veel Karp en Barber in die dam ,en moet die getalle verminder word.

Ons het besluit om ‘n kompetisie te hou en die gemeenskap en hengelaars te betrek.

Die vis wat gevang word sal alles aan die plakkerskampe geskenk word om die ergste kosnood te help verlig.

Die hengelaars neem deel in twee kategoriee naamlik junior (onder 16) en senior.

Daar sal van elke inskrywing R100 geneem word om as prysgeld te dien, so hoe meer deelnemers hoe meer prysgeld.

Kom geniet die dag saam met ons en doen sommer jou goeie daad terwyl jy jou sport beoefen.

 - Quaggaskloof Dam

The common barbel is indigenous to most of South Africa except the Western Cape. They were introduced into the Breede Valley several years back without any formal permission from CapeNature and unfortunately their population surged.

The same method of angling used for carp can be used for catching barbel. To lure them in more effectively its advised to make use of flesh baits such as chicken livers and fish heads. Barbel are omnivorous and will eat almost anything they can scavenge. Light tackle lures and large flies can also be used. Barbel can grow to well over 20kg and can give a good fight.

There are no catch restrictions for this alien species as it's a pest and has a negative impact on the indigenous species and alien species such as bass. It's advised that all barbel caught in the Breede River area and Quaggaskloof Dam should be either consumed or given dead to people who need the food. Barbel are at their most delicious when smoked.

Earthdance Cape Town 2012 – The Global Party For Peace

The Earthdance vision is to unite the whole world through the universal platform of dance and music. Each year like-minded people across the planet at over 300 Earthdance events in over 60 countries come together in celebration of non-stop music, dance and peace.

This year, Earthdance Cape Town has a lot more surprises in store for you and we have major line up announcements for both the Origin Stage and RedBull Music Stage. So keep a look out for updates to come!

Theme: Year of the Woman

Addressing this year’s theme, all Earthdance events will focus on causes that work to promote gender equality and empower women, while fostering peace and harmony with each other and our Mother Gaia.

Earthdance believes that increasing women’s access to quality education, meaningful employment, land and other resources is vital to the sustainable development and evolution of humanity in the 21st century and beyond.

The Earthdance Global Link-Up for Peace

The highlight of the annual multi-location Earthdance Festival is a simultaneous link up, when every event across the world plays the Prayer for Peace at the exact same moment – morning in the Australian rainforest, afternoon in California, midnight in London, and sunrise over the Himalayas – the Prayer for Peace is a profound and powerful moment that unifies our intentions for World Peace on all levels.

A quiet communal space for sharing of ideas, Meditation, Workshops & Talks, Yoga, pre-’Prayer for Peace’ gathering, Ceremony, Sacred Space, Acoustic Jamming (bring your instruments), Dreamweaver Jungle Gym for the young kids
