Die 2de been van die Nasionale 4x4 Uitdaagreeks vind plaas buite Potchefstroom by Raaswater op Saterdag 2 April 2005.

Deelnemers sluit van die groot 4x4 manne in. Daar is reeds 30 inskrywings tot op datum ontvang. Deelnemers wat kom deel neem sluit 'n paar vorige kampioene in en sal beslis sorg dat daar geen tekort aan aksie is nie.

Klas 4 (tweewiel aangedrewe voertuie) wat altyd baie belangstelling by die skare wek, het reeds 5 inskrywings wat onder andere insluit Charl Spies, Herman Barnard en Chris Pistoruis. Wesvaal se eie Herman Weppener wat verlede jaar die streekskampioene in hierdie klas was sal egter nie deelneem.

KLERKSDORP WATER FESTIVAL IS COMING

This annual event has been a huge success and is held in Klerksdorp.

"The slightest suggestion of the two events to run on different dates is not an option, the success of the event is in the combination of National and Local organisers working together", Sandy Botha - Divisional Head Marketing for The City Council mentioned at a meeting which was held in Klerksdorp on 15 March 2005.

"The event has huge financial spin off's for local businesses and brings thousands of people to Klerksdorp. It must continue to do so." 

Klerksdorp Water Festival/Formula 1 Power Boat Challenge will be taking place in Klerksdorp at The Klerksdorp Dam  on 16 and 17 April 2005.

Support and response which was received from the local business community, media, City Council and main sponsors of the event was phenomenal.

An emergency meeting was held with both organisers Klerksdorp Water Festival and Formula 1 Power Boating SA, appealing to them to bring both events under 1 banner ended favourably.

It was agreed that the two events will not be split in the interest of the Klerksdorp community.

Phil Louw of Danlou Motors who was originally responsible for bringing National Formula 1 power boat racing to Klerksdorp waters pulled all stops available to him and agreed to run the Klerksdorp Water Festival in conjunction with the National Formula 1 Power Boat Championships. The event promises to be bigger and better this year.

A new transparent and structured committee has been formed to assist the previous organisers of the event this year.

This committee will endeavour to make the event a huge success once again.

The main objective of the committee is to involve the broader community who should be benefiting in various financial spin off's available to them from the activities needed for the event i.e.

food stalls, accommodation, entertainment, marketing opportunities etc.

Many activities are planned on and off the water and Klerksdorpians can be assured of two days with fun and entertainment.

There will be many branding opportunities for all businesses of Klerksdorp.

Please contact Sandy Botha on (018) 484 7003 or Elmarie Fuhri on 082 894 5362 for more information on sponsorship opportunities and more information on how to get involved.
