The annual Winelands charity auction luncheon of the Paarl Rotary Club, in conjunction with the clubs of Riebeek Valley and Franschhoek Valley, was once again a great success. About 180 guests attended the event in ideal spring weather, and celebrity auctioneer Dan Nicholl had guests in stitches all day with his humorous patter.

AS we are approaching Christmas we can barely believe that 2024 is almost over. The highlight of this second quarter was of course our Wine Auction organised to perfection by our experienced team.
LEADERS. Five local students recently attended the Rotary Youth Leadership Adventure camp in the Franschhoek Mountains, sponsored by Paarl Rotary.

The annual Winelands cycle race, organised by Paarl Rotary, draws large numbers of cyclists. Here the first group starts on the route of 102 km to Riebeek Kasteel and back. The next race will be held on 26 January 2025 and starts and ends at Hugenote Primary in Wellington. To enter, visit www.winelandscyclerace.co.za.
Paarl, renowned for its illustrious history and haunting scenery, is situated 57 km from Cape Town in the winelands of the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is dominated by mountain ranges and the large granite outcrop of Paarl Rock, after which our town is named. The first settlers in the 17th century called the rock the Parel (Dutch for pearl) for the way it glistened after rain.
