SPRINGBOK CLUB BRANCHES
|
|
The Springbok Club currently has established
branches in the U.K. in London, Kent and Northern Ireland, as well as embryo branches in the
Chilterns, Hampshire, Lancashire and East Anglia. In addition there are national structures
in the process of being established in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the United States and Scandinavia.
If you are
interested in becoming actively involved with any of these branches or
structures - or founding any new branch or structure - then please e-mail : springbk@netcomuk.co.uk

The London Branch stages regular visits to places of
historical and national interest. The latest such trip was a conducted tour
of the historical sites of Stepney in 2013, and
their next event will be a trip to another interesting venue during the
spring of 2016.

The Kent Branch stages regular
away trips, braais and informal get-togethers. The
latest Kent Branch activity was a special gathering staged near Canterbury in December 2015 in order to commemorate
the Day of the Vow.

The Northern Ireland Branch holds meetings and
get-togethers both in Belfast and the Coleraine
areas. They also ensure that real South African flags are displayed in the
streets during the marching season. The latest Northern Ireland event was a pub gathering in Belfast during August 2011, which was
organised by the Springbok Club Northern Ireland Branch leader Neil Hanna.

It is planned to re-establish
the Hampshire Branch of the Springbok
Club with a re-launch gathering in the Southampton area during the summer of 2016.
