April club outing to Spier Wine Estate

Diverse photo opportunities

Report by Andre Mouton

On the crisp morning of April 21, a group of eager CTPS
members — Mike De Villiers, Rudi Pothas, Lesley and
Lambe Parolis, accompanied by Lesley's sister Gail Salter,
Robert Maginley, Irma Mackenzie, Sally-Ann Spooner,
Melanie and Sean Neetling and myself — gathered to
explore the Spier Wine Estate.
Despite the setback of the recent closure of the Eagle
Encounters, our outing to Spier was full of photographic
opportunities and enjoyable moments.
Upon arrival, the group quickly ventured out into the
sprawling grounds of the estate to explore the beauti-
fully restored buildings, landscapes, capturing the bird
life around the dams, and looking for some street pho-
tography opportunities around the picnic area. Farm Café for freshly brewed coffee and delights from
We capped off our outing with a leisurely brunch at the the Deli before heading home.
