This year’s BibberChill Fees/Festival takes place on Saturday, 27 June.
Gerhard Wilken has been elected chairman of the organising committee.
Planning meetings have been notable for the enthusiasm shown by people of all ages to ensure that this year the festival is at least as successful as last year.
Although there is still support for the annual event being held within the town, the lack of a suitable alternative venue to the golf course made it the most obvious choice for 2009.
A full programme of events, including sheep shearing and cycling for all ages will be backed up by a selection of popular entertainers, as well as stalls selling a variety of goods and services.
A much improved public address system will provide constant commentary throughout the day, ensuring that visitors are kept fully informed, minute by minute, of what is happening around them.
Attention is being paid to the ease of access to the golf course. Last year the large crowds drawn to BibbrChill resulted in queues of cars forming at the gate. The new reception arrangements will enable incoming visitors to be dealt with more speedily.
Once again, Ou Grietjie will be brought in from the Museum to announce the opening of the BibberChill. It will be fired at intervals throughout the day.
