Following the recent highly successful "ghost tour" of the Castle of Good Hope the Cape Town Highlanders Regimental Association have decided to invite the public to once again experience the eerie appearance of Governor van Noodt, hear the story of the mysterious Grey Lady (and perhaps even see her--- or perhaps think that you saw her).

On Saturday, the 26th July 2014 The Durbanville Heritage Society invites you to a presentation on the “Battle of Blaauwberg” to celebrate the opening of the Durbanville Library Hall.

Francois Jacobs, of the "War Games Society" will display his collection of miniature soldiers in a re-construction of the historic "Battle of Blaauwberg" of 1806 which had a profound effect on the history of our country.

Guest speakers Major Willem Steenkamp and Mr Roy Fuller-Gee will present an overview of different aspects of the battle.

Refreshments and copies of Assegais, Drums and Dragoons by Willem Steenkamp will be on sale.

Venue: The Library Hall, Oxford Road, Durbanville
Time: From 10.00am until 3.00pm
