Members in South Africa

[Oompie]

Lets see how many we can get in SA!!!! While it is a pretty big place we may just be able to get together even if in smaller groups. I know of several people, Dr Thomas Wagener, HJ van Zyl, Daan, Errol Swanepoel ens.

Lets also include Namibia what?

[Skouperd]

Good idea.

I am from Cape Town and willing to attend / drive to a meeting.
Weekends will suit me best though. Suggest other people also include where they reside and what days will suit them.

Adios

Thanks for this Oompie, I have been building a list of (real) names and e-mail adresses of SA Panoramios and I hope this thread will bring more to light. I have a list of about ten, mainly in the Gauteng area. Let's see what we can do. Let's mark each other a "favourite" with the star, so we can see who posts what.

Hi Daan, is it perhaps possible to list the names (the panoramio names) on here so that I could link them as favourites?

Seems the South Africans are not big in reading forums. Maybe a private message to some may evoke response?

You can also add comments in the photos taken in SA you think were taken by nationals and direct them to this thread. Check how active they have been in, say, the last six months before posting. It would be great if you can organize gatherings. This year will be celebrating the Panoramio Anniversary all around the world and those meetings are very important to gather and share!!

Good luck!

[Oompie]

Thanks Draken. Will do that but rest assured South Africa WILL have at least one gathering before the end of the year!! As thsi say watch this space!!!

[Daan Prinsloo]

Definitely in this year, and we're getting there. I'll send my provisional name list by e-mail to those who have responded to me and sent me their details.

Daan Prinsloo, Whees and Oompie met on 6 July 2011 at Oompie's home in Langebaan on the Cape West Coast - first meeting of Panoramio members in South Africa.
