"David Hall-Green's talk was excellent. He clearly spent a lot of time and effort researching his topic and preparing the slides - even going so far as to paint two illustrations to show the ship's anchorage in the bay and then how it broke free in the storm. The Plett Historical Society is to be congratulated on always managing to find new topics of local interest, after years of organising events and speakers. The society's events are very well organised and the accompanying refreshments/meals are tasty and a great way of enabling people to get to know one another. No wonder these events are popular and over-subscribed. "

"While I enjoyed Andrew's story telling, there was one ingredient missing in my opinion. At his Isandylwana talk, Andrew also recounted what the Zulus thought about the battle. It would have been interesting to hear what their opinions had been of Rorke's Drift. "

"Very good presentation, informative and interesting, thought provoking as to the urgency with what Government needs to assist with and to change the design of the South Coast of KZN shark nets from death traps to deterrents. A very well presented and well organized event and the venue was perfect."
