• Must be formally established
• Must be a legal entity
• Must have proven capability or be able to demonstrate competence.
How can this meeting help?• By creating a small joint working group of A&C, DEAT
and HUB representatives to workshop options.
• By identifying ‘Kick-start projects’ (e.g. TMNP ?)
• By supporting an appropriate Draft Constitution (BOE)

The Oldest Working Battery of Original Guns in the World
PMG note: graphics not included, please email [email protected]
The previous two pictures of a gun salute were taken recently in
Hout Bay to honour the visit of the Swedish ship “Götheborg” ....
perhaps the most ambitious ‘living
heritage’ project ever undertaken in modern
times.
Launched in June 2003, it is the largest wooden ship afloat and is a replica of a
c.1745 East Indiaman which is now on its
way to China.
It has captured the imagination of many countries across the
world and has created enormous national pride in her own country and their
Heritage.
