Members of the Pilanesberg Branch of the Dendrological Society have been privileged since December 2003 to visit JC & Linda Grobler's farm outside Boshoek on the road to Sun City for a year end function. This year it was no exception and members enjoyed a memorable event of hospitality at Ikutseng over the weekend of 28 November 2009.

During the year-end function, members are rewarded for their good work and service to the Dendrological Society and more specific to the Pilanesberg Branch over the past year.
The 2009 awards went to:

• Rita Colyn
