WESKUS JOU LEKKER DING

Here's some more information about the move of 'venue' as of Friday, April 18, 2025.

​
🌊 Our Weskus Jou Lekker Ding Braaidag is where our Facebook group members—the heart of our Weskus Jou Lekker Ding family—come together to braai, dance, and celebrate our love for Afrikaans and our braai traditions! 🥩🎶 It fills us and me personally with joy to see how you: our loyal members who have walked the path with us for years, and new friends who are now joining, laugh, swap stories, and live the West Coast vibes. 🕺💃 This Braaiadag is special for YOU—a day to hang out with family and friends, throw meat on the coals, and show what it means to be part of this unique group. 🔥 It's not a big, shiny festival, but a warm, genuine gathering where we can be ourselves, make noise, and enjoy life as only the West Coast can! 🥳

​
Buy your R100 ticket now on our website www.weskusjoulekkerding.co.za for the 3 May 2025 Braai Day at Knor Varkie Bergrivier! 🎟️ Why is that ticket worth its weight in gold? Because it’s your proof that you were part of our special day of the year, with a few little surprises for you as a ticket holder—nothing that will rock the world, but straight from our hearts to make you smile! 😄 Firstly, every ticket holder will receive a secret Braai Day 2025 gift from us as organizers—a little thank you for your support. 🎁 Secondly, if you feel like braaiing (and we pray everyone will light those coals, because that’s why we’re here!), you don’t have to bring your own wood—we’ll sort it for you! 🪵

​
Then there’s the drinks: Ticket holders get special discounts on drinks at Knor Varkie, like Charlotte’s legendary brandy and 2L Coke combo or a whiskey deal that will make your wallet smile. 🥃 Let’s be honest—how much can one person actually drink in a day? 😊 This makes the party super affordable! And to get the braai spirit going, every ticket holder gets a Riaan’tjie Braai Brooitjie to braai alongside your meat, which you bring with you because you’re allowed to bring in your own food! 😄 And of course, for those of us who find it too much trouble to braai ourselves that day, Knor Varkie has an awesome menu of food prepared by their restaurant. I know Ouma Maksie will be ordering from Charlotte’s kitchen again, just like in 2022, hehe! 😜 But Monica, your Blue Bulls-ass from Belgium, will be braaiing that day—I want to see if you can braai a Blue Bull steak, hehe! 🥩

Plus, you get a choice of four delicious salads, fresh bread with real butter, and who knows—maybe a piece of hake or snoek will sneak onto the table too! 🥗🍞🐟😉 With your unique bracelet (which you get after we scan your ticket on our Wix Event system), you’ll feel like a valued VIP. 🎉 That bracelet shows you’re one of our Weskus Jou Lekker Ding family, and lets us easily recognize you in the crowd as part of this special day—our way of giving our members extra love! 😊 Your ticket says: “I’m part of the Weskus Jou Lekker Ding family!”

​
We appreciate everyone who supports us, and for those who requested refunds after the venue change, we refunded them immediately. 🙏 But now time is up—the refund option is closed, because everyone had enough chance to respond to our email. This means we’re now fully focused on having fun at Knor Varkie! Your R100 helps us to hold these Braaidae year after year for our members, to try new things like our website, and to bring the brand new Weskus Jou Lekker Ding app, which is now ready, to everyone on the West Coast. The app will help you with easy access to events and special offers. 📱 Your support means we can grow this tradition and keep our group together for years to come for braai, music and friendship. 🌟

​
Yes, Knor Varkie means drinks are bought there, but the discount for ticket holders makes it a win-win. And unlike other places where we had to keep quiet, here we can make noise, dance until late and let the party rock! 🎤 At Knor Varkie, we are free to celebrate the West Coast spirit—and that's exactly what we're going to do. The economy may be pinching—really, we know it's not easy, we all feel it, times are tough. But luckily we South Africans are so strong; we can weather anything that comes our way! 💪 This annual Braai Day is a celebration of those of us who have survived another year of hardship and are still here, standing together and laughing. 😄 People are starting to whisper that our Braai Day feels a bit like a mini-festival party, but for now it is still our own, special gathering for our members—and YOUR ticket makes it possible! 🤙

​
Don’t miss out—buy your ticket now on our website and come braai, dance and hang out with us at Knor Varkie. Come celebrate the West Coast with us on a day that will bring us all closer together! 🥂 See you there for a day that we will all cherish! 🎉🔥
