AN announcement for our patrons, friends, staff, the media, breeders and groupies:  There will be no Mike de Kock Xmas party this year due to our traditional last Friday of November party day clashing with the second day of the Emperors CTS Ready To Run Sale at Randjesfontein.

There aren’t many standard livers able to endure a week as socially demanding as this one, with a major Sale and the Summer Cup on the agenda, and Diane de Kock said:  “Let’s call this a gap year for the Mdk Xmas Party, we hope to resume again next year. We’ve had many enquiries, some people thinking we have left them off the list of invitations, but we haven’t. There is just no party this year.”

Socialites suffering withdrawal symptoms are welc0me to attend the CTS R2R Sale, at which there will be no shortage of refreshments and good cheer!
