A Year Later: Looking Back on an Unforgettable Evening

This time last year, our event that we want to cement in memories: 

Die uitnodiging:

Aandag Alle Gansveer Digters & Storievertellers! 

Maak gereed om jou innerlike storie-verteller los te laat, want ons duik sommer kop eerste in Fabels, Verhale, Wolhaarstories en reguit na Volslae Leuens! Ja, jy’t reg gehoor - dit’s tyd om die waarheid te verdraai, die werklikheid te buig, en dalk selfs ’n paar storievertelreëls te breek! 

Jou Missie, As Jy Dit Aanvaar: 

Jy het 16 dae om jou meesterstuk voor te berei! Dis reg - jy kry huiswerk! Dus, stof daardie kreatiewe spinnerakke af... slyp jou grysstof, en skep jou mees afgewerkte, snaaksste, hartroerendste Wolhaarstorie ooit!

Waarheen bring jy Jou Meesterstuk: 

Die Bakhuis! (Want dis waar al die magic gebeur!) 

Wat Ons van jou Verwag: 

Vermaak ons totdat ons op die vloer rol van die lag, Trek aan ons hartsnare totdat sneesdoekies jou nuwe beste vriende word, kom en betower ons met jou talente!

So, bring jou stories, jou pittigheid, jou humor, en dalk ook ’n bietjie kattekwaad ingevleg. Maak gereed om te entertain, te amuseer, en ons dalk selfs te verwar met jou kreatiewe skepping!

Laat die storievertel-chaos begin! 

P.S. Geen pressure nie… maar ons verwag legendariese verhale.

Terugvoering van die aand se events

Stories, Fables, Tales, Wolhaarstories en outright blatent lies!

Wow, what an evening!

We kicked things off with a chat about AI, then dove straight into a non-fable about Roxy, then to: Maria, gebruik jou verbeelding! to imagining walking into a vibrant, colourful garden and as you step through the gates, seeing your dreams as shimmering angel-wings. 

We also had Zastron se Renier, who smashed through the big hole in the rock on Aasvoëlberg named die Oog! And then, the incredible story of Bettina's transformation from Bertie Blue to… a very true story about Max Richter's 8-hour Sleep Concert! 

Louwtjie paid tribute to Mandela with a heartfelt ode, complete with a cap that told its own story. 

Just a reminder to Dries to somewhere, somehow do a “redo” of his Manne met die Panne story. You will néver underestimate the role of an ordinary pan after hearing his story!

And let’s not forget the food! Absolutely delicious! We practically ate the plates clean, and tried very hard to suppress some enthusiastic plate licking! I really, really enjoyed it!!!

What a night full of stories, surprises, and good vibes. Thanks everyone for making it memorable!
