The Maizefield 25th Anniversary

After a few whiskeys one night at Pam and Richard's about a year ago, we worked out that this crazy group started visiting Maizefield Farm 25 years ago! Of course that called for a party, so we set aside the first weekend in December as a celebration! On Saturday night we held an 80s themed party, with 80s clothes, 80s dress, 80s food and plenty of time to reminisce. Max put together a photo presentation and we even had a chill room with old records and a turntable! In the early days, the farmhouse had no electricity and everyone just bunked down all over the place on old foam mattresses. Most of the time we spent down at the water; skiing, sailing and booze cruising! What happens at Maizefield stays at Maizefield, but lets just say we had a lot of fun! Girlfriends have come and gone, relationships have begun and ended, babies have been born, kids have grown up, people have emigrated, a few have come back and new faces are always welcome. There have been a few minor mishaps and accidents and hangovers too numerous to count. We have celebrated Christmases and Midmasses, New Years, Birthdays , Anniversaries, Halloweens, Easters and even Weddings here. In 1999 we spent the whole year planning the Millennium party. The barn was fixed up into a  party venue and christened the Millennium Dome. Some time after that Norman decided to sell and Tommy, Neil, Richard and Max became "plaas-einaars." We did "renovations", converted outbuildings, got electricity, put up an electric fence, added some cottages and extra bathrooms. We have tractors and chickens and geese and sheep and cows and a poor old farm dog called Rix. We once had a few horses and one day I'm going to get a pig! But it's really all about spending great times with wonderful people! Happy Anniversary everyone and see you on the Farm!
