Vicky, 2nd daughter of Kris Kreef finished matric last year and joined the Kreef team fulltime just before Splashy Fen this year. a Well balanced child at least 5 Koppi's and 3 Splashy's behind her. This time Vicky took charge of the booking process under the expert training of Tania (tannie ja) and now she forms part of the rigging team where she takes care of the layout of the camp's tents and the pitching teams to pitch 230 tents in 4 days.. Guests at Oppikoppi will find Vicky in the reception area on the daytime shift, ready to recharge your phone if needed.
3 Truckloads of equipment arrived more than a week before the festival, just in time for the thunderstorm and hail. Nice. We think, you drink.
Yes, it is the bushveld. Yes, it is a summer rainfall area. No, it is not summer. BUT - you never know your luck, so guests are advised to bring warm bedding. And a warm jacket. And a heart. This photo was taken at Oppikoppi on Saturday 1 August, when the rigging team was surprised by a solid bushveld thunderstorm and even some hail. Good news is the tents handle such conditions well enough for you not to worry too much. C'mon, pack the duvet and be sure you sleep nice and snug.
The mainstage view from the Cuervo deck. Probably the best place to watch from, with an icecold Cuervo gold to sharpen your focus. Great care should be taken at this height, especially after the common Koppi disease kicks in (rondevoetjie sindroom).
