What’s happening in our Big Bay community. See below for the latest news, events and social media posts on our BBMPOA facebook page.
Big Bay MPOA
The BBMPOA is an umbrella association whose members consist of the registered owners of all erven comprising the Big Bay Development. This association was a requirement from the local authority to provide a mechanism to make funds available for the upkeep and maintenance of public areas and for funding of additional services, as may be required by the property owners (e.g. dedicated security patrols). The concept is based on City Improvement Districts (CIDβs) and Residential Improvement Districts (RIDβs) that have been successfully introduced in other existing areas. Levies for this association are currently calculated at 9.75% of your annual rates. This will apply to every registered home owner in Big Bay. The Managing Agent is Trafalgar Property Management.

Western Province Motor Club | Killarney Raceway
Killarney race track, also known as Western Province Motor Club is based in Cape Town. Bring the family for a fun filled day!
ππΎ A heads-up for our beach walkers and four-legged friends
You may have noticed reports of dead and dying sardines washing ashore along parts of the Western Cape coastline, including areas from Saldanha Bay to Cape Agulhas.
The City of Cape Town has confirmed that testing detected pilchard herpesvirus (PHV) genetic material in sampled sardines. Its role in the recent sardine deaths is still being investigated. Importantly, the City has also confirmed that the event has no connection to the Milnerton Lagoon.
For those walking our beautiful coastline, particularly with curious furballs in tow, please take a little extra care:
π Keep dogs on a leash where fish have washed ashore
π Don't allow pets to sniff, lick or eat dead or dying fish or other unidentified marine life
π« Please don't move, handle or dispose of the fish yourself
π Keep an eye out on your beach walks and give affected areas a wide berth
We know dogs have a remarkable talent for finding exactly the thing we'd rather they didn't - so a little extra vigilance for now is a good idea.
Enjoy the beach, but please keep yourselves and your furry family members safe. π

Nature has a wonderful way of resetting us.
This week:
π Listen to the waves.
πΆ Walk without headphones.
π± Put the phone away for ten minutes.
Sometimes peace is closer than we think.

We are doing all we can to try survive every month but its just getting worse and worse!
β’ We have 2 charity shops we work hard on getting donations for
β’ We do weekly adoption days and fundraising at various shopping centres
β’ Our farm is open Wednesday to Sunday for visitors and supporters
β’ We sell toys at adoption days and events for funds
β’ We sell second hand books on yaga for funds
β’ We sell pet products as our vets for funds
β’ We have a farm shop with lovely products for funds
β’ We have an active website to help rehome our adult dogs and cats at www.fallenangels.org.za
β’ We have an active face book and Instagram pages, you tube and tik tok channels
β’ We have an amazing group of volunteers that constantly share posts for us.
β’ We have back-a-buddy campaigns for vet bills
β’ We have foster programmes for dogs and cats on the farm
β’ We give school talks to educate students about animal welfare
β’ We do outreach helping animals in need
β’ We have trolleys in supermarkets to collect food
We do whatever and whenever we can.
But its just not enough!
We didnβt even have money for electricity today!
We donβt have petrol for our vehicles, we cannot pay our vet bills or staff salaries.
There are future steps to relocate to reduce our monthly expenses even more as we will be going completely off the grid as our electricity and water bills are over R50 000 a month.
The truth is we cannot afford to run anymore.
We CANNOT afford to take in new animals and are on complete lockdown until January due to taking in a very healthy looking litter of puppies that turned out to be desperately sick!
We are in SERIOUS trouble and truly HATE to beg every month!
We really really need your help!! A few more months and then we hope all our new permits are finalized with the municipality and we can completely re-invent ourselves.
Please Please Please HELP us! (And we are truly so sorry to have to ask again!)
If you can donate anything at all we will be so so grateful.

Hello, August!
Winter isn't over just yet... but there's something in the air.
The days are getting a little longer.
The sunsets a little later.
Spring is quietly warming up in the wings.
August is also Women's Month - a chance to celebrate the women who lead, nurture, inspire, create, support and quietly keep everything running.
Here's to another beautiful month in Big Bay.

There is wonderful event on Sunday taking place at Big Bay (Blouberg), where kids from disadvantaged areas are going to get a chance to have a wonderful afternoon of:
- learning to surf
- learning to braai
- enjoying boerewors roll
- and spending some time in a safe and fun environment
An opportunity that would not come easily for them, if it was not for the amazing big-hearted people who are generously giving of their time to make this possible.
If you love surfing or love the beach or a braai, and want to help others enjoy these things, please by making a donation.
(See details on the flyer image)
Blessings

You don't have to overhaul your life.
- Drink more water.
- Take the walk.
- Call the friend.
- Read another chapter.
- Watch another sunset.
Small habits.
