The Off Road Radio Association (ORRA) is a service focus group of the AAWDC. It was formed to assist the AAWDC membership base in complying with the regulatory requirements of the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) when using two way radios.

The objectives of ORRA are to:

• Provide two-way radio communication licences on behalf of ICASA to paid-up members of clubs affiliated to the AAWDC.
• Promote the use of radio licenses amongst the AAWDC membership base.
• Liaise and negotiate with ICASA on annual licences and radio frequencies.
• Handle objectively technical queries on radio’s and frequencies from members.
• Investigate and present off road frequencies to best suit the AAWDC membership base.
  
  The Off-Road Radio Association issues mainly 29MHz and VHF radio licenses. The application forms and administration of the off road radio licences is handled by the ORRA Administrator.

  Few places on earth offer such a spectacular outlook. Nestled atop Tygerberg Hill, surveying its surrounds with unparalleled 270 degrees panoramics, De Grendel showcases Table Mountain, the city of Cape Town and the seaboard all in one landscape. Just 20 minutes from the city, this dramatic expanse of land offers perspective and accessibility. De Grendel means “the latch” in Dutch – this farm was historically the gateway on the route to the inland settlements of Durbanville and Stellenbosch which had to be opened to traverse the Tygerberg.

  Our distinctive position

  Perfectly situated on high, sea-facing slopes, it is the only vineyard in the country that is 350m above sea level and only 7 km from the sea. This elevated position is not only majestic, but also forms an integral part of the micro-climate that shapes our elegant wines. Our vines benefit from the western-facing aspect and the close moderating effects of the ocean – advantages that are the product of the site. In our viticulture and wine-making, our goal is the expression of the character of this distinctive position.

  Sensitivity to our environment

  Looking after the natural environment, the farm is part of a larger fynbos conservation area, caring for the endemic but highly endangered “renosterveld”. Our social environment is being protected by employer-employee partnerships in winemaking and viticulture. In all we pursue, we aim for excellence, now and in the future.
