At our Gala Evening in December ’08, Nicole Palmer was awarded Honorary Membership of HPS – an honor she now shares with Freeman Patterson, Colla Swart, Antenie Carstens, JJ van Heerden, Paddy Howes and Piet Steyn. A past chairman of HPS, Nicole is well-known for the popular workshops she presents in Namibia and Stellenbosch – ‘Desertlight’ and ‘Dance of Light’. She is an excellent teacher, and is always willing to help out at the club, be it with evaluating or presenting a lecture. She was a good sport when we had some fun conferring the award upon her – thank you Nicole, and Congratulations!
