Welkom: the events, the weather and the hire firms
Gold fields towns like Welkom, Virginia and Odendaalsrus have strong community and church networks, and much of the hire here follows them. Thabong and the townships around the shafts hold funerals, unveilings and after-tears most weekends, and congregations book tents and chairs for revivals and Easter gatherings. Mine and contractor functions still add year-end bookings, and the motor racing circuit outside town brings occasional event work. Garden weddings and 21sts fill the suburbs of Riebeeckstad and Flamingo Park. Hire firms work from Welkom's industrial area and from yards in Thabong, and Bloemfontein firms handle very large tents. Summer storms and hail, frost in winter and wind across the flat goldfields all matter outdoors.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: a chair for an elder at the service, the graveside and the after-tears
- Companies, conferences and functions: a chair kept on hand at a conference or a staff member returning after surgery
- Churches and faith gatherings: chairs for elderly members at a church conference, pilgrimage or revival
