SOUTH African residents of the Lake District and Furness are invited to an informal evening at the Mountain Ash Hotel, Windermere.
Former resident of South Africa Gen Owen-Thomas who is helping to arrange the event said: "There really are quite a lot of South Africans about in the Lake District.
Whilst we are proud of our roots and heritage, we have a great sense of belonging with the local communities.
We are hoping that as many people as possible will turn up for a get-together."
The evening will be hosted on Thursday, July 19, at the Mountain ash from 7pm.
