Q: Where dit the name Gat Party Originated from?
A: The first such party was held in a former quarry at the old Parrow Athletic Club.
The Quarry was referred to as “die gat” in die gront. in Afrikaans and in English “ the hole” in the ground.
Afrikaans-style ballroom dancing to country-and-western-style music and 80’s, 90’s and latest hits. We also do song requests.
We try to have a Gat Party once a month, normally the last Saterday of the month.
