Join Us at This Year’s Congress

We are aiming to have at least 50 South Africans to attend this year's Congress. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage with Skål amical and connect with fellow Skalleagues from around the globe.

Attending a World Congress is the best way to truly appreciate the value of Skål. We will also be ordering SA shirts for all attendees. I am currently awaiting the costs for the shirts and will share the details with everyone interested as soon as possible.
