The highlight of the year was, without doubt, the celebration of the PRF's 25th anniversary. This was celebrated in style in both Pretoria and Stellenbosch. The celebrations included the presentation of recognition awards to local and international contributors. As part of the process, events that marked milestones over the past 25 years were recalled and described. Many of those present at the celebrations remembered the history, with these reminiscences painting a memorable picture of the scope of work done by the PRF.
