Midwinter Feast
Saturday, 26 July, 2008Over a
hundred South Africans packed the Centennial Hall for an evening of
fantastic food and good company on 26th July. The Australians
even agreed to hold off the rugby until 10pm so we could have our function!
Many new members signed up and we did
more than breakeven by adding over $200 to our club funds.
The green and yellow table decorations were done by Priscilla Gage and Ros
Marais for the amazing sum of $2.50 each!
Johnnie Baldwin organised the sound system and nostalgic music using
his vast collection of vinyls! The
children were hugely entertained by Tom, the Yo-Yo Wizard and a packet of
yo-yo’s donated by the Aherns.
Our raffle was well supported and we thank our donors for their
generosity. Please support them.
They were Tony and Tracy Ahern of All About You Beauty chain, Howard
Andrews, our famous author, Chris Basson, new owner of Safari Meats, Linda
Klok with children’s books, and David and Nicole Stanley of Canterbury
Biltong.
