Will you be able to handle these events this Weekend?

23 September 2011 By Alan Straton

I for one think that I will end up whimpering quietly over a Braai Day fire, staring into the bottom of an ice cold Fanta Brown, after rushing from event to event.

Just a small foretaste of what is happening in PE This weekend:

Saturday 24 September 2011

  • 8:00 am – Northern Arts Festival
  • 8:00 am – Celebrity Sixes Cricket at Kemsley Park (Police Grounds), Mount Croix
  • 9:00 am – New Brighton Wine Festival at Red Location Museum, Port Elizabeth
  • 9:00 am – Carlson Gracie Africa Cup at Uitenhage Indoor Sports Centre, Uitenhage Eastern Cape
  • 9:30 am – Become a Healthier, Fitter and More Confident You at Caprice Restro Bar & Lounge, Port Elizabeth Eastern Cape
  • 10:00 am – Route 67, launched by the Mandela Bay Development Agency (MBDA) at City Hall
  • 11:00 am – 150 years of St Georges Park at Pearson Conservancy
  • 1:00 pm – Pride Parade starting in Stanley Street Richmond Hill
  • 2:00 pm – Opening of the Sailing Season Shark Rock Pier Sailpast by Algoa Bay Yacht Club
  • 6:00 pm  – Krishna Leela at the Opera House, Port Elizabeth

Some of the above events also continue on Sunday 25 September – The Longhair and I are also hoping to make it to Sunday’s Urban Run which starts at 8:00 am from the Donkin Reserve and winds down to the harbour back to Settlers Park, up to St Georges and down to the Donkin.

I expect to see lots of reports from bloggers on Monday.

Alan Straton

Chief Cook, Bottle Washer and Broom Mechanic at MyPE
Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
