Wow... Winter is upon us again and it seems as if time is simply sprinting away from us all. How is it possible that we're almost half-way through the year already?! I'm sure you've all felt the same way to some degree. I can assure you that it's going around. We all have such grand plans for the year in January and before you look again, it's December again, which means that it's important that we take the time to put those plans into action before time runs out. Now that Winter is here, we're looking forward to the rainy season. The river will flood, the grounds will be full of the sounds of drops dripping from branches and we'll look forward to sunny spells in between in which to revel in the beauty of it all!
It's a good time to throw logs on the fire and mull some wine and snuggle up cosily. Time to gather good friends around and prepare good food and find secret hide-aways in the Cape to explore and enjoy! This year, Winter holds something a little more exciting for many people.... the Soccer World Cup! It's a time for us to share our amazing home city with hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many of whom possibly wouldn't have visited under any other circumstances. The IPA are here for members who are visiting, even if they're not staying here with us. After all, there IS no better service than that which is carried out in friendship!
Of course, Mother Nature is sneaky and likes to keep us on our toes... already we've had fallen branches to contend with and the season has barely begun, but I we wouldn't have it any other way! We're back to our extremely popular Wednesday night "pub grub" of curry & rice for the Winter season, always a huge success which sells out fast!
We are also gearing up for the Classic Car & Bike Show in January 2011. This is the 11th Anniversary show and is a much anticipated highlight of our annual events calendar... Other potential events that are in the pipeline include a potjiekos competition, mini beerfest and family funday! More information will be posted as soon as it is available.
Last, but by no means least, we are so very proud to be celebrating the 21st Birthday of our beautiful Cape Town Hospitality house in 2010. The past 21 years have been filled with new friends, familiar faces, functions, shared joys and sadnesses and above all, the spirit of Servo per Amikeco. We raise a glass to the next 21 years and hope to share them with all of you!
So, as we embark on the next stage of our journey, to our regulars, we're always happy to see you and to new friends, yet to be made, we look forward to every minute.
