The final Program 2010

The Final Program has been updated on the blog!

Follow THE LINK to check it out

its one way or the highway to show 'n tell 2010

Some of you are coming by train and some by plane. Some of you are from Jozi and some are from China, china. Some of you will be masked and some will even be on the Cinematic Motion Picture Screen. But one thing’s for sure...we’re all maatjies (not matjies) and we’re all going one way. It’s been called everything from Mike’s Fountain to Mates Fonteen but there is only one.........Matjiesfontein.

Its 250 km from Cape Town,1 200 km from Johannesburg on the N1 national highway and 15 789 3764 km from China.

From Cape Town, take the N1 through Paarl, the Huguenot Tunnel, Worcester, Touws River and on towards Laingsberg which should take you 2 hrs 30 minutes. If you’re driving from Jozi, use a map, pal.

Now get those pens out and write down your ‘what to pack’ list. Why? Because you’ll never remember...so here goes:


- Dress-up for ‘wies jou oupagrootjie’ dinners. Come on, it’s Heritage Day...make it up!

- Raid that stationery draw for pens, pencils, crayons etc. for little maatjies events

- Bottled water - Lord Milner’s pipes are a little rusty, know whadda I mean?

- Cash (there are no ATMS’s or escalators for that matter)

- Snacks and drinks for lazy lawn sessions (there are no shops or panda bears for that matter but we’ve heard there are going to be owls... hoot! hoot!)

- Tennis, boule and soccer attire (if you’re on the show ‘n tell soccer team you are going to need a black AND a white shirt...we have no idea why so ask Adam Cooper when you see him)

- Swimming costumes for midnight synchronised swimming sessions

- Warm clothes for those c-c-c-cold, Karoo nights and mooooon gazing

- Musical instruments and your VuVuzelas (they count too, even if the English Premier League doesn’t think so)

- Cards, games and your poker face

- Your dancing shoes

- Whatever gear you need for your contributions

NB*

* Please settle all your bills (including that ridiculous bar tab you’ve run up over the course of the weekend – cards are accepted) and don’t forget to tip the hardworking staff of the Lord Milner
* If you are vegetarian, please tell the waiters that you would like something without eyes (that option is not on the menu)
* Self-catering peeps, if you are going to be having dinner in the hotel on any of the nights, please let reception know when you check in
* If you're lost, having a wardrobe crisis and need some advice, or just want to breathe heavily into your phone call Raffaella (082 3666 374) or Inge (083 2821283)

That's it from the Matjies Massive.
Over and Out.
