North leads the JC and you count your winners and losers. The danger to the hand is that once the Ace of clubs is gone you have losing clubs in your hand; so your only way to make the slam is to play for a 3:3 break in hearts and a 3:3 break in spades. Therefore you ruff the jack of clubs in dummy and lead a small diamond to the Ace, followed by three rounds of trumps. Now you lead the spade Jack and duck it even if North covers with the King. Most Souths will win the Jack with the King and play the King of clubs. Now you win the club with the Ace and lead a spade to dummy which enables you to discard three losing clubs on the established spades. Note that South can scupper your plans by ducking the spade jack which will prevent declarer from ever establishing the spade suit. If you play the hand in four hearts, a safer way to plan the play is to win the club jack with the Ace, cash the Ace of diamonds, ruff a club in dummy and discard a club on the diamond King. Unfortunately in this case South ruffs the second diamond!!

Oh yes, Grahamstown and its residents are gearing up for the 2016 edition of the National Arts Festival which runs from June 30 to July 10. NEW BUZZ ON AFRICAN STREET It was a hectic few days leading up to the official opening of the new Oak Cottage SPAR last week, what with finishing touches being put to the building, packing of shelves, training new staff and bringing the computer network up and running smoothly. The frenetic on-site activity came to a head on Tuesday last week when SPAR owners Guy and Jill White cut the ribbon at the front door to declare the store open. No sooner were formalities done with, than a few dozen eager customers poured into the store. Already inside were numerous SUPERSPAR and SPAR owners and managers from other cities and towns, supporting and congratulating the owners on the latest addition to the SPAR family. Once the excitement of the opening proceedings had died down, Jill White s p o ke about the new store and her journey over the past 11 years with the SPAR group. The big news is the new SPAR will open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the same as Oak Cottage KWIKSPAR next door. Due to the increase in store size and expected volume of business, the staff complement has almost doubled from that of KWIKSPAR to the 70 of the new SPAR. White added that all the KWIKSPAR staff members had been transferred to the new store, some on promotion, and several new employees appointed. “Some staff members have been with us from the beginning,” she enthused, heaping praise on them for their loyalty and hard work. White has seen the new store grow from a convenience shop to a KWIKSPAR and eventually to the new store. She mentioned that the parking issue was being attended to. “The KWIKSPAR building is being demolished to create on-site parking, and the parking area should be completed in time for the festival,” she added. White commented that the opening few days had been amazing, with great support from the community and K-Day visitors. The ground floor of the SPAR comprises retail sections, while the first floor houses the various preparation divisions for the bakery, butchery, delicatessen and fresh produce. Also on the ground floor are separate sections for fried chicken, a smoothie bar, sushi bar, coffee bar and delicatessen. The attractive interior design and layout of the new SPAR was the work of head of design at SPAR’s regional offices in Port Elizabeth Abegail Witbooi. NEW FESTIVAL VENUE A new venue on the Fringe programme at this year’s National Arts Festival is The Museum of Theatre which is, in fact, the recently completed National English Literary Museum (NELM) in Worcester Street. Meanwhile, a post on the NELM Facebook page says they have moved to their new premises in Worcester Street. “All the collections and most of the staff are safely in the new building. Now the unpacking star ts,” says the post. RUBBISH CLEARED On several occasions I have written about the garden refuse accumulating into a huge heap in Hillsview Road at the entrance to the lane leading to Beadle Street. Well, the good news is that the rubbish has been removed. Hope it stays clean and clear. DERBY WIN FOR KINGSWOOD Playing in front of a typically huge K-Day derby crowd on City Lords on Saturday afternoon, home side Kingswood College defeated St Andrew’s College by 34 points to 22 in their First 15 rugby encounter. Kingswood led 26-10 at half time. The home team scored five tries to the visitors’ three. Another large crowd witnessed the first-team GRAND OPENING: Oak Cottage SPAR owners Jill and Guy White, right, about to cut the ribbon to declare the new store officially open last week. Looking on is S PA R operations director Mike De St Pern, who is based in Port Elizabeth. See story on this page Picture: SID PENNEY girls’ hockey match on the adjacent astro, where Diocesan School for Girls beat hosts Kingswood 4-0. Among those watching the d ay ’s action were scores of Old Kingswoodians from the 1996 and 2006 matric classes, celebrating their 20- and 10-year reunions. BIG FRINGE BOOST The National Arts Festival (NAF) Fringe programme, sporting 369 productions this year, has received a R10-million boost from the National Lotteries Commission (NLC). As part of the agreement, Fringe artists will receive R1 000 rebates on their venue hire costs. THEY’RE BACK The local Brian Mullins/Alan Weyer duo is back at NAF this year for three Boet ’n Swaer shows in the Scout Hall (July 2 and 3) and Drill Hall (July 4). Check out the festival programme for more information. WATER AWARD Congratulations to director at Rhodes Universit y’s Institute for Water Research Professor Dennis Hughes upon receiving the 2016 International Hydrology Award for his work that has centred around rainwater harvesting as a way of addressing water shortages in sub-Saharan Africa. DRAMA AT THE BRIDGE The solo theatre performance of Immor tal, featuring Jenna Dunster, is a drama based on the events of the Blaauwkrantz Bridge train disaster between Port Alfred and Grahamstown in April 1911. A special token of thanks is given in the programme to Grahamstown resident Ben Bezuidenhout who researched the disaster and wrote a book on the incident several years ago. MID-YEAR BREAK Tomorrow sees the student body of Rhodes University proceeding on their mid-year vacation after a lengthy second term. They return to Grahamstown and campus for the start of the third term on July 18. JOHAN DIPPENAAR Former Grahamstown general practitioner Dr Johan Dippenaar died in Port Elizabeth last Thursday. After leaving Grahamstown some DESIGNER MAGIC: Oak Cottage SPAR owners Guy and Jill White have received numerous compliments and accolades on the layout and design of the new store’s interior. Here, Jill White thanks Abegail Witbooi, designer of the store’s interior, on a job well done. Witbooi is head of design at SPAR’s regional offices in Port Elizabeth Picture: SID PENNEY years ago, he became a senior staff member of Aurora Rehabilitation Hospital. ECHO OF UYS Pieter-Dirk Uys writes on page 38 of the programme, a page devoted to the play The Echo of a Noise: “This picture [a photo of Uys with Table Mountain in the background] was taken on Blouberg beach on February 11 1990, the day Nelson Mandela was freed from jail.” Uys continues: “Neither I nor South Africa look the same today.” In the photo he appears to be looking in the direction of Robben Island. This year he will be visiting the National Arts Festival for the umpteenth time. MOOD CHANGE Of the first test between South Africa and Ireland I wrote in last week’s column about the loud and lively music played at every break during the match, and that it had annoyed me. I regarded that as a “no-no”. Another “no-no” came during the second test in Johannesburg this past weekend when certain elements in the crowd booed the Springboks as they left the field of play. But the mood changed and the crowd cheered the Boks vociferously after they defeated the Irish. And now the Port Elizabeth test on Saturday will be the decider. OLD RHODIAN JOKES Former Rhodes University student and De Beers House resident of not so long ago Tyson Ngubeni is one of eight comedians featured in The Very Big Comedy Show in the Guy Butler Theatre on July 6, appearing alongside Marc Lottering, Rob van Vuuren and others. FREE SUNDOWNER CONCERTS The Fountain Foyer in the Monument will be the venue, each evening from 5pm during the festival, of the free Sundowner Concerts, featuring some of the best on the Fringe. PRIME SHOW Making its debut appearance on the National Arts Festival main stage is Johannesburg band Prime Circle, fresh from its tour of Europe. They’re in the Guy Butler Theatre on Wednesday July 6 in what could well be a sold-out per formance. ON COURTS ABROAD: The Graeme College senior tennis team left yesterday on its three-week tour of the UK, during which they will play matches against Wellington College, Bedford School, Sevenoaks School and Kings College. The touring party will also watch tennis at Wimbledon and cricket between Oxford and Cambridge at Lords.
