Aug 2020 - Bloem

Record breaking concert ...
and you’re invited!
Who said you can’t have a great deal of fun watching a live
stream concert at home? No standing in long queues, eight feet
tall people blocking your view, getting pushed from all sides,
using signals to communicate or being so far away you can
barely see the artist on stage. Not for us. Instead, we’ll be getting
a front row seat for a COVID Secret Session live stream concert
by local legendary rock band, Prime Circle. Not only will they
produce a world-class show but they aim to set a record
globally for the most tickets sold for a live stream rock concert!
It’s on August 8 at 7pm. We’ll be there ... join us! Bonus: Ten per
cent of the money raised will be in aid of charity. Get your ticket
for R120 from Computicket.com or head over to their Facebook
page @PrimeCircle to keep updated.
Time
to wine down
Wine lovers … this is your chance
to sip, sniff and swirl your way through an
edutaining Local is Lekker wine course by
the Tops at Spar Wine Show. Wine educator
Cathy Marston will take you on a humorous,
interactive journey that’s more like a wine club
than a wine course! Think interesting wine
theories, practical tips and guided wine
tastings. Four online Zoom sessions (each
with its own theme) of an hour will
take place over two weeks. R295.

experience. So, we’re opting for an online class

various levels you can choose from … think a
refreshing mind-body workout which emphasises

flow class targeting four main areas with each
workout – upper and lower body, cardio and
core. No need for any fitness equipment, you
can just jump right in for R50 a session! Details:
