Bonsai Club
annual show
All invited to attend demonstration
On December 3 and 4 the
Sunshine Coast Bonsai
Club will host their popular
annual show at the Girl Guide Hall
in Port Alfred.
The 2021 theme is the
development of bonsai trees over
time.
The trees on display will be
grouped into various stages of
training, to show how a bonsai is
created.
All are invited to come and learn
about the art of growing bonsai and
to view the demonstrations held by
David Brewis on the Saturday.
Bonsai starter trees, pots and
equipment will be on sale, and all
who are interested to join this
amazingly fulfilling hobby for young
and old can ask for club
membership forms to join in 2022.
Show hours are from 10am to
4pm Friday and Saturday. All are
welcome.

Are you craving a bacon and
cheese burger with a homemade
mince patty?
Or how about some slap chips
liberally drizzled with salt and
vinegar? Or perhaps something
healthier: a tangy, grilled chicken
salad with dressing on the side?
Whatever your preference,
Stoompot Takeaways has it in
store for you.
Situated at 56 Van der Riet
Street and open from 9am-5pm
weekdays, Stoompot offers great
value for m o n e y.
The fried fish and calamari
combo is a bestseller at only R70,
and the Russian and chips is a
steal at R30.
Stoompot also has great daily
specials, some of which have
proven so popular they’ve made it
onto the menu.
Try one of the massive Gatsbys:
a large roll topped with lettuce,
tomato, gherkin, crispy chicken or
calamari strips, a generous
handful of homemade slap chips
and lashings of the Stoompot
sweet chilli mayo.
Other, more exotic specials
have included beef chow mein
and steak prego rolls.
Everything on site is made
fresh daily.
Tasty vetkoek is available from
11am onwards, with your choice
of toppings: the curry mince and
chicken, bacon and cheese
proving popular choices.
For convenience, deliveries are
free within the CBD and orders
can be made telephonically or via
WhatsApp on 079-728-3283.
Stoompot’s chefs also cater for
a variety of small and large
functions, from simple finger
sandwiches to an assortment of
picnic delights: meatballs, chicken
strips, bite-sized calamari wraps,
among others.

shop and one of the welcoming
staff members will assist you with

Adding to its extensive range of
services, Postnet now also offers
criminal record checks.
Criminal record checks are
generally used in the recruitment/
HR industry as a form of preemployment
screening.
Outside the corporate market
there is a growing consumer
market, which includes
homeowners and small businesses,
who employ staff.
The South African Council for
Educators (SACE) in 2018
announced that everyone applying
for registration, including
updates/renewals, must submit a
South African Police Clearance
Certificate from the SAPS not older
than six months at the time of
submission, irrespective of the
country of origin.
This means all teachers in SA
will be required to have a criminal
record check run annually.
Postnet will provide the best
possible platform for teachers to get
this done.
