Gearing up for Getaway

Posted on Sat September 16, 2017 in In and around KwaNojoli.

Tourism month is always busy, with the National and Provincial bodies kicking into action, but other events also keep us busy!

We're gearing up to go to the Getaway show in Johannesburg next weekend, and it seems that, being a long weekend, everyone wants to visit the Karoo! It's always a catch-22 situation with not wanting to be away from the guesthouse over long weekends, but a long weekend posing a good excuse for people to visit shows like Getaway - we hope.  Our "manager" position has been recently vacated, but we've put contingency plans in to place that are working beautifully.

The show organisers have decided that they will have the Getaway Show on Saturday, Sunday and Monday next week, as with Heritage day falling on a Sunday, Monday 25th is also a holiday.  Here's hoping our Joburg guests and friends haven't decided to make use of the long weekend, and planned trips away.

We will be exhibiting under Wild Fly Fishing in the Karoo and Somerset East again, and this time we're right opposite the Cape Union Mart stand.  Visit us at stand G20, even if it's just to come and say hello.

Besides the usual Casting competition, we're also running a show special for all accommodation booked at the show!

Here's hoping the weather plays ball and we see all our friends at this year's Getaway Show at the Dome in Northgate!
