We are told that SA Sunshine Tour Golf PRO’s Titch Moore and Francois van Vuuren will host a “Mulligan” with ice cold cocktails on the 18th….does that mean if you get to take the 2nd uncounted shot at the little white ball that you get to drink the cocktail or your playing partner…whichever way the days round of golf will end on a high note indeed.

Gino Fabbri will entertain with a comedy show at the prize giving event.

The Port Elizabeth Shakespeare Society is celebrating 40 years of Shakespeare in the park by presenting the Port Elizabeth premiere of Shakespeare’s Antony & Cleopatra from 14 to 19 February at the Opera House – not the Mannville Open Air Theatre (more about this later).

Antony & Cleopatra appropriately opens on 14 February – Valentines day – and offers couples a unique and romantic evening at the theatre.

The run is from 14 to 19 February in the PE Opera House and performances will take place nightly at 7:00 pm with an additional 3:00 pm matinee on Sunday 19 February. Ticket prices are R25.00 and R50.00.

• Schools can book with Helen Wilkins on 041 511 789.
• Block book 10 or more tickets with Rocky Mann: 084 560 0912.
• Individual tickets can be purchased on the night at the door

Sadly, the production will not take place in Mannville, as the park venue has been vandalized making it almost impossible to be used this year. The PE Opera house has come to the rescue and has made the Main Theatre available for one week so that the anniversary celebration can go ahead as planned.

The BSG Energade Triathlon Series moves to Port Elizabeth after taking place in Germiston, Midmar, Vanderbijlpark, Potchefstroom and Roodeplaat.

This three discipline,(swimming (600m), cycling (20km) and running (5km)) seven event Series held in major centres around South Africa is for everyone, from South Africa’s Elite triathletes looking for a tough competitive challenge, to experienced triathletes looking for diverse race conditions and trying to beat a personal best, to first-times seeking an enjoyable way to get fit and have fun with other athletes!

And it’s for the whole family, with the kids series and the opportunity to race as a family team.

BSG and Energade, as a team, have brought this popular triathlon series to South
Africa for the past three years. Continually doing things better and smarter is
what BSG and Energade are all about and this year is no exception with even more
exciting innovations in store. We have enhanced the online experience through
the BSG Multisport portal where improvements have been made to the processes
used for online entries as well as the technology that supports this. The venues
selected for the 2011 BSG Energade Triseries and Kids Series will provide
maximum athlete safety, as they have been chosen based on analysis of water
quality levels and road closure facilities. We have redesigned the race schedule
so there is a separate Elite race, multiple start waves to manage participant
numbers in the swim, and have ensured our Kiddies series is better than ever.

The weather today- Monday 7 November is bright and sunny with an expected high of 26 deg. Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. Winds NNE around 16 to 35 kmph.

Unfortunately the prediction for Sunday shows a high of around 21 with a 60% chance of showers and wind speeds of up to 55 kmph. But then again our weather is very fickle and who knows it might just do a turn for the better and greater enjoyment of the athletes!

We wish all contestants well!
