THE MMM Showcase at Swellendam Showgrounds on Saturday
|
|
A magic morning having fun with these gorgeous ladies. The MG's and their passengers spent the weekend in Swellendam. On Sunday they showed off their beauty at the Swellendam Showgrounds. According to Lorraine Reck from MG Cape Town Centre Swellendam is such a 'classy' place, from the various Guesthouses that they were staying in to the Restaurants and the Town. They particularly loved the old historical quarter with its beautiful old buildings. The pristine showgrounds were also a pleasant surprise and they are hoping to hold future rally events here. Thank you Swellendam for being such excellent hosts to this lovely crowd of two legged and four wheeled friends.

We are so proud of our up-and-coming Swellengram Guide (Food edition) which features not just our restaurants, but also where to go to buy, forage for, pick, taste, catch and sample the range of our unique local ingredients. It also features beautiful photos from Carlo Jorge and Cathy van Eeden. We have had some delay going to print having being let down by a client at the last minute but we are almost there. We do have one last space available (1/2 page) (or could be two ¼ pages) if there is still anyone still out there who wants in – it will need to be a quick turnaround as we must have these distributed everywhere before the Easter break, so please send swellengram@gmail.com a message TODAY if you want one of these spots More details here. swellendam.com/advertisement-booking/
