FRIDAY 16 MARCH 2012 FROM 16:00 TO 17:30:

A walking tour of Green Point Park with Johan van Papendorp:

 

Building the Cape Town 2010 Stadium on the historic Common helped realise the City’s long standing vision to return the commonage to the people. Johan’s firm, OvP played a major role in the reconstruction of the Common and the implementation of the public spaces, the jewel being the 12ha public park.

 

Meet Johan at the South Gate, across from Virgin Active, at 15.45 for a guided walk, wheelchairs welcome and it is all for free. Johan’s details : mobile : 082 420 2922; office : 021 462 1262; e-mail ; jvp@ovp.co.za

SATURDAY 17 MARCH, 2012 FROM 10:00 TO 15:00:

A visit to some of the architecturally interesting wineries with Alex Robertson:

 

There has been an explosion of new wine estates in the Western Cape in the past 20 years. They are fascinating to visit because of their different and beautiful locations and the varied styles of their architecture. Alex has been part of a panel of judges who has visited most of these wineries over the past 3 years. This has given him a unique overview and he has chosen 2 wineries in the Somerset West-Stellenbosch area, Waterkloof, and Vergelegen’s new wine-tasting centre for you to visit.

 

We will travel in our own cars, preferably sharing. Meet Alex at 10:00 at a venue to be decided later. Lunch will be booked at the Bodega Restaurant, Dornier and is to your own cost. Alex’s contact details are: cell: 082-777-7054; office: 021-683-9470; email: alex@araconsultants.com
