Margate Moves: Street party time in Southbroom

IF you can only manage one mega event next month, make sure it is the street party in Southbroom.

The village first held a street carnival to celebrate its 80th anniversary and it proved to be so popular that it is back as an annual happening.

Quiz postponed

With all the local Lions Clubs attending the service organisation’s mid-year conference in Port Edward this weekend, the Ramsgate Lions have postponed the regular month-end braai and quiz night which was scheduled for this Friday (26th).

The new date to diarise is November 2 and then there’s another on November 30. Braai fires are lit from 6pm, so take some meat – salads are on sale and there is a cash bar available.

After supper it’s time to put on those thinking caps and put your brain power to the test.
