Tuning In: Talk on interesting inhabitants of rock pools
The talk will highlight the interesting inhabitants of rock pools and how they deal with an environment constantly in flux.
It is mid-October – 10 months into the year.
Over 200 days in lockdown. Who would have thought? On March 27, we were going into two weeks of lockdown and would be “back to normal” by April 14!
Right. Nothing much more to be said about that.
Pennington Conservancy in action at Impithi
Pennington Conservancy has embarked on an enthusiastic campaign to restore the grounds around the Impithi Beach Restaurant.
Last Saturday saw an energetic group of some 15 members digging and cleaning up flowerbeds and planting new indigenous plants.
The conservancy has formulated a plan to not only make the entrance to the beach area beautiful but will also make great improvements to the restaurant.
A new colour scheme has been chosen and work is set to commence this week.
The volunteers envisage that the new-look restaurant should be ready by the end of October.
Rock pool talk
The conservancy has organised an informative talk by Craig Thomassen on life in the inter-tidal zone for Sunday, October 18 at 10.30am.
The talk will highlight the interesting inhabitants of rock pools and how they deal with an environment constantly in flux.
Parents and grandparents are encouraged to bring the children along to learn about this fascinating world.
Meet at Impithi Beach Restaurant from where the group will move down to the beach and on to the rock pools.
Don’t forget to diarise

Just a reminder that Marie Foord wants to establish the feasibility of a feral cat sterilisation clinic in Pennington within the very near future (as it is currently kitten season).
Contact Marie at 079 5253782 or Marie.Foord@sappi.com if you know about feral cats or if you are feeding feral cats which need to be sterilised.
Once Marie has an estimate of numbers, she will take the next step.
Sandra Sheppard is organising an Ilala Spring Day.
Ilala was established back in 1979, so that elderly people could get together and realise that their lives were not over, just another phase of life to be lived.
I have seen first-hand the devastating effect that Covid-19 has had on many over the last few months.
We will be adhering to social distancing and the track and trace while they are here with us.
I will have a few stalls and a lot of tables and chairs.
I’m begging and borrowing gazebos, so hopefully, we will have enough shade.
This will be a great opportunity to pay subs and for the 500 Club Draw which is going to be held in November and to see the people they have not seen in a long time.
It will also be an opportunity to meet the new president. Eugene Goosen.
Also, we have the quilter ladies who are going to show off their wares and a few other things like raffles and draws – I just want to make it fun.
Contact Sandra at 082 3346454 for more details.
Please send news, views, bits ‘n pieces and pics to bronwyn@scottburgh.co.za by Sunday afternoon.
