The awards ceremony for the 2012 Best of Wine Tourism was held at the picturesque La Motte Wine Estate today.  All the category winners collected on the lawns at the Historical Cellar for welcoming drinks and were entertained by our spirited Soetstemme choir.  I noticed one of the guests unreservedly joining the choir for one of their songs, and wondered why I had not thought of that!

On the 9th of September, the Solms-Delta High School Basketball team played a match against the Bridges Academy “B ” Team. Once again our guys showed great spirit and determination. Despite the fact that we only had 5 players so they each had to play the full 40 minutes, we still managed to win 54-20 against the Bridges team! Well done to Justin and Bertrum (who are in primary school), Shane Boonzaier (in highschool), Elton and Donavan.
