World Cup 2010 – Guides & Vehicles needed

Attention: All Driver/Guides

Regarding: World Cup 2010

Thank you very much for responding to our advert regarding the need for vehicles and guides for our clients during the world cup period. At this stage we are in search of vehicles with qualified drivers ranging in size from 4 seater luxury vehicles to 16 seater coaches. Our clients are all involved in the TV industry in the UK and will be here for the full duration of the world cup. This is a perfect opportunity for you to ensure you get your share of the revenue generated during this event and to tie yourself and your vehicle into guaranteed contract work.

In order to prepare a contract for you, outlining the specifications, requirements and remuneration we require the following from you:

1) Clear copy of your ID showing your picture, name and ID number

2) Clear copy of your Professional drivers permit

3) Clear copy of your Vehicle Operating permit showing that your vehicle is legally allowed to transfer paying clients

4) Clear copy of your Passenger Liability Cover applicable to your vehicle

If you own a couple of vehicles and will be contracting drivers to drive your vehicles we will require the above for each vehicle and each driver allocated to that vehicle.

On receipt of the above we will compile a contract and send it to you. Once we have the required contracts in place we will hold a briefing in JHB early next year where you will need to present the vehicles, confirm your shirt size (golf shirts we will supply as a uniform) and where we will explain all logistics and answer all questions.

Please can you FAX the above documents along with a covering letter which states your name to (021) 794 6970. Please use only this fax number and we will confirm receipt by email by end of next week.

I thank you for interest and look forward to working closely with you in 2010.

Best Regards

THEME EVENINGS AT RIOJA

TO ALL TOUR GUIDES WHO VALUE THEIR BUSINESS AND WANT IT TO GROW

We are starting a new evening entertainment based at Rioja Restaurant and game reserve in Kommetjie. We are providing a full evening’s entertainment with optional transport. The clients would meet at a vantage point on Chapman’s Peak for a sun downer. A waiter will be there waiting to serve drinks to the clients. Then they will be transported down to Rioja by the tour guide or our own transport where they will be met by Team Spirit – an African drumming and singing band who will be providing the nights entertainment. The clients will also be treated to a full 3 course meal with complimentary wine.

The setting we have here at Rioja is world class and very exclusive. The evenings will also be exclusive so booking will be essential as there will be a limited number of places available.

We will be having a Preview show for parties in the tourist industry. If you are interested in finding out more and would like to be invited to the preview evening please reply to:

TABLE MOUNTAIN CABLE STATION PARKING

We have experimented with moving the mini bus parking closer to the cable station. We have had reports from guides that this has been very user friendly, however unfortunately we have inadvertently created a new problem.

The new parking area overlaps with the queuing area for visitors on busy days. This means that the increased numbers of vehicles moving in and out of the space is a safety concern for people queuing in that area and we have already had 2 incidents. When staff park in that area the vehicles remain stationary for the day and thus there is no safety risk.

We have thus made a decision that for the interim busy period till the end of January we will be moving the mini –bus parking area back to its original place further down the road.

We will review the parking situation at the end of January.

Thank you for your understanding, we welcome any proposals in solving this problem whilst ensuring that our visitors are safe.

Regards

Quote for the week

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

- The late Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931 to 2005

City road closures for 2010 Final Draw 4 Dec 09

City road closures for spectacular 2010 Final Draw

THE first official event to launch South Africa’s hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ takes place in Cape Town on December 4 and the City of Cape Town is pulling out all stops to demonstrate its readiness to welcome thousands of soccer fans and dignitaries.

The FIFA Final Draw, which will determine the match schedule for the 32 participating teams in next year’s soccer tournament, will be held at 19:00 on Friday, December 4 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC).

“About 3 000 international dignitaries and media representatives are expected to attend this milestone event which will be televised live to an estimated 150 million viewers across the globe. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Cape Town to put its best foot forward,” says Lesley de Reuck, the City’s Director of 2010 Operations.

“To welcome VIPs at the CTICC, the City of Cape Town will host a ‘Red Carpet’ event as from 16:00. Although the Final Draw ceremony will be closed to the public, the City has organised a one day festival in Long Street where Capetonians can view the Final Draw on large TV screens,” says De Reuck.

“Prior to and during the events, several roads will be closed temporarily to enable event organisers and various City and Provincial services to prepare and secure these venues,” says De Reuck.

For the Final Draw event at the CTICC, there will be intermittent road closures on the Foreshore in the area of Lower Long Street, Coen Steytler and Cullinan Street, from 09:00 on Monday November 30 to 05:00 on Monday December 7.

For the Long Street Festival, there will be a full closure of Long Street, from Buitensingel to Buiten Street, and Loop Street, from 13:00 on November 30 to 05:00 on December 7.

From 01:00 on December 4 to 12:00 on December 5, there will be road closures in the area bound by Queen Victoria Street, Green Street, Buitensingel, Loop Street and Dorp Street. Buiten Street, Bloem Street, Pepper Street, Leeuwen Street, Wale Street, Keerom Street and Vredenburg Lane will also be affected.

On-street stopping or parking will not be permitted on Long Street from Buitensingel to Buiten from 17:00 on Sunday 29 November.

Access control measures will enable businesses and residents entry to the affected areas.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these street closures and wish to thank all Capetonians in advance for their co-operation.

“To minimise traffic disruptions, Cape Town Traffic services will be on duty to redirect motorists and pedestrians. There will also be sufficient signage pointing towards alternative routes,” he says.

For more information on the Long Street road closures only, please contact 072 324 2476.

10 cheap countries to visit now

From Yahoo Travel

South Africa
South Africa is a good holiday destination for UK travellers looking to get a bit more for their pound. Depreciation in the value of the rand against sterling, as opposed to the falling value of the pound against the euro, makes a trip much more affordable to visitors. While flights might be relatively expensive, there are plenty of budget accommodation options combined with a low cost of living (a beer will cost you around £1), which make South Africa a good choice for the budget conscious. Try a budget safari break in the Kruger National Park, with tented accommodation being a good cheap option.
