Bring own wine or bubbles.  Had a cretive and fun afternoon painting pottery at Anna Beulah.  We shared a savoury platter made by Hendrik.  We drank our bubbly while we painted our works of art.  Our hostess Martie was helpful and encouraging with our designs whiche we chose for our ceramic items.  The cost of  the class ws the item you chose and included the painting, glazing and firing.  Our finished products should be ready in 3 weeks time.  Afterwards Ana hinted to Hendrik that we would all enjoy some dessert and he went and organised us a stunning fruit phylio basket and of course coffee :-).

The global dance sensation has appeared in over 330 cities, and 37 countries and 12 million people have now been dazzled by the energy and imagination of these unique performers.  Dein Perry's TAP DOGS continues to take the world by storm and it set to tap, beat and dance its way through 2018 and 2019.  Now it's Soth Africa's turn to experience the award-winning show that has been described as "Part theatre, part dance, part rock concert and part construction site!" (BBC, UK).
Dein Perry's TAP DOGS features high-energy dance, theatrical performance and live music performed by a cast of six dancers and two musicians who will bring the steel works to life in a fast paced, unstoppable spectacular that is the perfect show for anyone from 8-80.
Overall, the show was great, seats could have been better as it was a bit far from the stage, but due to ticket pricing, these were the seats most opted for.  There were some wide-mouthed gawks at the entertainment and scenery on-stage, so much eye-candy and artwork to be enjoyed by all and was drooled about afterwards.
Dinner before the show was at Hussar Grill at Grand West.  The manager can be commended with his pre-dinner arrangements.  There was a bit of an uncommunicated error with the getting of  the bill, which resulted that some of us having to run to make it to the show on time.  But from what was said, all enjoyed their food.  Amie received a free drink as her birthday was two days before the show.  Carla got a free drink since her chicken was partially undercooked.  But good times none the less :-)
