Schools Angels sponsor kits
T
he Overstrand saw a lot of karate action over the last few weeks, with both the Western Cape All Styles Championships hosted in Hawston and the JKA Overstrand tournament that was held at Curro.
The under 11 and under 13 soccer teams of the Hermanus Waldorf School were very fortunate to have their soccer kit sponsored by two UK companies: Mike Honour Lattice Windows sponsored the under 11 soccer kit, and Bentley Electrical sponsored the under 13 kit. The boys are very grateful to Jo Carruthers and Julie Blundell who organised this sponsorship. These two ladies were part of the Argus Angels team who did the Argus this year to raise funds for the school. The players proudly showed off their kit with teacher Bertus van Zyl.
