COMING UP AT THE GUILD 2018 6-10 March. Stirling High School presents Singing in the Rain at the Guild Theatre from 7pm. Don Lockwood (Sonqoba Njengele) and Lina Lamont (Tanique Allers) are the most celebrated silent film couple on the silver screen in 1927 Hollywood. Lina believes all the magazine articles that she and Don are an item, which couldn’t be further from the truth. With the advent of sound, the studio decides to make a talking picture, but Lina’s voice, being sharp and shrill, needs to be dubbed.

Kathy Seldon (Hannah Moerdyk/Caitlyn Jones), who sings like a dream and speaks so eloquently, is the voice used to disguise Lina’s awful signing and speaking. Lina hears of this news and threatens to sue the studio, but as always, Don and Cosmo (Don’s best friend, played by Daniel Anderson) come to the rescue.

ADVERTORIAL

P

lanning your special day? The Vineyard Guest Lodge and Wedding Venue is committed to ensuring that you and your guests enjoy the magical wedding experience you deserve.

While our beautiful venue is large enough to host 150 guests comfortably, we pride ourselves on our intimate attention to detail.

And because every bridal couple is unique, we strive to create individual, personalised wedding packages that exceeds your personal expectations.

The Vineyard is situated in lush coastal farmland just 19km from East London and feature beautiful sea views and country vistas, complete with small game and abundant bird life. A picturesque vineyard, authentic ox wagon and spectacular gardens ensure endless stunning photo opportunities.

For the ceremony, we offer an open-air chapel with ceremonial pews. In case of inclement weather, an alternative, covered area will be

made available. Our venue boasts a light and airy feel with doors opening onto a wrap-around deck.

A gorgeous fireplace and open trusses, as well as white, Parisianstyle wooden tables, contribute to the romantic ambience.

Catering is done in-house and features an extensive buffet menu and fully licenced cash bar.

To round out a gorgeous wedding experience, the Vineyard also has a luxurious three-bedroom, selfcatering bridal unit, complete with deck and panoramic views, as well as other accommodation options on the farm and close by.

A special feature of every Vineyard wedding is our love gate where the bridal couple will secure a lock engraved with their names. The key may be disposed of in the hole that we use to plant a tree for them.

Couples are invited to come and picnic under their tree every year on their wedding anniversary to witness their love growing.

World Hearing Day

W

orld Hearing Day is observed on 3 March as an annual advocacy event to promote hearing care by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Their intention is to “raise awareness on how to prevent deafness and hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care across the world”.

This year their theme is “Hear the future”. From continuous studies and surveys being conducted, it has been noted that there is a rise in the number of people that will be affected by some sort of hearing loss in the future. Within the younger population, this is due to unsafe listening practices.

Among the older population, it is estimated that 15% live with some degree of hearing loss.

Hearing loss can be caused by the various contributing factors: • • • • • •

Natural aging Exposure to loud noise Ototoxic medication Head injury Illness Heredity

There still seems to be a stigma attached to hearing loss and the use of an assistive hearing device. It is more common for someone to have their eyes 22

tested if they notice their vision blurring, than it is for someone to have their hearing tested if they increasingly find themselves battling to hear or follow conversations. It is imperative for this attitude to be changed. There are many side effects that people do not take into account when they ignore the early signs of hearing loss. People start to alienate themselves. They remove themselves from social situations, which can result in the onset of loneliness or even depression. Technology within the hearing industry is believed to be developing faster than technology in any other field. Assisted hearing has never been easier. Hearing aids can now be linked directly to your smart phone, television, radio, and more. They are also virtually invisible and custom designed to suit every ones individual needs from the retiree on a tight budget to the young professional wanting to incorporate all levels of technology, that are available, into their lives.

It is said that if you lose your eye sight, you are shut off from things, but if you lose your hearing, you are shut off from people. Call Smart Hearing today for a FREE Hearing Screening Test, 043 555 3277.

Grand Prix Racing history returns to Buffalo City

E

ighty-four years after the first East London Grand Prix, vintage racers - Maseratis, Bugattis and Rileys will once again roar around legendary Prince George circuit on the West bank. At least a handful of these famous racing machines will be the very ones that raced in the first 1934 Grand Prix.

The November 2018 event will be the South African Historic Grand Prix Festival and the aim is to celebrate the iconic racers and cars that had more than 80 000 cheering spectators on their feet in the late 1930s.

The organisers are aiming for: ...a commemorative race at the East London Grand Prix Circuit combined with a parade around the original 11mile long Prince George race circuit on 25 November 2018 – a fantastic opportunity for vintage car and Grand Prix enthusiasts to witness these great cars driven in anger in South Africa for the first time in 80 years.

After many years of negotiation, it seems that the groundwork has been laid for a massive rejuvenation of motor sport in East London. Many petrol-heads are hoping that if we play our cards right, the

city may even see the return of an official international Grand Prix.

Work is currently underway to compile a book on the history of early Grand Prix racing in East London – scheduled for release during the Festival.

The East London museum has kindly provided access to its archives for research purposes and classic motorsport fundis like Norman Hickel are lending a hand with expert advice.

The excited volunteers working on this project aim to draw in corporate partners who will support and host a celebration of East London’s unique motor racing history. Although plans are still unfolding, the idea is that corporate names linked to motoring or the pioneers of the first Grand Prix will host the display and become part of a movement to restore Grand Prix racing in East London to its rightful place in a manner that benefits the entire city.

A key focus of the East London Grand Prix book will be the vision and tenacity of Edward ‘Brud’ Bishop, the motoring editor of the Daily Dispatch in the early 1930s. One Sunday, Bishop was having a slow news day and decided to follow-up on a lacklustre story about a

Whitney Straight, the winner of the first 1934 Grand Prix is warming up the famous Maserati and talking to his mechanic Ramponi. newly constructed Divisional Council road. Anticipating little excitement or urgency in the piece, Bishop took a leisurely Sunday drive to explore the recently constructed circular road network, then known locally as Marine Drive, on the West Bank. As he cruised along the fresh tar, accompanied by his girlfriend, Bishop’s imagination was ignited – this lengthy sightseeing route with its long straights and banked curves would make a very fine race track. Bishop began to spin a series of optimistic articles around his vision and found a receptive network of newspaper contacts back in his home country, England. The East London track or Prince George’s circuit as it came to be known, would host five Grand Prix events before World War

II mothballed racing on most continents.

Many will have heard of Brud Bishop’s role in launching Grand Prix racing in East London onto the world stage in the mid to late thirties.

Less well-known is Bishop’s claim that he sacrificed his sweetheart to the Grand Prix cause. Bishop claims that he became so fixated with the race track potential of the new looped public road, especially the banked bridge beyond Leach’s Bay, that he completed four circuits despite the protestations of his presumably bored companion. On the 5th attempt, his girlfriend erupted, snatched the ignition keys and, on spotting friends in a passing vehicle, bailed out of Edward’s car and his life… or so he would have us believe.

The What’s On will bring you monthly updates on Grand Prix history and news of progress towards the GP Festival in November.
