Win Cash and Beer with St Francis Today and The St Francis Brewery
St Francis Bay: The local daily newsletter and website in St Francis Bay, St Francis Today, has two competitions running, with money, beer and beer vouchers as prizes, which are all quite lekker wins.
The first content is the St Francis Today writing competition. St Francis Today calls for entries into the writing competition if you are an experienced writer or a novice, young or old. The rules are simple. Between 500 and 700 words per entry, entries must be with St Francis Today before the public holiday on 15 December, and we will announce the winner by the end of the year. The winning story will get published in the print magazine Wildside TIMES. The winner also banks a lovely R1000 cash. Our last winner was Liz Spowart; her story is in this Christmas edition of Wildside TIMES.
The second competition is the Write an award-winning comment, win cash or beer.
Then, to get our comments section rolling, we are offering R1000 for the best comments over the next 30 days or so. We are looking for sharp, witty and insightful commentary. We will delete all the all shit comments.
On top of this, St Francis Today has partnered with the St Francis Brewery to give away a case of beer for the Funniest Comment until 15 December. We are looking for something that will make us laugh out loud. The winner gets a mixed case of St Francis Brewery Beer, and the runner-up in the giggles division gets 4 x beer tasting vouchers from the Brewery valued at R340.
Get cracking, send in those stories and comments, entertain the editorial staff and readers, and hopefully win prizes.

Notes From The Editor – That Was A Big Weekend
As waves go, this weekend was quite a tremendous affair. The giant surf (some forecasts called it 40ft on the wild side) combined with spring high tides, a southerly shift in swell direction and a 19-second swell period culminated in severe wave damage up and down the coast.
For some local video coverage, check out ST FRANCIS BAY – The Official Community Group and scroll down. Quite a few videos are in the comments sections.
Here are a few of the top headlines over the weekend, as well as a selection of reading material regards the storm damage up and down the coast

PS: Thanks to all those who helped yesterday at Bruce’s after I slipped on the jump-off rock, missed the jump and got hurled over the rocks underwater at quite a ferocious pace. Apparently, it was pretty funny, but I only saw the funny side of it after the doctor at Greenacres gave me some of that proper pain medication.
