Weather
We love to chat about the weather in St Francis Bay, and this weekend gave us plenty to discuss. The forecasts looked so wild, and many people talked, argued, and contested the information. There was so much bad weather coming that it seemed implausible that there would be so much wind from the east at such ridiculous strengths and so much rain.
Well, it came. Whether the intensity was as per predictions, the wind howled from the east, a cut-off low sat on us, and for many of us fortunate enough to own tanks, they are all now full. Many people felt the full brunt of the rain, with 22 Eatery washed out on Saturday with more rain to come.
If the forecast charts are consistent, we will have more rain throughout the week, and the long-term prediction of a dry winter is already waning.
FOSTER Jol
Regarding the weather, the FOSTER Jol was postponed until next weekend due to the rain. Per their announcement, “On Saturday, due to the heavy rains, the FOSTER committee, the Resort and the bands decided to postpone the Jol by a week to next Saturday, June 8. Same time, same theme, same venue.
Those who had bought tickets on Quicket were advised accordingly, and these tickets are now valid for June 8, as are those who purchased from the Resort. We will refund you if you have bought tickets and cannot attend next week. Please get in touch with Antoinette on WhatsApp at +27 (82) 738-3980.
Saturday looks set to be a good weather day, so please come and enjoy the evening and support FOSTER. After all this lovely rain, our trails will need lots of maintenance, so the funds raised will always be put to good use.
The committee would also like to thank Chris, Dave, the band members, Anita, and Jason from the CSF Resort for their flexibility and support.
Voting
The voting in St Francis Bay was quick, efficient, and straightforward, with many people lining up in the left or right queues and lots of chatter and meet-ups. While we await all the final tallies and all objections to be cleared, it is clear that the people of South Africa have spoken, and our political landscape has changed forever. Over the next few weeks, we will see who will form functional and/or crooked coalitions, who will stay arrogant, and who will actually make decisions for the people who voted for them. It is going to be a very interesting week. Well done to everyone who voted; we all want things to improve.
