Swartland Marathon Shindig on Sat 19th June 2010

 

Preparations for the hosting of the 5th Swartland Canoe Marathon are gathering steam. On Saturday night, 19 June 2010 which is the overnight stop of the Swartland Canoe Marathon, the Peninsula Canoe Club, who are presenting the race, will also host the inaugural Swartland Shindig. 

 

The Swartland Shindig will be held at The Barn in Riebeck Kasteel which is walking distance from the centre of town.  Unable to secure Julius Malema for the evening the club has gone one better and engaged the band amaBhulu  who describe themselves as a truly South African band blending boeremusiek with various indigenous styles including kwela, mbaqanga, ghoema and world styles including blues, folk, rock and trancendental balladry. Something for everyone.  Just don’t kill the band.

 

Entrance will be free for Swartland paddlers.  A small cover charge will apply to family, friends and visitors.  There will be a bar and the adjoining Ed’s Diner sells everything from burgers to classic cars, for those who want them.

 

The Swartland lucky draws will be held at the Swartland Shindig, so if you want to win enter the 2010 Swartland Canoe Marathon and come to the Swartland Shindig.  We kick ass!
