Calling Soodum

13 years 2 months ago

I have just heard that Cedar Rock Pub/ Tab/ Bookmakers in Kyalami will be closed on Friday and Sunday.

WTF - are they allowed to close as and when they feel like it.

There is PE and KZN racing on Friday and KZN again on Sunday.

Is there any other pub/tab in the Midrand area, please let me know.

Religious observation is enshrined in our constitution and although Derek is not that religious the actual owners and back office staff are very religious.....it is therefore their right not to open for business over Easter...,if TopBet is not your cup of tea then Bucclueh is just down the drag....

No he also closes on Mondays and for 2-3 weeks in December.....the establishment is called The Cedars and not Cedar Rock which is a townhouse complex in Vorna Valley that was built by an ex-trainer that used to frequent The Cedars....he trained a horse named Cedar Rock who was no star but they backed it to get the lot...

Quite the opposite, I don't go there because of Grant's gang.....and no Paul was never a trainer but his Dad Johnny was....and other of the Joseph family owned Rafters and Derek was not working there....

Signs of the times.....even hardened punters have pressures on disposable income..... Car sales at Honda must be under the squeeze too....
