The day after the big "T".

ummmm i hate to tell you this BUT Steinhoff (or Phumelela) did have a marketing company do the marketing - I personally stood in there office a few days prior to the meeting! I had won 2 tickets for there tent and I managed to get another 30 free tickets for the dismall attempt of an FTV after party.

I personally feel that the Summercup will never have the feel of the July and the Met - well not never BUT it needs to be done slowly, each and every year to build it up! one cant expect to have 5000 people and then the next have 20 000....

People in JHB are hard to please you see it in every avenue..... there is just too many things happening in JHB so UNLESS you are a race goer the Summercup doesnt have the appeal.... how to get it appealing.... ?? Who knows....

I think there was a good turn out of people BUT could be better.... was chatting to a mate in the UK who is VERY involved in racing there and his comment was that it looked like it was put together on a shoe string budget..... i cant comment on that cos I must be honest didnt watch too much on the TV and was far to busy chatting up Oscar!!

Howzit Possum!

Chating up Oscar. . . looks like I missed my chance last vist boo hoo - lol!

I think having a 'free draw' for say a car or such might put a 1,000 on the gate. Plus get the 'latest' hot SA music act to perform at the after party etc. might help get that going too!

Davey G thanks for coming up mate it was great..I shall be posting a few bets outa yr book on fri evening so that the horse punters can get their money back..I took the Sunday suggested all on with 5 teams and it paid me 36.5 to 1. Gotta make a trip down to see you guys and get my old surfing buddies together.

Possum howzit babes..I must train you how to "chat" someone up..have you organised the Met trip yet?

hmmmmm Oscar - you told me you dont do the FUNKY MONKEY WITH ANYONE remember so I was taken aback........

Oh damn..Im gonna have to change my ways dunno whats got into me.

exactly......

thought i was wasting my efforts......

Oscar. Do I take it that you now DO 'The Funky Monkey' LOL!

Guys, thinking of a trip for 'The Met'. Or would you recommend 'The July' more?

The thing is I'm in Tenerife' mid-Feb 4 their annual carnival (8days) and the met is about 3 weeks before - so maybe The July would be better???

What in Tenerife? 21st Feb - 01 Mar.

The Met is 31st Jan = 3 weeks B4 massive Tenerife party! 5 nights street party 5-6am - yiks!!!

Jim the Met is a far better deal than the July.

imvho

Crap DBN has waves CPT only has a bloody mountain that causes shade wherever you go.

Should bulldoze the mountain and put up so low cost housing then much better town to visit.( Nearly called it a city needs to have a pulse first!!)

Sylv hee hee must agree with you mate!

Jim ure a young single guy mate..go to both and your party.

That's what I'm thinking Oscar.

If I can square me finances mate I'm there - OUZO!
