Convention Weekend
As convention is only a day or two away, many of you have questions as
to the program for the weekend and transport on Friday (for those who
have pre-arranged it).
With regards to transport, a large bus will be arriving at Cape Town
airport sometime after 6pm on Friday. We ask everyone who has
requested and paid for this transport to go and wait near the
information desk on the lower floor of the airport (this is just
outside the Woolworths entrance and at the foot of the main escalators
leading up to check-in..ask someone if you are unsure). A High
Counsellor (Bro Zondane 071 901 0591) should be there before the
bus arrives, to organise your getting on to the bus. Its roughly a two
hour drive to convention, so be prepared. Please contact us as soon as
you can should your flight be delayed. Know also that there is only
one bus, if you arrive early you will have to wait, and if you arrive
late, well...(=
Although there is a structured program for convention, you are welcome
to take as much time out as you wish. The only strict times will be
that of meal times, Saturday Dance and Sunday Church meetings.
Although the theme for the Saturday night dance is beach party, please
know that that dance will not be held on the beach. There is an open
hall which we will be candle lit, and we expect everyone to come
dressed appropriately. Here is what a member of the CT YSA Reps
committee has to say about dressing up:
"Even though the theme for the dance is 'beach party', just a short
reminder that standards of modest dress still apply. That means no
swimming attire, short shorts/dresses, tank tops,...you get the
picture. Guys, please no vests. The idea is for it to be extremely
relaxed, you are in Cape Town after all. So let your hair down and
where come casual if you want." - Sarah Beavis
Some ideas for the girls:
- shorts and t-shirt
- sarong as a skirt
- bohemian look
- flowers in hair etc
