Wednesday 3 September 2008GOLF
The golf will be held at the Atlantic Beach Golf Course situated 20 minutes from the Cape Town city centre. The golf is kindly sponsored by Smith and Nephew and will be no cost to delegates.
Enjoy the Championship Links style Golf Course with its traditional style and an ocean breeze off the ocean. On calm days you can play your normal lofted shot or on windy days you can use the firm turf to play low running shots, beneath the wind. Either way, we are sure you will enjoy the challenge around this Atlantic Beach Links Golf Course which was built with a serious commitment to the preservation of the indigenous fauna and flora.
Compared to other golf courses in Cape Town, on completion of your 18 holes around our course you will agree that it is the combination of good golf in unsurpassed natural surroundings that make a unique golfing experience."

"An hour's drive north-east from Cape Town, through rolling farmlands, takes you to the welcoming gates of Kloovenburg. The estate is situated in the Riebeek Valley, part of the Swartland. Kloovenburg's vineyards and olive Groves herald the entrance to the picturesque Riebeek Valley.
Kloovenburg Stretches along the lower contours of Kasteel Mountain where the north-easterly slopes have proved ideal for the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon cultivars and the south¬westerly and easterly slopes favour Shiraz.

"Situated on the farm Môrester, in the beautiful fertile valley of Riebeek-Kasteel , Het Vlock Casteel derives its name from the castle-like building near the entrance to the farm. This building conjures up thoughts of the Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town and is the hub of activity for the processing of the wide range of produce available at the farm shop.
An olive press, where the farm's olives are pressed for oil, as well as the farm's wine cellar is also located here. With future plans for a restaurant with breathtaking views across the valley, the castle is set to become a well known attraction to tourists visiting the region.
Produce is sold under the Het Vlock Casteel label and consists of a very interesting collection of varieties and recipes. Olive Oil is one of the main lines of produce, with the choice of six different varieties, including a unique lemon flavoured olive oil.
Other produce available includes wine, jams, chutney and dessert-toppings. Gift basket in various sizes are also available".
