0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Weekend breakfast with Sarah Jane, Marguala King on k Talk

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:06.680
<v Speaker 1>on Kate Talk.

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 2>All right, but how we start the show every Saturday

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 2>morning is with Sjay's topics, three things that we found

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:15.440
<v Speaker 2>that you might like to get up to in and

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:20.920
<v Speaker 2>around the Western Cape this week end, and a bit

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:22.840
<v Speaker 2>of a focus on what you can get up to

0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 2>with the kids for the rest of the Hondai. Certainly

0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 2>in our first two topics. First up, Cape Gate Shopping

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Center has brought back the much loved Cape Gate ice rink.

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 2>It's open until the twenty first of this month, from

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 2>ten until ten until seven earlier, closing on Sundays and

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 2>at kids age three to thirteen are invited to go

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 2>and skate with their parents through fifty minute sessions of

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 2>winter fun. And joining me on the line with the

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 2>details is marketing manager Zoe Encelin. So good to have

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 2>you with us this morning, and thanks so much for

0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 2>joining us. Where exactly has the ice rink been set

0:00:59.920 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 2>up up?

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Sarah Jane, thank you so much for having me.

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 3>So the ice drink is set up in our covered

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 3>parking area, so it's close to entrance six.

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, close to entrancing. What sort of how what are

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>the logistics of building a temporary ice rink in the

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 2>car park of a shopping mall.

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's quite a project. So we usually set up

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 3>there about two weeks before the time it's it's a

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.479
<v Speaker 3>full board, so they lay down a base, they boild

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 3>the walls, they put in the pipes, they connect a

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 3>big chiller and a big tub with glycol in it.

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 3>So it's a full proper ice drink. So it takes

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:42.199
<v Speaker 3>a whole freezing process which usually takes about seven days

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 3>until it's ready. Yeah, so it's a it's a junior

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:46.960
<v Speaker 3>until the final product.

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 2>When when did you open?

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 3>We opened on the twenty seventh of June.

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you've been open open for a while now.

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>And what is what a visitor number has been like

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 2>so far?

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's been going very well. Our weekends are sold out,

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 3>so we really do recommend that you book online. Weekdays

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 3>are a little bit slower, but we are about fifty percent

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.519
<v Speaker 3>booked outs during the week. Over weekends we fully booked.

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, fantastic And just tell us you say, it's kids

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 2>three to thirteen and their parents. I've got small kids.

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Do I need to get on the ice with them,

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.399
<v Speaker 2>because that's going to be a disaster for everybody.

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.239
<v Speaker 3>No, look, that's completely up to you. We do, however,

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 3>just recommend that if the kid is between the age

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.920
<v Speaker 3>of three and five, that the parent is more than

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 3>welcome to join them on the ice. The parent would

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:38.639
<v Speaker 3>need to pay a ticket as well, because you need

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 3>to have skates on and the part we had parents

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 3>going on in the issoes and we're like, no, no, no,

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 3>that's a hot and safety risk. We cannot do that.

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:48.519
<v Speaker 3>So you more than welcome to between the age of

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 3>three and five. But otherwise if you don't feel that

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:52.959
<v Speaker 3>you want to go on the ice, we have a

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 3>very professional, very professional team. So our promoters on the ice,

0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 3>there's about five to seven of them at a time,

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 3>depending on how busy is and they are there to

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 3>help the kids. We've also got those law and we

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 3>call them like law penguins, all supports that they can

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 3>push on as well. So there's a good support structure

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 3>for the kiddies in there.

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, fantastic. In terms of booking, then how do we

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 2>go about doing that? And how much are tickets?

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 3>So you can book online and web tickets and our

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 3>ticket price is seventy rand for the regular sessions and

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 3>the last session of every day, So our last session

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 3>from Monday to Saturday would be six pm and our

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 3>last session on a Sunday would be four pm. That

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 3>one we've turned and we made a little bit more fun.

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 3>We've turned into a silent disco. So for the ticket

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 3>for that is ninety rand.

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.680

<v Speaker 3>They are quite chilly down there, I must say so. Yeah,

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 3>are just dress warmly for safety. We've got a little

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 3>holmets for the kiddies in case they fallen bove their head,

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.080

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>that Stephen has written. I mean, his interpretation is just

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 1>so absolutely beautiful and exciting. When I wrote the read

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>the script for the first time, because we're coming in

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 1>you listen to this production, I mean I was giggling

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>so much just throughout the thing. So funny because he

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.720
<v Speaker 1>really has written something for for the young people as

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.719
<v Speaker 1>well as for the aunties, the uncles, the mums and

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>dads were coming to see it. Right.

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, it's magical. It's current, so current, and it's so relevant,

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 4>and it's just filled with so much magic and so

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 4>much heart.

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.720

<v Speaker 2>I did do. I did do some zimba the other

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 2>day at the gym. And again, much like the skating,

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I've realized it's maybe not my forte. The zimba. I

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you've ever done zumba, Have you had

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 2>a go? It's an awful lot of fun, but my

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:08.159
<v Speaker 2>goodness me, you've got to have the moves. Anyway, there

<v Speaker 2>Zoe from Cape Gate says there are still tickets for

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.480
