Speaker 1: Weekend breakfast with Sarah Jane, Marguala King on k Talk
Speaker 1: on Kate Talk.
Speaker 2: All right, but how we start the show every Saturday
Speaker 2: morning is with Sjay's topics, three things that we found
Speaker 2: that you might like to get up to in and
Speaker 2: around the Western Cape this week end, and a bit
Speaker 2: of a focus on what you can get up to
Speaker 2: with the kids for the rest of the Hondai. Certainly
Speaker 2: in our first two topics. First up, Cape Gate Shopping
Speaker 2: Center has brought back the much loved Cape Gate ice rink.
Speaker 2: It's open until the twenty first of this month, from
Speaker 2: ten until ten until seven earlier, closing on Sundays and
Speaker 2: at kids age three to thirteen are invited to go
Speaker 2: and skate with their parents through fifty minute sessions of
Speaker 2: winter fun. And joining me on the line with the
Speaker 2: details is marketing manager Zoe Encelin. So good to have
Speaker 2: you with us this morning, and thanks so much for
Speaker 2: joining us. Where exactly has the ice rink been set
Speaker 2: up up?
Speaker 3: Good morning, Sarah Jane, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 3: So the ice drink is set up in our covered
Speaker 3: parking area, so it's close to entrance six.
Speaker 2: Okay, close to entrancing. What sort of how what are
Speaker 2: the logistics of building a temporary ice rink in the
Speaker 2: car park of a shopping mall.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's quite a project. So we usually set up
Speaker 3: there about two weeks before the time it's it's a
Speaker 3: full board, so they lay down a base, they boild
Speaker 3: the walls, they put in the pipes, they connect a
Speaker 3: big chiller and a big tub with glycol in it.
Speaker 3: So it's a full proper ice drink. So it takes
Speaker 3: a whole freezing process which usually takes about seven days
Speaker 3: until it's ready. Yeah, so it's a it's a junior
Speaker 3: until the final product.
Speaker 2: When when did you open?
Speaker 3: We opened on the twenty seventh of June.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you've been open open for a while now.
Speaker 2: And what is what a visitor number has been like
Speaker 2: so far?
Speaker 3: Oh, it's been going very well. Our weekends are sold out,
Speaker 3: so we really do recommend that you book online. Weekdays
Speaker 3: are a little bit slower, but we are about fifty percent
Speaker 3: booked outs during the week. Over weekends we fully booked.
Speaker 2: Okay, fantastic And just tell us you say, it's kids
Speaker 2: three to thirteen and their parents. I've got small kids.
Speaker 2: Do I need to get on the ice with them,
Speaker 2: because that's going to be a disaster for everybody.
Speaker 3: No, look, that's completely up to you. We do, however,
Speaker 3: just recommend that if the kid is between the age
Speaker 3: of three and five, that the parent is more than
Speaker 3: welcome to join them on the ice. The parent would
Speaker 3: need to pay a ticket as well, because you need
Speaker 3: to have skates on and the part we had parents
Speaker 3: going on in the issoes and we're like, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: that's a hot and safety risk. We cannot do that.
Speaker 3: So you more than welcome to between the age of
Speaker 3: three and five. But otherwise if you don't feel that
Speaker 3: you want to go on the ice, we have a
Speaker 3: very professional, very professional team. So our promoters on the ice,
Speaker 3: there's about five to seven of them at a time,
Speaker 3: depending on how busy is and they are there to
Speaker 3: help the kids. We've also got those law and we
Speaker 3: call them like law penguins, all supports that they can
Speaker 3: push on as well. So there's a good support structure
Speaker 3: for the kiddies in there.
Speaker 2: Okay, fantastic. In terms of booking, then how do we
Speaker 2: go about doing that? And how much are tickets?
Speaker 3: So you can book online and web tickets and our
Speaker 3: ticket price is seventy rand for the regular sessions and
Speaker 3: the last session of every day, So our last session
Speaker 3: from Monday to Saturday would be six pm and our
Speaker 3: last session on a Sunday would be four pm. That
Speaker 3: one we've turned and we made a little bit more fun.
Speaker 3: We've turned into a silent disco. So for the ticket
Speaker 3: for that is ninety rand.
Speaker 2: Okay, fantastic stuff. I'm so looking forward to bringing my
Speaker 2: kids down there. They are virgin skaters. I am not,
Speaker 2: but I may as well be. But yeah, all fun
Speaker 2: and games, anything, any sort of safety measures, any clothing recommendations,
Speaker 2: what do we need to bring? Presumably it's pretty chilly.
Speaker 3: They are quite chilly down there, I must say so. Yeah,
Speaker 3: are just dress warmly for safety. We've got a little
Speaker 3: holmets for the kiddies in case they fallen bove their head,
Speaker 3: so we extra cautious. We also have a medical on site,
Speaker 3: so parents really can have that eas of mind that
Speaker 3: your kidi is safe and just having a whole bunch
Speaker 3: of friends, aren't they.
Speaker 2: I am looking forward to coming and getting my skates on,
Speaker 2: and you should get your skates on. Two tickets are

Speaker 2: Next up another winter holiday delight for the kids, and
Speaker 2: this one's at the Baxter Theater. The magical pantomime Jack
Speaker 2: and the bean Stalk runs until the twenty seventh of
Speaker 2: this month. A friend of mine I'm going this week.
Speaker 2: A friend of mine went last week and said it's
Speaker 2: absolutely brilliant. A little while ago, I spoke to two
Speaker 2: of the performance from Jack and the bean Stalks, Manthlander
Speaker 2: and Brent Palmer. Let's take a little listen to what
Speaker 2: they had to say about the show. Let's start with
Speaker 2: the magic Beans. One of those who don't know about
Speaker 2: Jack and the bean Stalk, what can we expect from
Speaker 2: this from this production.
Speaker 1: Samantha, you want to go?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Browns will take.
Speaker 1: This all right?
Speaker 4: I will so. Jack and the bean Stalk is a wonderful,
Speaker 4: family filled production about a very sweet, kind, slightly naive
Speaker 4: boy named Jack and his mother, Dame Flatbrooke. And this
Speaker 4: fabulous panther is about Jack trying to rescue his mum
Speaker 4: and you know sort of bring what's the word I'm
Speaker 4: looking for, brand like bring joy and bring bring happiness
Speaker 4: back to.
Speaker 1: The and happiness restoring order into this beautiful, exuberant narrative
Speaker 1: that Stephen has written. I mean, his interpretation is just
Speaker 1: so absolutely beautiful and exciting. When I wrote the read
Speaker 1: the script for the first time, because we're coming in
Speaker 1: you listen to this production, I mean I was giggling
Speaker 1: so much just throughout the thing. So funny because he
Speaker 1: really has written something for for the young people as
Speaker 1: well as for the aunties, the uncles, the mums and
Speaker 1: dads were coming to see it. Right.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's magical. It's current, so current, and it's so relevant,
Speaker 4: and it's just filled with so much magic and so
Speaker 4: much heart.
Speaker 2: There we go. That is Jack and the bean Stalk
Speaker 2: on at the Baxter, running until the twenty seventh. Tickets
Speaker 2: again available via web tickets. They start at two hundred
Speaker 2: and ten round two shows today, one at eleven, one
Speaker 2: at three point thirty, and then again at tomorrow at
Speaker 2: three pm, and you can check the Baxter's website for
Speaker 2: showtimes for the rest of the run. And then, finally,
Speaker 2: for the fitness fanatics among us, how about getting up
Speaker 2: early tomorrow to join a free zimber class. Depends how early. Honestly,
Speaker 2: I did do. I did do some zimba the other
Speaker 2: day at the gym. And again, much like the skating,
Speaker 2: I've realized it's maybe not my forte. The zimba. I
Speaker 2: don't know if you've ever done zumba, Have you had
Speaker 2: a go? It's an awful lot of fun, but my
Speaker 2: goodness me, you've got to have the moves. Anyway, there
Speaker 2: is a zumba class happening tomorrow and every Sunday morning
