eneration Schools Hermanus’s annual Food Fair & Art Auction (originally called Foods of the World) took place in the school’s front courtyard on Friday 1 November. Ticket holders could help themselves to five delicious dishes from around the world: a Greek mezze platter, vegetarian curry, sushi and spring roll, chicken and wors, and an American donut. For the younger children there was also pizza available.

food, the art auction began. Parents bid enthusiastically on the pieces made by the children (of all ages), including beautifully decorated bowls and plates. All funds raised from the Food Fair & Art Auction went towards the school. The event would not have been possible without the educators, Co.Lab team (PTA moms) and parents who made all the decorations and the food for the evening.
The courtyard was beautifully decorated with flags and 3D hot air balloon art which hung near the entrance. Upon arrival, guests were greeted by a large sign saying, ‘Let the adventure begin’ and the sound of music and laughter.

T
he inaugural Hermanus Cross Country Olympics (XCO) mountain bike race for youngsters took place on Saturday 2 November in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. This event was organised by parents from Hermanus High and Curro Hermanus. The races started with the Sub-Junior and Youth age group (13 – 16) and ended with the Junior Men (17 – 18). The club is very excited to be promoting the sport among boys and girls.
Children had their faces painted and played soccer whilst parents and older siblings were able to relax and socialise. After filling up on delicious
The course consisted of jeep tacks where riders could overtake one another and single tracks, with sharp turns and steep uphills and downhills.
The Overberg BMX Club held their monthly race at their track behind the Hermanus Sports Club on Sunday 3 November. The track is almost completed, and the developers hope to have it done by the end of the year. The skate park being built behind the track has started to show some progress as the concrete base has been laid. The results from Sunday were as follows: U6 boys – Noah Rademeyer (first) and Tiesto Peluso (second); U10 boys and U11 girls – Jesse Rademeyer (first), Jack Hilton (second) and Lydia Rademeyer (third); U15 boys – Lohan Burger (first), Xolani Rhembo (second) and Simanye Ntsethe (third). The next race, BMXTREME Showdown, will be on 7 December and will have fantastic prizes. Contact 064 785 9417 for more.

Building the 5.3 km track took a lot of sweat and blood as berms (corners with a banked outer edge) and jumps had to be created. The hard work paid off though, as the young riders thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Apart from the main prize (a full bike service from Village Cycles Hermanus), five lucky winners also received a Giant & Liv Bicycles SA goody bag with a bottle cage and bottle, control blast with canister, and a phone stand from Nicol Carstens (who rode in the Wine 2 Whales which finished in Hermanus over the weekend). This event would not have been possible without the hard work of all the
parents and organisers involved. Hermanus XCO would like to thank their sponsors Rola Volkswagen (main sponsor), Oasis Water Hermanus, Seeff Hermanus, Coastline Flooring, Engen Hermanus, Buco Hermanus, Nautilus Decorators, Enduren, Ocean Creek Spur Hermanus and KAD Construction. Special thanks to OTI (Overstrand Training Institute) especially Peter and Debby for making the event possible. Hermanus XCO plans to grow the event substantially next year after the success of this inaugural race. View more about the event on https://www.instagram.com/hermanus_xco/. – Taylum Meyer
