Eat, drink and be merry at National Boat Show
The watersports lifestyle goes hand-in-hand with great, fresh, tasty food – and this year the National Boat Show & Dive Expo is introducing a new Boatyard Food Market offering a range of delicious preserves, foodstuffs, produce, fine wines, recipes and treats.
And what’s a day out on the water without a lekker braai afterwards? The Weber® Secrets of the Grillmaster area gives visitors the opportunity to witness the Weber® “grillmaster” live in action and learn all the tricks of the trade.
But if you’re confident that you’re already a braaiing legend, roll up your sleeves and test your skills at the daily cook-off to win smokin’-hot prizes, courtesy of Weber®. Sizzling stuff!
Cool off after all the shopping, seeing and sampling with a refreshing beer or cocktail at the Peroni Café or SAB Sports Bar - because this show is as much for the ladies as it is for the guys! And fantastic news for rugby fans is that the sports bars at the Boat Show will be screening the Tri-Nations match between South Africa and Australia live from 5pm on Saturday, 13 August.
Don’t miss the National Boat Show & Dive Expo, sponsored by the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA), at the Coca-Cola dome in Joburg from 12 to 14 August 2011. Visit www.myboatshow.co.za for more details.
