ORKNEY SNORK NIE-FEES: GLAD NIE AAN DIE SLAAP NIE!
Orkney Snork nie-fees het net soos vorige jare glad nie gesnork
nie maar uit prêt en plesier bestaan. Die fees wat deur die
gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum en SAPD aangebied was het by die
Ceroniopark in Shakespearlaan plaas gevind en was ‘n groot
sukses. ‘n Klompie kunstenaars het opgtree en ‘n paar akteurs
van Binnelanders het lekker saam gekuier. Die doel van die fees
was om die gemeenskap bewus te maak van misdaad teen vroue en
kinders. Hope vermaak was aangebied vir oud en jonk. Onthou om
volgende jaar se fees nie mis te loop nie.
