A New Secretary Needed for the PRRA

As most are now aware I will be stepping down from the PRRA as we are intending to move to the coast during the course of the next year.

 This means that various functions within the PRRA will be needing a new champion. They can be split into three different categories

1.    Secretarial duties for the PRRA including organising meetings, AGM and taking of minutes

2.    Communications including preparation and management of the weekly newsletter and website (with the help of our long suffering webmaster!), maintenance of noticeboards, and press liaison. 

3.    Fundraising and events including fairs and Halloween

If you’d like to get involved in any of these areas or would like to know more please call me on 0827775624 or mail me on This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it  

 

 
Letter of the Week - Are Ice Cream vans a service or noise pollution?

A Mt Innis Street Resident writes ...

I'm not sure whether anyone else has an issue with the ice-cream van that drives around the Drakenstein / Maluti area on a weekend but I've lost track of the amount of times it has woken my sleeping toddler.  I have enough of a battle getting him to sleep, only to have him woken half an hour later by the blaring, tinny tune, I've asked the driver to turn the volume down but the next weekend its back to normal.  I also can't understand how it can start doing its rounds at 9:00 in the morning - does anyone know who the owner is as I'd like to ask them to start later, I don't believe there are many parents out there who would buy ice-cream for their child at this time of day anyway!  Every weekend I curse and swear and threaten to write this letter and this morning I decided I've had enough.  Please could someone either put a stop to the early start or get the volume turned down to a level that won't woke my child in his bedroom when they are still a block away.

Reply ... It is very difficult to stop anyone conducting legal activity on public roads. However we would be very interested to know how the community in general feel about this service. Are you buying ice cream and if so when? Do you feel these vans should be prevented from accessing our neighbourhood during certain hours? We need to get some idea of how the community in general feel on the issue if we are to be able to take this up with the business operator. Let us know ....
