Tuesday 26/11 Spanish Tapas restaurant
A great night of tapas, paella and photographing the lovely flamenco dancers.
Review
Spanish Tapas Restaurant has a never-ending queue of people lining out the doors. Large groups are drawn to the jugs of Sangria on offer, fantastic food, great service, live flamenco shows (Mon, Fri and Sat nights only) and the endless sound of laughter and good fun. The banquet menus are great value – offering a selection of tapas and paella.

Feedback from judge
Thank you to all who helped organise such a happy, friendly and fun end of year luncheon to acknowledge the great work from all club members who had won awards during the year. I was honored to be invited to judge the end of year categories and I certainly had a hard time choosing the different category winners. The event itself went off without a hitch and I am sure that everyone appreciated the efforts that the organisers put in. Congratulations again to all the members that contributed images throughout the year.Keep up the great work.
Kind regards Tanya Du Toit
