George Old Car Show Celebrates 21st Anniversary
George – The George Old Car Show, driven by Oakhurst Insurance Company Limited, celebrates its 21st year of existence on 11 and 12 February 2017.
“This annual event of the Southern Cape Old Car Club (SCOCC), will celebrate the show2’s 21 years of existence with an exhibition of more than 1 000 vehicles,” said Phillip Rosser, chair of the committee organising the 2017 Show. It is expected that the 2016 record number of 12 000 visitors will be exceeded.
The extended Themalethu-Pacaltsdorp Drive-Thru was announced during the launch of the George Old Car Show, driven by Oakhurst Insurance Company Limited, at the Protea Hotel by Marriot King George in November last year.
This Drive-Thru on Sunday 5 February will definitely be one of the highlights of the George Old Car Show. Due to the popularity of the first drive through in 2016, it was decided to repeat it this year.
“The Drive-Thru is almost like a mobile billboard advertising the show in these areas where residents don’t traditionally attend the Show. The aim is to create awareness of he culture of old cars and the importance of conserving it for posterity.”
About six old cars, accompanied by the Southern Cape Old Car Club’s vintage fire-engine will drive through these two areas, while Herman Ungerer, the Club’s announcer, will tell residents more about the cars and the show in their own languages of Xhosa, English and Afrikaans
This fire-engine, which dates from 1962, which was used in Sedgefield, was donated to the Club a couple of years ago by the Knysna Municipality.
The Drive-Thru will take place under the supervision of George Traffic, and commences at 14:00. The vehicles will drive slowly through the areas to allow residents a closer look at the vehicles that Ungerer is telling them about in their own language.
The Municipality values this type of outreach to the different communities. “It is important to the Municipality that all residents form part of events like these, and the Thembalethu-Pacaltsdorp Drive-Thru is our way of involving all residents. We invite everybody to join this major event,” said Rosser.
The George Old Car Show, driven by Oakhurst Insurance Company Limited, takes place at the PW Botha College in York Street, George. Besides the SAB Beer Tent, managed by George Rotary, a number of stalls will offer food, soft drinks, and a variety of merchandise for sale. At a minimal fee young children may be left to play under supervision in a safe area. Parking is available on the school premises.

Gates will be open on Saturday 07:00 to 18:00 and Sunday 08:00 to 13:00.
The official opening by George executive mayor Melvin Naik will take place at 10:00 on Saturday.
George Oumotorskou vier 21 jaar
Ou motors steel oral harte
George – Die George Oumotorskou, gedrewe deur Oakhurst Versekeringsmaatskappy Beperk, vier op 11 en 12 Februarie 2017 sy 21ste bestaansjaar.
“Die 21ste bestaansjaar van die Suid-Kaap Oumotorklub (SKOMK) se George Oumotorskou word gevier met 2‘n uitstalling van meer as 1 000 voertuie en ek is seker ons gaan verlede jaar se rekord besoekerstal van 12 000 oorskry,” sê Phillip Rosser, voorsitter van die 2017 reëlingskomitee.
Die George Oumotorskou, gedrewe deur Oakhurst Versekeringsmaatskappy Beperk, is einde verlede jaar by die Protea Hotel by Marriot King George bekendgstel. Een van die hoogtepunte wat uitgelig is, is die Thembalethu-Pacaltsdorp-deurrit wat op die naweek voor die skou onderneem word.
Die Thembalethu-Pacaltsdorp-deurrit wat op Sondag 5 Februarie plaasvind, is een van die hoogtepunte in die aanloop tot die George Oumotorskou, gedrewe deur Oakhurst Versekeringsmaatskappy Beperk.
Die rit deur Thembalethu en Pacaltsdorp het verlede jaar vir die eerste keer plaasgevind en weens die oorweldigende positiewe reaksie wat dit in die woonbuurte ontlok het, is besluit om die rit vanjaar te herhaal.
“Die Thembalethu en Pacaltsdorp-deurrit is amper soos ‘n mobiele advertensiebord vir die skou in woonbuurte waar inwoners nie tradisioneel die Oumotorskou besoek nie, en die doel is bewusmaking van die kultuur van ou motors en wat gedoen word om die bewaring daarvan te bevorder.”
Sowat ses ou motors, vergesel deur die klub se gerestoureerde brandweerwa, gaan deur die twee woonbuurte ry. Herman Ungerer, die klub se aankondiger, sal deurentyd in Afrikaans, Engels en Xhosa meer vertel oor die voertuie wat aan die rit deelneem en dat hulle by die George Oumotorskou te sien sal wees.
Dié besondere brandweerwa, wat uit 1962 dateer, het voorheen aan die Knysna Munisipaliteit behoort en het in Sedgefield diens gedoen. Dit is ‘n paar jaar gelede aan die Suid-Kaap Oumotorklub geskenk.
Die deurrit, wat vergesel word deur die George Verkeersdepartement, begin omstreeks 14:00. Die voertuie ry teen ‘n stadige pas deur die woonbuurte wat inwoners geleentheid gee om die voertuie van naderby te bekyk en te luister na die inligting in hul eie taal oor die motors en die skou.
Hierdie wyse van uitreik na die onderkeie woonbuurte beteken baie vir die Munisipaliteit. “Dit is vir die George Munisipaliteit belangrik dat al die inwoners van George by sulke geleenthede betrek word, en die Thembalethu en Pacaltsdorp-deurrit is die organiseerders se manier om almal te betrek. Ons nooi almal om deel te wees van dié grootste geleentheid,” sê Rosser.
Die George Oumotorskou, gedrewe deur Oakhurst Versekering Beperk, vind plaas by die PW Botha Kollege in Yorkstraat, George. Naas die SAB Biertent, wat deur die Rotariërs bestuur word, is daar ook talle stalletjies wat eet- en drinkgoed en allerande snuisterye verkoop. Daar is ook ‘n veilige speelplek waar jong kinders teen ‘n geringe fooi besig gehou sal word. Parkering is op die skoolterrein beskikbaar.
