The "Secret" Garden - Fourways

I am so envious that we are not going to be in SA on Sunday the 3rd of December to meet up with all the old Premier folk. I am sure whoever is going it is going to be an absolute gas, it would be interesting to hear your tales next week, so email me and I can put them up on the blog or leave a message.

Here is a link to more information about the place: http://www.restaurants.co.za/details.asp?resId=3048, it gives directions, menus and all other kinds of details. There is also another web site : http://www.dining-out.co.za/member_details-MemberID-2298.html

The address is:

If You are attending on Sunday, please, please, please take some photos and send them to me for the blog!

Anyway Guys - have a drink for all your missing collegues and send us a text message, we will be thinking of you all.

A reunion with the "Balnaves"

Hi everyone

I mentioned in my last e-mail about us visiting SA on the way to Aus, and about trying to plan a meeting day. We have made a lunch booking at The Secret Garden in Norscot Manor, Fourways. I picked up the directions etc by searching for The Secret Garden in Fourways. It also gives you menus and prices (Unfortunately we cannot offer to pay for everyone but I think the prices seem reasonable). It has an outside childrens play area and big lawns. Also bring a picnic blanket because if the weather is okay, you can eat out on the grass (their food I guess, but they have cakes and snacks etc), and we can move out onto the grass after the meal

We are booking for Sunday 3rd at 12 noon for Sunday roast dinner. If you will be there for lunchtime they suggest you book. I have told the Secret Garden that if you are joining us, you will phone them and book yourselves, but ask that you be at the Balnave table (I have asked for either a big table depending on how many of you phone to add on to our booking or else tables that are next to each other and we can move around).

If you are not eating a big lunch with us, then please pop in in the afternoon (they close at 5pm so make it lots earlier) for snacks and drinks (see menu). You may want to book a table anyway for the later time, in case the weather is bad and we have to be indoors.I am sorry we are not going to have much time in SA but would love to see you. Please mention this to anyone you know who knows us, as not everyone is on e-mail.

The Secret Garden phone number is: 467 1191

Look forward to hopefully seeing lots of u.
Luv Jean, Kenny, Skye and Amy

Photos

Does anyone have any photos from the old Premier Milling days? It would be so cool to put them up here for everyone to see. Send them to me if you do at the gmail address!

How did our mothers let us go out like that?

Do you remember those BIG specs? I told Gwen I wouldn't put this picture up on the blog but I couldn't resist. This was taken in June 1992 or 1993 when I was working at Premier.

By the way I haven't smoked for 15 months tomorrow and Derrick is going on 5 - pretty good!

Hi Kenny,

Thanks for the message in the visitors book, how about sending us some updated photographs for the blog, if not now then when you get back from your round the world trip to Australia, South Africa and the States. Who knows you may even get to see some of the ex-premiers.

Back in town ...

Hey everyone, I'm back waiting patiently for all you emails and interesting news to put up on the blog page, so email me !
