Festival in the Park

Saturday 23 November 2019...This was quite a celebration! The red & yellow Old fashioned

school bus, "The Big Bertha Party Bus" jolted to a halt. The Comedienne flung the door open

and with a broad smile, yelled “Surprise!” The smell of sweet candy-floss burst into the

air…the kids` party was about to start.

The much-anticipated tasting of the Craft Gin tantalized the senses. The first sip of the pink

G&T tasted clean and sweet like summer berries, with a vibrant hint of botanicals…

Mouthwatering aromas of lamb roasting on the spit made your tummy grumble…. The smell

of freshly brewed coffee wafted into the air. Can you think of a better way to end this year’s

Festival than to indulge in some scrumptious treats?

Tips to secure your home while away on Holiday

Inform your neighbours of your holiday plans so that they can keep an eye on your property.

Cancel newspaper subscriptions for the time you will be away or arrange with a neighbour to

pick these up in your driveway when delivered.

Unplug all unnecessary appliances (except those on timers) to protect your home from an

electrical fire or power surge.

Make arrangements for all your pets to be looked after, or take them to a kennel/pet hotel or

engage a pet-sitter.

Safe-keep your valuables: Lock up jewellery and any other valuables or sensitive documents in

a fire-proof safe.

Make sure all windows and doors are shut and locked before you leave. Not only will you keep

possible intruders or mischief-makers out, but also prevent prowling cats and other animals from

entering your home and also deter rain and wind causing damage.

Have good exterior lighting, preferably on a timer.

-------------------------------------------

Pets

We appeal to all residents, please make sure there is a reliable person that is taking care of your pets

while you are away.

Every pet must wear a collar with a tag indicating the name, telephone number, and address of its

owner.

Security is called repeatedly to catch escaped dogs and take them to their homes. Residents will be

contacted if their dog escapes, so that the resident can notify the housekeeper or pet sitter.

Eldopark does not have facilities to house escaped dogs. Stray pets without identification tags will

be impounded and handed to the SPCA.

Happy Pets At Home

No fireworks are allowed to be discharged.

Failure to comply with the above will result in a

fine/penalty, in terms of the Memorandum of

Incorporation.

Refer to MOI 20.4.11 Letting off fireworks = One month

Levy per offence.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Do you have a Fire Extinguisher in your home?

More importantly, do you know where your fire extinguisher is?

With so much combustible material in the average house, fires can rage out of control in a

matter of two to three minutes. Having easily accessible portable fire extinguishers is the best

way to stop the spread of an incipient stage fire. Easy access to a fire extinguisher helps

prevent fires from spreading while protecting your home and your family.

Here are some general rules you should use when placing a fire extinguisher in any room of

your house:

Make sure everyone in your house knows where the extinguishers are.

Keep them visible at all times with the label facing outward.

Check frequently that the extinguishers aren’t blocked and are easily accessible.

Make sure they’re always in working order.

Here are the five essential places to keep a fire extinguisher in your home:

1. The Kitchen

2. Near Sources of Heat

3. Each floor of your home

4. The Garage

5. The Bedrooms

It’s better to be well-prepared than to be running around looking for an extinguisher in case

of a fire.

Best wishes to you and your family during this holiday season.
