The Great Winter Migration: Xai-Xai June 2011

May 27, 2011 by Capoeirasa    No Comments    Posted under: Newsroom, Pretoria

As many of you already know, Contramestre Salles is putting together a trip to Mozambique from the 15th – 19th of June.

The goal for this trip is to exchange Capoeira movements and experience with the different schools from Mozambique whilst getting a feel for the culture and vibe in the country, and of course, making new friends!

The cost for this trip is  R1,400 including the bus fare from Pretoria or Johannesburg. You will need to pay directly into Salles’ account and he’ll buy the tickets to ensure we all arrive at the same time and there’s no mess-ups. (Cost is R790 p/p if you find their own way to Moz but we’d prefer if everyone stuck together so it goes smoothly.).  You will need to send Salles your name and ID number when you book so that he can purchase the bus tickets for you. Please SMS him on 076 524 5210.

• Deadline for booking: 4 June 2011
• Pay to: Salles Guambe
• First National Bank
• 620 981 75237
• Use your name as reference.

Accommodation: 3 Bedroom House near (or on, not sure) Xai-Xai beach.

Spending money: Bring enough for drinks and anything you want to buy locally. We might have a shopping trip in Maputo, so bring a little extra for that.
