Caltex Sponsers A Bowls Weekend In Aberdeen

Tienie Appel of Volks Delta Aberdeen, a third generation Aberdonian, rganized the sponsorship of a bowling weekend in Aberdeen on the 15th and 16th November 2008, between Aberdeen, Graaff-Reinet, Murraysburg, Jansenville, addock, Middleburg and Somerset East. The sponsorship of the bowls tournament came from Caltex Eastern Cape Brand Marketers
and Volks Delta of Aberdeen. This was a first time sponsorship by Caltex to Aberdeen, where finance, advertising displays
and banners were provided. Clive Berlyn, a Director of Eastern Cape Brand Marketers, was instrumental in providing sponsorship for this event.
The two day event was a great success enjoyed by all the participants. The bowling was of a high standard, and the Aberdeen greens were at their very best. The
catering and the tea and luncheon venue was as usual most enjoyable.
Prizes to the winning teams were presented by Tienie Appel, who hopes that Caltex and Volks Delta will sponsor this event in 2009. A vote of sincere thanks was
given to Tienie Appel from the Aberdeen Bowling Club, and its guests.

International Author Settles In Aberdeen

Michael Brown, author of the U.S.A. best-seller ‘The Presence Process’ and the recently published ‘Alchemy of the Heart’, has now settled in Aberdeen. Michael was born in Kwa Zulu Natal, grew up near Stellenbosch and spent his early adult years working in the music industry in Johannesburg. He was the editor of ‘Top 40 SA Music Magazine’, ‘Flipside Music Magazine’, Arts Columnist for the ‘Weekly Mail’ and script writer for ‘Toyota Top 20’ music television.
During this period of his life he developed a painful neurological symptom called ‘Horton’s Syndrome’. Michael left South Africa for the U.S.A. in 1993, which also marked his entry into self-healing as he tried to relieve the discomfort of this painful condition. Through this quest, he developed an evolutionary self-healing procedure which is now being used internationally, by individuals in all walks of life, doctors, psychiatrists, addiction groups and social counselors.
This procedure called ‘The Presence Process’ is published by Namaste Publishing Inc. in Canada and is also available in Spanish, Dutch, Croatian, and Russian and is soon to be published in India.
Michael has now chosen to settle in Aberdeen and make this the hub of all his future activities.
