ANNUAL JUST NUISANCE BIRTHDAY WALK, SIMON’S TOWN, 06 APRIL 2024
Each year, as close as possible to the 1st of April, we arrange a commemorative walk through the picturesque main road of historic Simon’s Town to celebrate the life of the legendary Great Dane, Just Nuisance. We invite owners and their canine companions to join a parade led by a marching band and the walk ends on Jubilee Square where prizes are awarded, and birthday cake is cut and handed out.
We ask all those walking with us to register and pay a donation of R50 per pooch plus more if they wish, and we split all the money received directly between the SPCA and TEARS who are the beneficiaries of ALL the proceeds.
Registration opens at 09h00 at Long Beach Simon’s Town and the walk starts at 10h00. There is a watering hole along the way, as well as water at Jubilee Square where the parade ends. We hope to have a pet related market and some entertainment, and we encourage the walkers to visit our local businesses, museums, etc.
This year, as for 2023, we will be led by the Nelson Mandela Artillery Pipes & Drums who give freely of their time and expertise for the occasion. Our Master of Ceremonies will be our local Ward Councillor, Simon Liell-Cock. We usually finish up at around 13h00 after handing out donated prizes for ‘Best Just Nuisance Lookalike’, ‘Best Dressed Owner & Pooch’, etc. Depending on the amount of support we can muster in terms of prize donations.
PLEASE DO JOIN US FOR THIS HAPY, FUN OCCASION. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE!!
