April Outing
The Event:
 Visit to to Gilroy's Brewery
When:
 Friday the 30th of April, at 17:30.
Where:
 19 Nickel Street, Technicon, Roodepoort, 1724, which is not too far from Westgate.
Cost:
 R50.00 per person
Includes:
 A fascinating tour of the brewery with a full explanation of the centuries-old brewing methods used. This is followed by an informal talk in their tasting facility (bar) about beer and topics in general, while consuming approximately 1.5 litres of superb Gilroy Real Ales and Lager. Light snacks such as crisps and/or sandwiches are served. I can vouch for the high quality of Gilroy's brew.
How to get there:
 The most likely approach for most is via Ontdekkers. This is a main road from Joburg. You can get to it from...
 Witkoppen road through Honeydew and Allen's Nek: follow Christiaan de Wet (R564) to the top & turn right.
 Cresta: Go west following it until it goes under the freeway and up William Nichol North, turn Right at the top
 The N1 from the 14th St offramp (Recommended): Turn Right if you were heading South, and follow the Cresta directions
 The N1 from Gordon Rd offramp: Turn Right if you were going South, and then Right at the top of the hill into Ontdekkers
 Northcliff corner: go west starting with 5th St, follow it all the way to the end & turn Right into Ontdekkers
So...
 Get onto ONTDEKKERS Rd in Roodepoort, heading West towards Krugersdorp.
 Pass MOUTON St
 1st Left into SWART Ave (there is a slipway; it's a T to the left)
 At the T-junction at the end of the park at the bottom of the hill, Left into SONOP
 1st Right at the robots into ADDERLEY
 At the T-junction at the end, Right at the robots into Main Reef (R24)
 At the next robots in the dip, Left & immediately Right into FINSBURY, which skirts another park
 Finsbury kinks to the right and becomes Nickel
 Gilroys is on your Right
Lost?
 If you miss Swart, take SONOP at the robots by the Horison View shopping centre and follow it all the way to the second set of robots at the bottom of the hill, then turn Right into ADDERLEY
 If you miss the interchange to Finsbury, take the next turn left... it joins into NICKEL. If you miss that, just double back - take a Left into PROGRESS Rd, at the robots and then the 2nd road Left (the map calls it Bolt, but it's Nickel)
Still in trouble?
