It's the end of an era, the SPortsmans Bar has closed, the previous tenant could no longer afford the N$7000.00 dollar rent per month......

It is now available for any other person to rent....

Eina !  ......  that's for the high rent, but also for the fact that it all ends up like that.....
Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier. Friendship is a sheltering tree.

To be clever enough to get a great deal of money, one must be stupid enough to want it.

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of other cannot keep it from themselves.

That's sad... I have great memories of our Appie darts evenings in Sportsmans...

....when the 'local pub' club closes down then I think the s..t has hit the fan......

Most of the European folk stopped going to the SPorties years ago, and frequented the Snooker and Darts CLub and DOn Estebans......

All things electrical contain smoke. Making it come out is easy; getting it back in? ... yeah right!!!

The new owners of the SPORTSMANS gave the place a nice paintjob...... now all the other buildings on the block look neglected.....
