ON THE EDGE

The EDGE Community Newspaper

Sedgefield and its surrounding Garden Route communities are a growing market, with many residents enjoying a good quality of life, enriched by a healthy environment, good amenities and friendly locals. Their main focus is the best for their families and friends.

The EDGE reflects these positive attributes.

We are also aware that there are many in the community who need upliftment and assistance. Part of our task as their newspaper is to be their voice. Highlighting their plight, championing their causes and connecting them with those who may be able to assist is a large part of what we are all about.

Local news content is key to our success. We pride ourselves on the depth, quality and accuracy of our stories.

The EDGE is proud to have its roots in the community it serves, with each edition packed with names and faces of local people.

Many contributors – from societies, schools and organisations – submit content on a regular basis. They feel part of the paper and we are delighted to have them on board.  Our newspaper is rich in content and passionate about celebrating local life – with a touch of quirky humour that goes with it. It is written and put together at our offices in the heart of the community. Our experienced team knows what makes the Garden Route tick because we all live and breathe this wonderful area.

The newspaper focuses on issues, people and places, and we are pleased our readers do not see it as a pick-me-up, five-minute read, but rather something they enjoy at their leisure and return to during the course of the week.

We are not complacent and we strive to improve further.   With the community’s support, we have proven over the last 18 years that there is a need for a local newspaper.  Our aim is to continue to make The EDGE something that the community is proud of.

Distribution 3 500 copies.

MASITHANDANE'S 'ANYTHING THAT FLOATS' MAKES A SPLASHThis year's Anything That Floats, held on Saturday, 28 March on Fish Eagle Green, was once again a day of raucus fun, ingenuity, chaos, incredulity, water, sunburn, laughter, genius, failure, entertainment, idiocy, more water, prizes and a general lack of engineering ability. A huge thank you to all the teams who took part: The two Sedgefield Scout teams - 'Loki' and 'Odin's Hammer', the Roos Family's 'Snow White', Forest Roots 'Green Machine', Sedgefield Lions' one-man entry 'The Otter', and the motley crew on the EDGE's craft - 'SS Mild Fury'. Every one of these teams certainly put 'All hands on deck' to ensure the crowds gathered on the shore to watch/laugh/point fingers/shake their heads in disbelief were not disappointed.This year there was, disapointingly, no absolute failures (yes - even the EDGE's craft stayed afloat) so the wonderful folk from NSRI who kept an eye on proceedings did not have to perform any serious rescues.When the brilliant MC Cornel Delafield began the prize-giving ceremony, the overall winners on the day were the never-say-die crew members of Odin, who snatched victory from the 'Snow White' team after one of the dwarves left his beard floating in the lagoon. This, according to the judges, broke the ATF's all-important 'Leave Nothing Behind' code of ethics, costing the seven little fellows and their team's namesake valuable points and pushing them back to second place.Numerous other prizes were awarded, so the over-achievers, under-performers, suspected mushroom embibers and suspiciously political campaigners in the other teams all went home with the sense that their floating craftmanship had been appreciated.A number of businesses and individuals came to the party to support this community event - huge appreciation to Brian Groom of Fish Eagle Financial Services and Andy Brough & family for the donation of R1000 each for the cash prize given to the overall winners, and to prize donors Pili Pili Sedgefield, Pick n Pay Sedgefield, Kraaibosch Shell, MacButners, Kahunas, Harry's, Stoned Oxygen Pty Ltd.Also thanks to the folk from Sedgefield Animal Matters, who were present and even paid the entry fee, despite not having a craft taking part.Thanks to the four judges (names withheld due to accusations of bribery and corruption currently under investigation), Mike Hofhuis and Brian Groom for capturing the antics with their cameras, Safety Officers Michael and Mike for ensuring we were absolutely safe from any pending disaster, and the amazing Masithandane Team who helped with applications, gathered prizes, manned the food stall and generally organised 'stuff'.See you all next year! ...
