Last Date for Orders

ZAUK would like to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and new year!
Today it really felt like the start of Christmas with the first of the winter snow falling. As a South African, snow has not been something I've experienced much of and after 5 years of living in the UK it is still exciting!
Now if you are a registered member of the ZAUK website, you would have received our newsletter today - if not, check it out here.
If you would like some yummy SA goodies on your table this Christmas, make sure your order is placed before midday on the 22nd December to ensure you get it on time!
Enjoy this special time and speak to you in the new year.

Christmas Catch Up


Wow, a whole month (well almost) has passed since we last blogged - where does the time go?!


Well we are really pleased to announce the winner of our November competition and therefore the £50 ZAUK voucher, Derek Cross from the Scottish Borders. Derek was thrilled when our CEO (Chief Expat Officer) called him to notify him of his win. Apparently Derek stated that he never wins anything....so we are really pleased we could make his day!! Congratulations.

Our December competition is along the same lines of last month's competition however the prize is a hamper with a bottle of JC le Roux, Ouma Rusks, Romany Creams, 100g biltong, 100g droewors, large Simba chips, Mrs Balls Chutney, 2 x Peppermint Crisps and 3 x Damascus Nougats! (Drool....) Make sure you read our 'steps' for a chance to win this lovely prize on our competition page.

So with the details of our competitions out of the way, let's talk Christmas......what are your plans? Are you off to South Africa or do you have family coming over to see you? This will be our 6th Christmas in the UK and only once have we had a family member with us. As many of you will know, your friends become your family here and therefore Christmas meals end up with good friends around the table instead of the traditional family Christmas lunch/dinner. This year however we are off to visit family in America and we cannot wait! I don't know how we are going to do it, but we are planning on taking a few bottles of JC le Roux and some Christmas Crackers with us to ensure we add a bit of SA to this special time of year.

So here is wishing you all a wonderful, 'South Africanised' Christmas. Keep ZAUKing and don't forget to come and visit our community at the website - http://www.zauk.co.uk/
