Kom breek rekords

Hierdie jaar het Mnre Noordwes Junior en Senior besluit om betrokke te raak by die gemeenskap. Hulle poog om dié grootste rekordbreek-poging aantepak wat ons Provinsie  (dalk Suid-Afrika) nog ooit gesien het en nooi alle ouderdomsgroepe uit om deel te kom neem.

Hulle poog om 10 rekords binne 36 uur (8 is wreldrekords) in die City Mall te breek. Die program begin al vroegdag om 06:00 Vrydag-oggend met ‘n 36 uur marathon radio-uitsending. Die publik word benodig om twee van die rekords te kom help breek.

Die eerste rekord is ‘n (1) vingerverf poging. Die huidige wreld-rekord staan op 170 meter x 40 cm breed. Dit is ongeveer 5500 A3’s wat aanmekaar geplak is.

Die hele papier moet toegeverf (geen wit mag uitsteek nie) deur slegs van vingers gebruik te maak.  Al die papiere  sal op Saterdag 4 September om 15:00 by die sentrum aanmekaar geplak word om te sien of die rekord gebreek kan word. Hulle benodig 171 meter om die nuwe rekordhouers vir vingerverf wees. Alle vingerverf pogings moet 1 uur voor die poging by die City Mall afgelewer wees.

Die tweede rekord is die Tazo pak rekord. Dit is ‘n nuwe wreldrekord poging. Die idee is om soveel as moontlik Tazo’s langs mekaar te pak in die sentrum.

Al wat die Publiek moet doen is om ‘n Tazo of meer na die sentrum te bring om 15:00 op Saterdag 4 September.

Daar sal ‘n roete aangedui word waar die Tazo’s gepak kan word. Al die Tazo’s sal na die tyd opgeveil word en die geld sal aan welsynsorganisasies geskenk word.

Die volgende rekords word aangedurf en die publiek word versoek om hulle te kontak om in te skryf.  Wie weet miskien is jy die volgende rekordhouer!
