The Cape Town Lipton Cup is going to be the best Lipton ever. And the good news is that The City of Cape Town will once again be hosting the Lipton Cup Prize-Giving Event at The Civic Centre, so it’s time to dust off those jackets – everyone seemed to have enjoyed 'dressing' for the Event, so we’d like to do the same again for this Centennial Celebration. Smart jackets or blazers and ties will be the order of the day. Opening Ceremony – Mixing of the Waters and Blessing of the Fleet The Mixing of the Waters Ceremony, will be held on the Deck at R.C.Y.C. on Saturday 23rd August at 17h00.
