My Anyhoo's 🤪... Besides the cold looking concrete walls that remind me of yesteryear 🙈...I have forgotten how UCT reminds me of Mazey Day 🤣🤣. Listen, Parking is always my yardstick, and...it was an absolute shlep. Urgh...the Centre was clean, especially the toilet facilities. Nothing has changed since I went for trials in 1997, however, it's well kept and looked after. So...until next time...😉
