Tell 1 tell all.

Meet by parking lot opposite Shell garage on the same side as putt putt.

We all start together, run at your own pace for 20 minutes, then turn around and finish with everyone.

The aim is to grow these social runs week by week so that we can turn it into a bit of a vibe and end off the day with a bit of exercise and quiet bevy. We had 5 people there previously, lets up the numbers and enjoy the last bit of summer booty.

Ok let’s get rid of the bad news 1^st- The 1^st team avoided relegation and the 2^nd team came 2^nd last but luckily we can’t drop down a league. Our 1^st season started off very well but the wheels came off after  the new year. We think that next year we can only improve as a club , we did have a lot of inexperienced players who will come on in leaps and bounds in their 2^nd year. Remember that we probably have one of the youngest clubs in the Western Province and the spirit is definitely high.

Now onto better things- the club started its competitions from Saturday and some very interesting games took place. We are now into the last 4 off the novices -Gareth Rosslee will play Jason Janse van Rensburg in the one semi and Rob van Hille will play Mwize[our barman for those of you who have never been to the club] in the other semi final. By the way Mwize had a great tussle with Jules Horak in the quarter-final.

Mwize had a great weekend because he also won against Jill van Rensburg and Henk Beekman and is still in the running for all 3 competitions.

This weekend on Saturday from 12 to 2.30pm  and on Sunday from 9am we are trying to get people to play their games, especially in the main competition. We need the following games to take place-

Errol Concur vs. Dean Jackson. Scotty vs. Gareth, Hans Greyling vs. Warren Hewitt, Brad vs Terry Leahy, Piers vs Anton v v, John Rosslee vs Clive Garcin, Dave Milne vs Bronco, Colin Peters vs Maurice Moyles and Erik v v vs John Commins. You can play during the week as well and if you think you can’t make the games then rather withdraw from the tournament. Please try and find markers as well. [Jill was tired of marking 6 games on Sunday]. Please make contact with your opponents as soon as possible. You can wear mufti when you play.

The weekly club draw was won again last week and Tom Van Vlaanderens number came out the bag to win R200. The attendance draw was won by Val Leahy with Paul Rist getting 2^nd prize. This week the main draw will start with R200 in the kitty. We will also be making chips so come down and spend an hour at the club.

For the next 3 weeks starting  on Thursday evening Newbie Bowls are running a pairs competition on the one green as they have the other green full of Newbies. We are still looking for a few teams so if anybody is interested please contact Tom urgently at the club on  0216891617 or 0825562639. The competition has been kindly sponsored by ZANUSSI and there will also be cash prizes. The entry fee is R240 per team for the 3 weeks-you will also receive a boerie roll each week. [you can also pay R80 a week]. The competition will be 2-4-2 and you play 2 games over 8 ends. You can enter a mixed /men’s or ladies side.

There is  a possibility of a change of venue, as Loerie Park will not be ready due to the fact that Knysna will be hosting Denmark and France. A venue has been identified, but final information will be forwarded at a later stage once this has been confirmed.

All indications are that it will be a sold out event again and numbers will be limited in order to make your experience as memorable as possible. Do not delay and enter as soon as you can!

If your going to be running, please leave a comment so that we can try all hook up for a beer.

With World Cup Final on the 11 July, the gees is sure to be amazing….

After a toughly fought out battle against the Galetti Fourths, Shebeen took the honors and managed to chase down 228 with 2 wickets in hand after being 108/5 at one stage. The match was played in great spirit with the likes of Kyle ‘WP’ attaining Shebeen’s only 50 in the match and Gary ‘There it goes’ Fouche getting 4 wickets due to some fantastic catching in the outfield by Chris ‘Fast Arm’ Vella if I say so myself.

1 nil up in the 2010 series we look forward to the return leg at the end of the year. Check out some pics on FlickR on the right.
