Van President Vince Davies
Lees sy jongste nuusbrief HIER.
Weereens baie dankie aan al die takke
vir nog ‘n goeie jaar se opbrengste vir Kansa. En dink
asseblief aan Alex
Partridge van Verre-Noord wat baie
siek is. Hy het ‘n baie groot aandeel gehad in die uitmuntende bydrae van sy tak wat nog
elke jaar die beste opbrengs per lid gelewer het.
2012 NATIONAL TOURNAMENT: All the forms and documents you need.
Things are now moving into top gear. Your
entries are imminent (15 FEB deadline!).
Here is all the information you need: Click
on the file names to download the 4 files entry forms , maps,
summary entry form and invitation. The Waterberg
organisers are concerned about the large number of Sages members who seem
to be ignorant of the details of the National tournament. All the
information has been sent to your branch committee a long time ago. And it
has been available on this website for a while. Please liaise with your
committee in the first instance. Also note all cart bookings are done via
your entry form. The golf clubs
concerned are not taking cart bookings from individuals as all the carts
have been allocated to our organising committee who will allocate carts
from the entries.
There has also
been some confusion with bookings
at Klein Kariba as the person
allocated to do our bookings there is no longer available. Waterberg has
sent out a letter to branches to give details of the revised contact. Read
that letter HERE.
And a final bit hot off the press. Our
insupressible president Vince has once again managed to find sponsors to
the tune of R20 000 for the prizes.
Here are the dates
for the national and mini tournaments in 2012.

FROM THE NMC
Branches are reminded of the
following 4 things that are necessary to oil our administrative cogs:
1. Complete the Branch Contacts
form for your 2012 committee and send it to the national
secretary. This information is required as soon as you’ve had your AGM in order to
complete the Sages Address Book.
2. Your topup levies for new members that joined in 2011 were
due in November (complete the Remittance Advice for 2011 and submit
it to the Treasurer) and your 2012 levies are payable by end February.
Complete the Remittance Advice for 2012. If you
are in arrears you cannot vote at the AGM..
3. Your fixtures for
2012 must by now be ready. Send the final fixtures to the
national secretary, preferably by completing the form on the hyperlink. It
often requires a lot of work to reformat your details for publication. You
are holding up the publication on this website of the 2012 fixtures list for all the
branches
4. Think about your
nominations for vice-president and national secretary. The national secretary
will shortly be soliciting your motions for the AGM.
Nominations For A New VP And A New
Secretary
The national secretary
has sent out a letter requesting branches to nominate suitable candidates
for the 2 positions. Vince is stepping down (as required) after 2 years in
the chair and Peet Roets has indicated that he is not available for
re-election as national secretary. The NMC has decided, after
consulting with the national treasurer, that the
workload indicates that the positions of national secretary and national
treasurer should be separated. Therefore a new
national secretary should be elected at the next AGM.
Both these positions are very
important for SAGES and we request branches to submit nominations for these
positions to the national secretary 40 days before the next AGM. As the Cape has been
over-represented in recent years, nominations from the other areas would be
much appreciated. Quite often the best leaders do not seek nomination, but
are willing to serve. It is your duty to identify and nominate them.
What skills are
needed and what are the responsibilities attached to these positions? Read the job
descriptions. Then identify the
person, write a suitable recommendation, attach a relevant CV and get your
branch to submit a nomination in time for the AGM. Early in 2012 the
national secretary will send out notices of the AGM in which
nominations will be requested.
HUMOR UIT DIE TAKKE
Second Opinion!
The doctor said, 'Joe,
the good news is I can cure your headaches. The bad news is that it
will require castration.
You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on
your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve
the pressure is to remove the testicles.'
Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He had no choice but to go under the knife. When
he left the hospital, he was without a headache for the first time in 20
years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he
walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person.
He could make a new beginning and live a new life.
He saw a men's clothing store and thought, 'That's what I need... A new
suit...'
He entered the shop and told the salesman, 'I'd like a new suit..'
The elderly tailor eye d
him briefly and said, 'Let's see... Size 44 long.'
Joe laughed, 'That's right, how did you know?'
'Been in the business 60 years!' the tailor said.
Joe tried on the suit it fit perfectly.
As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, 'How about a new
shirt?'
Joe thought for a moment and then said, 'Sure.'
The salesman eyed Joe and
said, 'Let's see, 34 sleeves and 16-1/2 neck.'
Joe was surprised, 'That's right, how did you know?'
'Been in the business 60 years.'
Joe tried on the shirt and it fit perfectly.
Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, 'How about
some new underwear?'
Joe thought for a moment and said, 'Sure.'
The salesman said, 'Let's
see... Size 36.
Joe laughed, 'Ah ha! I got you! I've worn a
size 34 since I was 18 years old.'
The salesman shook his
head, 'You can't wear a size 34. A size 34 would press your testicles up
against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache.'
(Once
again I apologise to sensitive viewers for this lack of political
correctness)
