From the NMC
The new committee,
with Thys Blom attending his
first meeting as VP, met at the Bellville Golf Club recently. A few tasks
received new owners. Thys will keep an eye on our CANSA efforts and our
clothing supplier. Vince has received the Sages archive from Des de Bruyn, and, as you can
read in his newsletter, has become thoroughly engrossed with the history of
Sages. He will also attempt to bring some order to the documents as they
came from three sources: some documents were passed from president to
president, the secretary had a record of all the meetings, while the
treasurer kept financial records. All these came together about 3 years ago
and the task to organise the boxes of old papers into some order, was
daunting. Being a naturally nosy and energetic man, our president Vince
started reading and has not stopped. He will scan the documents, place them
on a memory stick and bind the originals. Thanks Vince for undertaking this
huge task.
A little teaser
from the historic documents can be seen here. What does Eric
Sturgess, Piet Koornhof and Jimmy Gowans have in common?
We hope to have the
computer program that processes the results of our tournaments ready by the
end of August for use during the minis and the 2011 Nationals.
34th SANLAM SAGES NATIONAL TOURNAMENT
Ons weet almal dat die papierwerk klaar moet wees voordat jy
jou belt vasmaak. Nobby Clarke het baie moeite
gedoen om ons naam hoog te hou in die Tee
to Green en in Tigerbrands
se huistydskrif. Dis die soort publisiteit wat nie gekoop
kan word nie.
Sages Gholf op die platteland
Hoe kry ‘n mens ‘n veld vol as baie van jou lede
meer as 2 uur te motor van die baan is? Die manne van Velddrif (dis hoe hulle
dit spel, maar dit word Vellerif uitgespreek) waar die Bergriviergholfklub
is, is elke paar maande gashere vir die Boland Sages. Na die spel kry elke
man lekker growwe brood (uitgespreek ggowwe bgood) met konfyt, ‘n bak
vissop (die rondeballetjies daarin is snoekoë wat van die snoekkoppe
kom) en gebraaide stukkies snoek. By die prysuitdeling kry elke man ses
blikke sardiens en dan kom die eintlike hoofgereg met die heerlikste stukke
gebraaide snoek. Knap gedaan Gerrit en Gerhard en dankie aan jul borge!
HUMOUR FROM THE NEWSLETTERS
The
Pirate in the Bar
A pirate walked into a bar, and the bartender
said, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while.
What happened? You look terrible."
"What do you mean?" said the pirate,
"I feel fine."
"What about the wooden leg? You didn't
have that before."
"Well," said the pirate, "We
were in a battle, and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine now."
The bartender replied, "Well, OK, but
what about that hook? What happened to your hand?"
The pirate explained, "We were in another
battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut
off. I got fitted with a hook but I'm fine, really."
"What about that eye patch?"
"Oh," said the pirate, "One day
we were at sea, and a flock of birds flew over.
I looked up, and one of them pooped in my
eye."
"You're kidding," said the
bartender. "You couldn't lose an eye just from bird poop."
"It was my first day with the
hook."
Die
Doodsteek
So
kort voor die runderpes in Namakwaland is daar ‘n oom en antie. Hulle het kinders by dosyne. By die geboorte van die laaste een
waarsku die dokter dat die antie se masjinerie nie meer so lekker is nie en
dat sy bes moontlik nie nog ‘n geboorte sal oorleef nie.
Die
oom en antie skrik, want hulle is lief vir mekaar en wil nou nie sommer
moedswillig die antie laat dood nie.
Nou
slaap hulle apart op sulke ysterkateltjies, maar die ongedurigheid broei in
hulle. Een nag lê die oom
wakker en hy hoor die antie se kateltjie kraak en kreun soos sy rondrol. Na ‘n rukkie is dit stil en hy
kyk na haar, net om te sien dat sy hom met groot oë beloer.
“Jy
keek vi my” sê hy.
“Ja”
sê sy “Ek keek vi jou.”
“Nou
maar hoekom keek jy vi my?” vra hy
“Ek
dink” sê sy
“Nou
ma wat dink jy so innie
laatnag?” vra hy.
“Ek
dink jy moet my ma die doodsteek kom sjee.”
