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.
Alex Partridge van
Verre-Noord is ‘n paar dae gelede oorlede. Ons treur saam met sy
familie en sy Sages vriende. Hy het ‘n baie groot aandeel gehad in
die uitmuntende bydrae van sy tak tot sy tak se Kansa-gholfdae wat nog elke
jaar die beste opbrengs per lid gelewer het. Ons groet ‘n groot Sage.
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
Happy Hour
Vier WP ondersteuners kom by die
kroeg by Loftus aan en soek ‘n lafenissie. Die kroegman wys hul op
die pryslys waar dit duidelik staan dat alle drankies 50c kos. Die manne
klim toe in en bestel ‘n klompie dubbel brandewyne en Coke. Toe hul
betaal sê die kroegman dit sal R2.00 wees. Hul sluk die dop af en
bestel weer. Toe begin hul die kroegman uitvra hoe op aarde hy die drank so
goedkoop kan verkoop. Hy
verduidelik toe dat hy die lotto ‘n ruk terug gewen het en dis hoe hy
iets aan die samelewing wil terugploeg.
Die WP manne kyk bietjie rond in die
kroeg en sien ‘n paar miserabele manne eenkant in die kroeg sit. Hul
vra die kroegman waarom die manne dan niks drink nie. “Dis ‘n
klomp Blou Bul ondersteuners. Hul wag vir die happy hour wat oor ‘n
uur begin om die drankies dan teen halfprys te koop.”
