Captain’s Report It was a pleasure to host our National chairman, Richard Plumb, at our Ebotse game. Obviously he enjoyed the prizes on offer as he walked away with most of them. We had 4 prospective members and 4 visitors in the field (please don’t forget the reduced rate of R150 that we offer 1st time visitors). It was my pleasure to award Reg Rawlings his 100 game badge and Joe Gumede (10 years), Anthony Scribante (15 years), Johan Beytell (20 years) their long service ties. It was great to have Jimmy Sales play his first game since his health scare and Polla de Jongh fit enough to at least marshall. We look forward to having him fully fit and able to participate. The highlight of my year as Captain thus far occurred at the Ebotse game, where it was my privilege and honour on behalf of Easterns Nomads to induct Philip Michaux as an Honorary member for his contribution to Nomads nationwide. Thank you for all you do for us and congratulations on this prestigious award. 11 Easterns Nomads travelled to Botswana Nationals and I am proud to announce that Easterns, for a second year in a row has the Champion of Champions amongst their members. Entries for the mystery tour are out and there are limited numbers so please ensure that your payment accompanies your entry and that it is properly referenced. Mike
