Junior Vice Captains Report Port Shepstone Club 11th June 2017 Whilst in the heart of our tropical “short-sleeve- winter” Port Shepstone Country Club was in sublime condition again. The breathless conditions added to great golf and more silver trays. Many thanks to the friendly Sheppy staff that served us and made it another special event. A friendly nomadic welcome to our new inductee Dillan Drew (now Vince has finally got his own driver). Congratulations and well done to Ian Firth with his 5-year tie, Linda Hall with her 10-year badge and young Dave Chaplin with his 40-year-tie, acknowledgment of your unwavering commitment gents and lady!. Thanks to our day sponsor Halfway Ford Port Shepstone who turned up properly and raised the bar way up!! Thanks for all the wet holes and many lovely prizes! Thanks to our JVC and PRO for setting up the altar so professionally and organizing the prizes. Thanks to Allison and her team for all their efforts to ensure a smooth and efficient prizegiving in under an hour. The AMF committee has been busy and lots of progress was made in the planning and promotion of this year's main Andrew Mentis Fundraising event. The entry forms for the event that takes place on Sunday 24 September 2017 at Port Shepstone Country Club have been printed and distributed at prizegiving. Information of the event and entry forms have been posted on our website and distributed to all other Nomad Clubs. Posters to advertise the event are being distributed to be displayed at all our local golf clubs We are planning an awesome event with lots and lots of prizes, lots of wet holes on the day, complimentary “potjiekos” at halfway and a traditional braai after the game, live music and lots more entertainment. The AMF fundraising committee has already commenced with approaching sponsors for the day and welcome all who want to contribute to what will certainly be an awesome event. We currently have 18 cases of Castle Lite in stock (3 months' supply) after this month's match. We have collected our second quarterly assignment of beer from SAB for 2017. Thank you for your positive attitude and willingness to assist me when called to do so! See you at the Wild Coast next month! Job well done to Ian Stewart our fines master, Jimmy for assisting with the whiskey, glasses and balls, our photographer Norms and our professional slide show presenter Howie (for pulling a rabbit out of a hat, every time). Well done to all Nomads who take pride in our organization and put in the effort to promote our worthy cause. The new vibe is spreading! Regards Roelof Meyer
