New committee elected at Wanderers
Let’s all spare a thought for Margaret Kitchenbrand and Rosanne Hayward, both of whom are in hospital beds struggling for their lives.
AT the annual general meeting of the main club at Durban Wanderers last Monday, longstanding chairman Eric Redman stood down after serving a total of nine years on the committee, the last five of these as chairman.
In his place, Mitty Chelin who had been serving as vice chairman, was elected to fulfil this role.
His vice chairman is Ian Demmer who was in a vote off with Mike Flack. There were six general committee members voted in, these being Jeff Cronje, Lorraine Du Preez, Mike Flack, Peter Fox, Justin Reid and Gwen Tait. Rob Philogene was elected president with Ray Haynes as his vice. Ian Crowsen remained as auditor.
The first round of the mixed nominated pairs played last Saturday yielded the following results: Lofty Cawthorne and Jo-Anne Jordaan beat Chris Pozyn and Lorraine Smith; Derek Stevens and Gwen Tait beat Chris Klopper and Debbie Nortje; Robin Grobler and Lorraine Du Preez beat Eric and Anne Smit, Jimmy Neill and Chantal Hearnshaw got a walkover from Joan Bruce and Bob Hayward (Joan on leave); Ron and Gerrie Jackson got a walkover from Bill and Cynthia Addinall (not present), Steve Van Rooyen and Barbara Neill got a walkover from Arnie Harper and Mary Rust (withdrew), and Russell Shepherd and Stix De Wet got a walkover from Kim and Lorinne Hawkins (attended a wedding).
In Sunday’s breakfast trips, 28 teams participated. Sportsman’s prize on 0-27 went to the family team of Nicola and Keegan Bauristhene and Debbie Nortje. First session on 2+11 went to Dave and Noreen Gardner and Lionel de la Rey, second session went the way of Arnie Harper, Jimmy Neill and Claude Newman on 2+ 17, while second place overall went to Mervyn Mitchley, Anne Smit and Trish Overington with a 4+17 and the overall winners on the day with 4+18 were Clive Symons, Mike and Jackie Freeman. In the board draws, Lorraine Du Preez and Richard Hendicott each won a meat pack, and Richard Hendicott and Eric and Anne Smit each won R50.
Upcoming events: The Moths nationals started on Monday and all teams are wished good bowling. Next Wednesday is the roadrunner’s pairs and on Sunday is the Acutts fours skins. Call Ron Jackson on 076-034-1055 and Bob Hayward on 076-403-2265 respectively to enter or confirm teams.
In the men’s midweek league, the second semi final was played on Wednesday by two Durban sides. The team of Ruaan and Kobus Victor with Dave Larkin and Dave White emerged victorious over the Jimmy Mills side, and they will now face Steve Van Rooyen, Richard Hendicott, Graham Funnell and Eric Redman on 27 May. Diarise this date to lend support at Hillary Club.
Last Friday, the R1,500 snowball was eventually won when Lyn Mitchley was present to collect. The various meat hamper winners were: Lamb pack Chris Fourie; rolled beef and rump steak Glynnis Reinecke; pork roast Mitch Mitchley; chicken pack Sherry Badenhorst; chicken Lara Kruger.
Let’s all spare a thought for Margaret Kitchenbrand and Rosanne Hayward, both of whom are in hospital beds struggling for their lives. Margaret has had five doses of chemotherapy and four units of blood since last Monday in her battle with leukaemia and Rosanne is struggling to recover from a bad fall in which she broke her left hip bone and has now contracted full-on dementia over and above her heart-, osteoporosis-, hypertension and frailty conditions. Although both of them are fighters, those who are able to pray, are asked to please do so.
