Morning All

Hope all have a good break and back in the pool…..

Just a further reminder that we need to get all entry forms in asap, and all monies in by the 31st January. As you can understand

There is a lot of organising and that requires cash flow, also we need to get the draws done asap so we can let teams know as this

Will help your travel arrangements.

For those that are taking up the accommodation option, full payments must be in by the 31st to secure your bookings.

If we could all get on this asap I would appreciate it.

Many thanks

Late Trevor Vaughn

Some bad news. Trevor Vaughn died 28 December 2015 of a massive heart attack after a Surf-Ski race in St Francis.

We will all miss that smile and laugh around the pool.

On behalf of all SA Masters players, we express our deepest sympathies to Trevor’s family.

RIP

Late James Pillan

Just got an SMS from Dudley Prentice advising that James passed away last night (25 September 2015)  at 10pm.
James was a stalwart of Eastern Transvaal / Eastern Gauteng and played many games for them at Provincial level. He was a tough enforcer and many players will recall their encounters with him.
Our thought and prayers are with Ann and her children.

Hi all ,

Sad news  !

James was a regular at Masters with Easterns before a work accident some years ago left him unable to play again – a gentle giant and a gentleman to boot

Ian , please pass on the condolences of all Masters players countrywide , who  knew and played with or against James , to his  family and friends.

Regards , Neville.

And will put it into the calendar this week to make it official.

But currently the dates are as follows:

  • SA Masters Polo: 9th Wed March (opening ceremony etc)  – 12th Sat March (Finals in the afternoon once again)
  • SA Masters Swimming: 16th – 20th March

The ball will start rolling soon in terms of arrangements as per last year. If there is anything you would like me to highlight

Or you feel there are areas we can improve please let me know.

Many thanks

Gregg “Ginger” Anderson

It is with great sadness and regret that I inform you all that Gregg Anderson passed on tragically over the week-end.

Gregg , as you all know , was a fantastic Keeper , emulating his father ( the great Ginger Anderson ) , and was a regular with Jeppe at the Masters Nationals.

Our thoughts are with Gregg’s family through this terrible time.
