Hi Ian
We actually had a masters meeting last night. I have been awaiting the council to confirm dates, which has now been finalised. So yes the dates are the 12 – 14 March 2015, some games will commence on the Wed (11th) evening maybe 4/5 games as most of the teams will already be here, last games to finish on the Saturday afternoon.
I will send out a more formal invite this week to all representatives, but if we could post it on the site for now that would be great.
Thanks
Donn

Would be great if you could also spread it in SA to see if someone is keen to come.
Thanks!
Cheers

PS: Just to add that the 250 Euro fee is quite high but you get 150 Euro back in drinks vouchers so is not that bad:)
Death notice in Star – 9 July 2014 — Browne- Anthony Steven.
It looks like our Anthony — he was at the first Quarry tournament and left early saying he was not feeling too well and it turned out to be stomach cancer . If so ,then we have lost another Jeppe Polo player– Bryan would have been the first to advise everyone.He did speak to Bryan some months ago when he and I were arranging the sides for the Durbs tournament and Anthony said he would be available. I will phone Tony C as I do not have his address.
May he rest in peace and say a silent prayer! !!

Congratulations and well done.
Please advise all the Reps of the following :
After various responses received from Provincial Reps , the following is the consensus :
That the issue of entries , age limits etc will remain as is , except for the introduction of a new rule regarding ex National players , and that is that they may play in their own age group or down , but not up
This whole issue of entries and limitations will be added to the Agenda for the next AGM for further debate and decisions
Introduction of a new rule requiring approval:
The issue of ex National players playing below their age groups.
This problem was brought to the attention of the Executive during the 2014 Tournament.
The suggested proposal for consideration is that ex-National players, in any age group, should not be allowed to play in a division above their age.
E.g. Glenwood had three ex Boks in their early 30’s playing in the 35+ group. This is not fair on players at the end of the age group, i.e. 45 year olds.
Thus if you are an ex-National player, then you will ONLY be permitted to play in your age bracket or below BUT never up!
Should ex-National players be limited to playing in their age division?
Yes: 4
No: 3
The 2015/2016 Durban Organising Committee have discussed the possibility of moving Masters one (1) week back (earlier), the weekend before the long weekend.
The reasons why they are suggesting this is the following:
What are your thoughts here?
Is your province in favour of moving the date one week earlier?
Yes: 6
No: 0
