Pledges are also most welcome - but remember, if not 'paid up' by the time the draw is made, then 'no draw!'
A special appeal is made to all our affiliated associations to please circulate this notification to their members and also to remind them that if they are able to attend the Unveiling at the Shamwari Club on 3 October 2008 that they are very welcome and their company would be appreciated. However, please advise Prop if you are attending so that the club can be notified of numbers attending (for catering purposes).
Note by Eddy Norris
I would like to mention that it would be greatly appreciated if overseas associations could offer suggestions as to how overseas folk could participate. I do believe that I saw Terry Bennett hand up to take charge of the UK folk. Thanks Terry?
Could the AFA Branches, BSAP, Army and School Associations please also pass on this notification to their members.
