9 . GOLFORAMA AND AWAY TOURS To date we have not had any Golforama events nor away tours to report on as all tours for the foreseeable future have been cancelled due to the Covid 19 Lockdown but I would still like to thank John Elliot for his enthusiasm and commitment in attending committee meetings .
10 . VICE CAPTAIN / ANDREW MENTIS DEVELOPMEMT FUND ( AMEF ) Johan Bothma ( VC ) has absolutely warmed up to his prize giving roll and is becoming slicker by the month even though we have had stop start issues through this Covid period . Our Andrew Mentis game has been scheduled for the 5 th of November 2021 and so Johan ’ s hands will be full arranging for the day coupled with also being part of the Natal Nationals Committee for March 2022
11 . NATIONAL CO-ORDINATOR FOR SA NOMADS NATIONALS Butch Armitage has so far done an amazing job with the entries / re-entries for SA Nationals at Champagne Sports resort for the postponed Nationals in October 2021 . Thanks Butch and sorry that you have to go through the extra effort but it will be worth it once we are finally enjoying the berg .
12 . SECRETARY Janus Horn provides excellent back up to the Captain and committee in this position . Janus is an incredibly passionate Nomad and continues to add a lot of value to our committee meetings and in various aspects of running the club .
