We received reports from several residents, who are still being charged monthly estimated usage for their city of
Johannesburg electricity, that the estimated charge for the past month has escalated substantially compared to previous

If you are in the unfortunate position of being charged estimated electricity usage please check your current statement
to ensure that the usage you are being charged is reasonable.
We are attending to the rectification of the meters reflecting on the monthly City of Johannesburg statements for a

DAINFERN DAINFERN FOOTBALL
The rules of soccer are very simple, basically it is this: if it moves, kick it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does.
Phil Woosnam - Welsh soccer player and manager.
Our administration office at the Pavilion has finally been completed and we have moved in. This makes for much
better conditions in which to take care of our member’s enquiries and problems. We would like to thank Tony from
Maintenance Dept. for the hard work on the office, fence around the field, goal post repairs etc. A big thank you too to
Vivian for arranging telephone and data lines for the new office.
Not much is happening at the Dainfern Football Club due to the private school holidays. We have approximately 60%
of our members on holiday at the moment and as a result have had to postpone two under 12 and two under 14 SAFA
games. This situation will continue until the end of April when the schools open. Training too has been poorly
attended because of the holidays.
The SAFA Little League fixtures kick off on 5th and 6th May with our under 9, 10 and 11 teams participating. Our
under 12 and under 16 squads will eventually, after two postponements, kick off on Sunday 6th May. The excitement is
building.
We intend having regular club get-togethers on Friday afternoons during practice time, where the club parents can
meet each other and the club committee and coaches. We intend to hold the get-togethers in the form of a braai,
concentrating on selected age groups at a time. but obviously any club member or club parent is welcome to attend any
- or all - of the functions. We are arranging suitable braai packs to be available from the tuck shop, and request club
parents to contact us with suggestions as to how best organise this. We will communicate detailed information as from
early May.
Our senior team were unlucky to go down 5 -3 in a high scoring thriller against Bossolona Football Club, and, but for a
number of close misses by both teams and some brilliant saves from Michael Semosa, our goalkeeper, the score could
have been much higher. This is a young squad and can be proud of its performance.

Our seniors are at home to Durban United Football Club this Saturday, 28th April. Kick off is at 3.30pm. The support of
all members and residents would be appreciated

we really need it!
