1. Duty Roster / Thank You Please check your duty dates on the updated roster (see page 2) and if not available, organize somebody to “stand-in” for you in good time. Any confirmed changes or problems should be reported to Linda Stone, who has kindly agreed to tackle this task; on behalf of the Committee a big THANK YOU to Linda. The Committee would also like to thank all those duty members who have done additional duties, sometimes on very short notice; the absolute champion of the duty circle must surely be Charles Strydom. Ever so patiently, he is available for opening/closing the clubhouse and providing technical assistance and advice to members wishing to cut or grind their stones. THANK YOU Charles, we really appreciate you. 2. Machine Maintenance Ongoing problem, we still need members willing to assist to come forward. The maintenance sessions will be changed back to the second Wednesday evening of the month. Please contact Lex Krabbendam if you are willing and able to assist with this task. Kevin Hean has agreed to do a technical overhaul on all our saws. Quotations will be obtained for each saw after the financial year-end and once the costs have been accepted one saw after the other will be sent to his workshop. 3. Membership Data Base The manual database is up-to-date; however, the website database is still a ”work in progress”. It is vital that you contact us immediately should your postal address, telephone number or email address change to keep our records updated, thus ensuring that you receive all communications due to you. We would like to appeal to the snail-mail members once again to inform us immediately when we can change them from snail-mail to email; not only does that save quite a substantial amount of admin costs (printing expenses, envelopes, postage), for the club, it also ensures that you do receive the club communications much faster and more reliable than with the postage system. Any changes required can be sent either via SMS to 072 923 2180, or via fax to 012 250-2709 or via email to heidinaude@absamail.co.za for rectification. Thank you very much for your co-operation. 4. Annual General Meeting – 06.10.2007 . Please mark this important date in your calendars and join us at the clubhouse on Saturday, 6 th October at 13h00. Important issues such as committee member elections, membership fees, workshop fees, club programme issues etc. for the new financial year are on the agenda. This is a meeting not to be missed; all members are welcome; see you there! 5. 2008 Gemboree The first Gemboree communication has been distributed and the second one with the booking information is well on its way. Please note that the registration date for the Gemboree has changed from previously 1 st October to now 15 th October 2007 to allow everybody (email and snail mail members) an equal chance for the reservation of accommodation. Remember that accommodation in the part of the world is limited and registration will be strictly on a first come first serve basis. If you snooze you will loose (or end up camping). Any enquiries should be directed to our chairman Douw Steyn at 083 260 7416 or our faithful secretary, Di de Villiers at 082 562 8983, both numbers preferably after hours.
