CAPTAIN’S NEWSLETTER
WINGATE GAME 18TH MARCH 2018

Dear Fellow Nomads,

Thank you to you all for your continued support at our monthly games. We had a total of 131 players, 2 prospective, 8 guests and unfortunately 1 no show. We thank you all for playing and attending prize giving which shows your support and respect for our sponsors. Wingate was in great condition.

Monthly Sponsor
This month we had a new sponsor which was The Standard Newspaper part of Alpha Media Holdings, thank you to Kenias Mafukidze and their Chief Marketing Officer Miss Tandie Ngwenya for the generous sponsorship, particularly so given the prevailing economic challenges in Zimbabwe and I hope you all enjoyed your free copy of The Standard as well as signing up to receive a copy delivered to your doorstep every Sunday. Gentlemen if you or your company would like to sponsor a monthly game please speak to Enock Moyo.

We would also like to thank our Platinum sponsors ZOL, Glenbrynth and Golden Pilsner please kindly support them as they support us.

Wingate Golf Club
Thank you to the Captain of Wingate, Nick Tambling, his Vice Captain Shane Zangel and to the manager of Wingate Golf Club Di Finn and all her staff for all all their hard work to make the course playable I am sure you will all agree with me that the course was in fantastic condition. Thank you must also go to the kitchen and bar staff for the food and making sure the Pilseners were cold and that there was enough ice for the Glenbrynth.

Thank You’s.
The check in table was as usual ably manned by our Nomads Ladies Alison, Lyn, Judy and Alana. Thank you ladies for coming out to Wingate and getting us through the table and making sure that all scores are captured correctly and that the prizes sheet is finished on time.

Once again a big thank you for your time and patience, we are very grateful for what you do for Nomads.
We were also honoured to be joined by the following ladies Pearl Muller, Shirley and Natasha Jonker. Thank you ladies for kindly gracing our day with your presence.

Many thanks for our starters on the day Honorary Life Member Greg Pozzo, Rod Bennett and Mike finnigan gentlemen thank you for giving up your Sunday to be with us and we appreciate your contribution to Nomads.

Fines Session
Many thanks to Patrick Cornish for a good fines session and taking some of those elusive bond notes out of the guys pockets. Gentlemen we are always looking for a new face to do a fines session at one of our games, so please if you feel you can get money from our fellow Nomads which isn’t a difficult job then please speak to Shane Zangel.

- ZIMBABWE “IBIS” NATIONALS 28THAPRIL – 1ST MAY- Preparations for the 37th Nationals dubbed “The Ibis Nationals” which are to be held at Borrowdale Brooke are well under way. Entries for the Nationals has now closed, please if any one has submitted their entry form but has not made payment kindly make payment ASAP and send the proof of payment to Clever Chikwari and Nyasha Chinhara. We have received 95 entries from Mashonaland and close to 200 entries overall. This is fantastic news and Francis and his team are looking forward to hosting us all.

-Vince Lemming- I am sad to announce that this was the last game for Vince Lemming before he leaves to go to America, Vince on behalf of all Nomads we wish you all the best for the future.

-Dress Code- Gentelmen should you not have the appropriate kit to wear please make sure you place an order with the equipment officer Ottis Masinare who will assist you where possible dress code is very important to Nomads and we should all be proud to wear it. The same goes for prize giving should you forget to bring your numbers one’s to a monthly game please do not attend prize giving in your playing kit rather pay early leavers and go home, attending prize giving in your playing kit does not set an example for the newer Nomads.

Nomads Creed
No Man is an Island entire of itself
Every man is a piece of the continent; a part of the main.
Any man’s death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind
And, therefore, never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee
