We were fortunate at this function to have a group of Future Parents and Nippers:

Therese & Louise Mitchley provided us with an incredible spread for our supper. The youngsters had as many hamburgers as they could possibly enjoy in one evening plus a group of them took padkos home with them. And there was a Malva pudding with Ice Cream again with seconds for everyone. Thank you Therese.
The tables were decorated. Parafin Lamps added to the atmosphere. There were plants and indigenous decorations throughout the venue. Bales of straw were laid out to substitute for the black plastic chairs. These were covered with blankets and throws. The main table was covered with trophies and awards. Donald had created a certificate for all participating 2010 Nippers.
Shareen had a Medal made for each member of the team of U10 Nippers who had been placed NOWHERE at previous carnivals but who were placed 2nd overall at Nationals to Pirates by just 22points.
The team of people who had put the whole Wild West Party together included:
Liesl De Lange; Team leader
Caryn Hepburn
Jacqui Zeelie
Julee Dalgliesh
Riana Du Toit
Shareen vd Watt
Donald Mc Gillivray who produced and printed the Award Certificates.
Some Comments:
The whole atmosphere is so much better with the bales of hay and all of the decorations.
Does not look like our boring clubhouse this evening.
The people who put the evening on have “raised the bar”
Looks Stunning
Do you think that I can have a second helping of seconds?
The pudding is great. This is my third helping.
Well done to those who put this evening together. Well worth the R75pp.
I love the BULL.
This was one of the best ever Prize Giving evenings.
DATES TO DIARISE
After some discussion, at the WW Party, we decided to have the first Nippers Training session on Sunday 3rd October 2010. 11.00am to 13.00.
This will be for all Nippers and visitors are welcome as well.
Nippers must come in a bathing costume: Speedo type. You are not permitted to compete in Baggies or with shorts. If it is cold and you have a wet suite that is fine.
All Summerstrand Nippers must have a scull cap.
If you don't have a cap or if you have lost your cap the price is R30 each.
We then plan to have an OPEN day for Summerstrand Nippers on Sunday 10th October 2010. Quite significant as we will write the day: 10/10/10. It will be 100 years before you can do this again.
