FISTBALL

The 4th league round took place last week and our first team experienced mix fortune, losing both their matches. The team remains second in their league and the play-offs are scheduled for the 18 September on the Ramblers field.


“NO SMOKING” RULE IN THE BAR

The “Anti Smoking” bill has been tabled and is not a law yet, but the Executive Committee decided on their monthly meeting last Monday to declare the bar/ club-house with immediate effect as a “No Smoking” area. This is surely in the interest of the majority of our members and we are counting on the co-operation of our few smokers, who now need to smoke outside.

ADMINISTRATOR

We have employed Cynthea Balzar as “Administrator” and she will hopefully take of the burden of the shoulders of the Executive Committee. Cynthea will be in charge of amongst others the administration duties and most importantly of all Lapa and Field bookings. She can be contacted via e-mail at info@ramblers.com.na or on her cell (081-2742538).
