President’s Message March 2022

Dear Fellow 41’ers and Friends,

I trust that everyone is safe and well as we now face another threat to our lives both locally and abroad. The extended load shedding and the Russian invasion of the Ukraine is now adding to our already upside down world.

Do you realize that it has been 2 years already since we experienced the last normal week in this world. 

I would like to extend my thanks to all the 41’ers across South Africa that hosted and met with me over the past 2 months.

I wish to congratulate the Vryburg and PE 41’ers for signing their branch Founding Documents. I was present at both the events and enjoyed immense fellowship.

The 41’ers Golf Challenge was a huge success and my thanks go to Martin Botha and his team for all the fantastic arrangements. I am glad to inform you that the next Golf Challenge will take place in Stellenbosch. The date will follow soon.

Thank you to all the members who have already paid their membership fees. The due date for the payments was the 28^th February 2022 and I urge all the members with outstanding payments to do so urgently.  Our Association depends on the members paying their fees, as we have both international and local commitments to cover.

The YAP Tours should be continuing again this year and I know that the Yappers will enjoy their trips in both Europe and South Africa.

My presidential travels continue again soon, keep your eyes open for gatherings in your areas.

Yours in 41’ers

Nico McNamara

MAY THE HINGES OF FRIENDSHIP NEVER RUST

MAY THE CHAINS OF FELLOWSHIP THAT BIND US TOGETHER REMAIN UNBROKEN
