MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES No matters were raised. CAPTAINS ANNUAL REPORT The Captain tabled his report, copies of which had been circulated and which was to be posted to the Gauteng Nomads website. While membership numbers had not improved significantly, the number of prospective members had increased from 6 at the start of the year to 19 at the year-end. A welcome feature was a drop in the average age of recent inductees and prospective members, which bode well for the future of the Club. The Club was financially in excellent shape and the Treasurer and his assistants were complimented on their dedication. Our special ladies Bev du Toit and Roz Lewis-Williams could not be thanked enough for their unstinting support.

The Andrew Mentis Endowment Fund chose Elizier Ministries as this years beneficiary. Elizier provides support to addicted persons and their families during their reintroduction to society. The AMEF Committee was congratulated on their efforts and contribution in making a difference in the lives of those benefitting from the selected charity. The new computerised handicapping system, developed and refined by Bruce Richards, would be fully operational after this years Gold Cup and was to be implemented nationally, accommodating the requirements of every club into one integrated SOP system, replacing the existing 25 year old system. In the course of the year handicap checks had been run on the SAGA website to ensure that all members had entered their scores within the stipulated time. Unfortunately, offences appeared to be increasing and permission was being sought from SAGA to allow clubs to directly input late scores as penalty scores. The Captain reported that Glen Dalton had been forced to resign as Golforama co-ordinator due to business pressures. The Clubs sincere appreciation had been extended to him for his dedicated contribution over many years. He would be available to assist Stewart Vernon who had volunteered his services. Golforama was thanked for supporting the Clubs sponsorship of the Gauteng Junior Interclub event at Modderfontein with a donation of R25 680. After a long period in charge of the Furtherance of Golf portfolio, Paul Leishman also had to resign from this position. His contribution was much appreciated. The portfolio had been expanded from Junior Golf to include Ladies Golf and Disabled golf, as well as supporting the Nomads Gauteng Caddie League, a new event initiated by the CGGU and ourselves. The Clubs total support for these events, with contributions from Golforama and Volvo, was almost R100 000 for the year. The Captain recognised a number of notable achievements, including the opportunity to play with two 500 game badgers, Ken Blake and Alec Saunders. He had also presented fifty year ties to Brian Thorp and Dorian Wharton-Hood. In addition, the following milestones were also recognised Malcolm Fruin Phil van Acker Cyril Ferrar Brian Kelynack Brian Coetzee 40 years 35 years 35 years 30 years 30 years Jimmy Littlewood Trevor Baillie Andrew Mostert Robin Gray - 450 - 300 - 200 - 200

In conclusion the Captain thanked each and every member of the Committee, especially the old stalwarts who had done their term as Captain, but remained involved, contributing and supporting. The immediate Past Captain, Gavin Ditchfield, was thanked for his gentle guidance and the helpful manner in which

he had ensured that not too many mistakes were made. He also thanked all members for a humbling and enjoyable experience in representing them during the past year. PRESENTATION OF ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Treasurer tabled the Independently Reviewed Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2012,copies of which had been circulated. He explained that as a result of changes to the Companies Act, organisations such as Nomads, were no longer required to have accounts audited. Instead, an audit firm had to conduct an Independent Review, which was less costly but as rigorous as an Audit. He then highlighted the key features of a successful financial year which had ended in a net surplus of R22 954 after making provision for the customary Captains donation of R15 000. The Balance Sheet had been strengthened by an additional R22 954 to R119 230. In concluding, the Treasurer paid tribute to the support he had received from Bev du Toit who kept meticulous track of every source of revenue and expense. She was ably assisted by Roz Lewis-Williams. The Annual Financial Statements were then approved on a proposal from Johan van Wyk and seconded by John Brewin.
