The Magnolia Committee decided to announce a Magnolian of the Month in order to introduce all the movers and shakers to the club, based on any form of service/contribution or achievement.
For the month of May we decided to award this to Piet en Ryk Visser. These two brothers have been social members of the club for quite a number of years. This year they joined us as permanent members.They have been contributing and serving the club throughout. They are always committed and willing to help out with Sunday runs and any other event. They also donate the gloves for the Comrades goodie bag each year.

On Friday 26 May we will be packing the goodie bags at the club house from 17:30. Anyone who is willing to assist or who still wants to contribute can join us at the club house.
The goodie bags can be collected after the Chairman's run and at the Captain's braai on Sunday 28 May as well as on Tuesday 30 May between 17:00 and 18:00.
