The Annual Knobel League

The Annual Knobel League has started with a bang. To date, we’ve had 20 participants already.

As the entries stand, we have an income of N$205. The Julies though, we have an income of N$210. This brings a total of N$415 in so far for the finals day. After the 15th week we’ll be having a “Finals”. This will be an opportunity to have 1 last chance at the Westerdale Knobel Trophy for the year. This day will be a fully catered for social covered by the Knobel fund.

Monika is currently leading the log with 8 points after a controversial substitution. Melissa is a close 2nd at 7 points. With myself in 3rd place with 6 points.

I do believe this social is great for the bar income, so please, if you haven’t already, come and play some Knobel on Tuesdays.

Knobel is a lekker dice game. If you want to know the rules, you can find them on our Namibia Area website: https://www.roundtable.com.na/knobel-rules/

The Border Area AGM was hosted by Aliwal North 55 and held in the ever-beautiful town of Kei Mouth. Great scenery set the stage for an even greater event and visitors from other Areas – Pienaar Allers and Paul Ferreira from EP Area and Antonie Smit from Bosveld Area – can attest to such.

Friday night kicked off in true Border style with a braai, t-shirt party and a generous bar tab. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening and this was made clear by the way some of the attendees’ faces looked the following morning.

Outgoing Border Area Chairman Wessel Dreyer ran an as-Walways strict, smooth and productive meeting on Saturday morning while the Legs were sent across the river with the pont to enjoy a spectacular boat cruise along the Qolora River.

Saturday evening saw everyone exquisitely dressed for the Induction Dinner. WGuest speaker and past Border Area Chairman Toby Nzuza reminded us of the importance of our Association’s Aims and Objectives while past Border Area Chairman Ryan Baisley did a great job being Master of Ceremonies and kept everyone entertained.

Border Area would like to wish the greatest of success to incoming Chairman Jethro Penny and his team.
