Just a short report on the activities so far..
Apologies for the long wait between articles folks, but the silent PRO is back with a few activities to comment on.
Starting with our Golf Day, a small field of golfers, some including 1st time golfers came out in support. Wonderful weather and great fellowship ended up making it a successful day.

A little socializing while waiting for the last golfers to finish.
Our intention is to grow this event significantly over the next few years, and possibly moving it to an earlier date in the year, but time will tell, and be sure we will remind everyone. ;-)
Thanks to everyone involved in the time and effort in making the Golf Day work.
Winters Knights
Winters Knights is a national Round Table project where Round Table members collect clothing, blankets and food in aid of their respective communities.

A few more bags of clothing also joined this pyramid of food.
The proceeds of the collection went to the Kenton Cares community initiative. We Have to thank the Kenton Community for the support they showed us during our collection.
Sunshine Coast Biker Rally
Next up came the weekend where the Alex/Kenton210 Round Tabler's and their better halves ran the bar at the Sunshine Coast Rally. Festivities started on the Thursday when the facilities were prepared at the hall at Stanley's.
The bar was maintained until the early hours of Sunday morning. Fun was had by all, some more than others, but it was a wonderful experience to meet a large variety of new people. Initially the weather was of concern, but luckily for all the sun did manage to make an appearance just in time for the folks that stayed in tents.

And then we also had a few guest appearances from past Tabler's, Pierre van Rensburg and Maryke Taljaard getting into the vibe of things with a few items procured at the stalls outside.
Superbru
Then came our Superbru fundraiser, which was a 1st time project for Alex/Kenton210. In short, Superbru is a score prediction game where points are allocated for choosing the victorious team and selecting the winning margin. This saw a group of 25 player take part in this years Super Rugby season. An entry fee of R200 was charged, of which the 1st half would go to the pool champion at the end of the tournament and the other half be used for a charity.
At the end of the tournament Frank Catherine was crowned champion, but due to being an out of town resident his sister Cynthia Catherine accepted the winnings on his behalf.

We are aiming on increasing the number of players for the next season , with prizes for the first 3 places and a few spot prizes for the die-hard players that do not end up in the top 3.
I have to thank everyone for contributing towards this fundraiser. As a closing note Superbru also pointed out that one does not need to watch rugby to be a contender, as Guillym Theron, the ever present Tabler up for any challenge, who doesn't really watch rugby, managed to fly up the ranks to take second spot. Well Done Guilly!!!
This is Guillym...
Kenton Capers 2014
Kenton Capers is also back on track with rehearsals already on the go. Here are a few of the pictures from rehearsal time. Please come and support us while we attempt to look serious while entertaining the locals and holiday makers at the end of the year.

A bit of Socializing while eating pizza.
Then, there must always be a little time put aside to just catch-up and relax between a few friends.
One cannot just work all of the time. Thanks to the Goosens for hosting the social.
And that is it from me for now. I will be posting again shortly.
