Mark's Minerals and no response regarding the DG's Visit


No, this is not Mark Cresswell giving his talk it's rather a picture of what might have been.

This is to cheer up all those who are missing the Soccer World Cup and are wondering what to do with their lives, what to watch on TV...certainly not the rugby......and getting to know the people they live with again. How many will be rushing off to watch Bafana Bafana play Ghana, I wonder?

Mark's talk was fascinating and really give me a tremendous insight as to what he actually does. The photos of him looking for coal in rural Nigeria
and the Sahara Desert were a real surprise. Equally interesting was historical minerals survey and his life long interest in lumps of rock! You can see the mineral samples he brought along. Iron Pyrites is real "bling" compared to Gold. I'm amazed more people aren't wearing it!



Neither President Graham or myself had any response concerning our queries about the DG's Visit and the Dinner on the evening of the 20th so we decided to go ahead with our normal meeting this week.



Graham Donet & Mike Vink are both going to the Dinner at the Country Club that evening and anyone who wishes to accompany them please let Mike know. We know it is at 19,00 but we don't know the cost.


I cannot accompany them as I am giving a talk to the Modderfontein Probus Club that evening, "What went wrong with South African Cuisine". As it has been too short notice to organise a speaker for us I will repeat it to the club the next morning. There are lots of pictures so you won't have to listen to me too much!








The Rotary clubs of Hout Bay, Blouberg, and Sea Point, South Africa, helped organize a bit of fun for Under 13 soccer players during a recent event in Cape Town, South Africa. With World Cup fever still in the air, the players learned about Rotary's Kick Polio Out of Africa campaign. Photo by Janey Ball
