With the second half of the year well on its way, it appears to be business as usual. The year started off on a relatively sad note after council learnt of the passing of both Garnet Cross and Chris Arbous. A special thanks to those who wrote the eulogies for the respective gentlemen.
The long-awaited Electra Mining Exhibition to be held from 5 to 9 September this year is fast approaching. I am pleased to announce after some negotiating that SAFPA will once again have a stand at the show. Counsil would like to invite each and every SAFPA member to visit the stand and hopefully bring some new faces with you.
Training as always is high on the counsil priority. A Hose Safety Course was held in June with excellent feedback from all who attended the course. Further marketing material will be created to highlight the crucial nature of this course to attract more delegates.
SAFPA recently held its annual golf day at the Benoni Country Club. A total of nine four-balls were booked for the day which was a little disappointing as we have seen larger fields in the past. It was a successful day as all who participated had a great time with a fantastic food selection at the end of the evening. Thanks to all who participated and assisted in the event. A survey will be sent out by the managing agent to ascertain why we had fewer participants than normal. Could it be that the event was hosted on the last day of the month?
The cycle race from 2021 is still being rescheduled. Right now council is in talks with Serengeti and Modderfontien to host the event after the initial track at ERPM has been abandoned.
