It is still unclear when the Premier League will finally kick off.

Meanwhile our team is fully engaged in preparations for the league.

All the contracts have been signed and coaches Tollie van Wyk and Dave Fransman are glad to announce that former Black Africa forward, Samson John, has joined Windhoek Optics Ramblers as successor to Henrico Botes, who now plays professional football for South African Premier League outfit Moroka Swallows.

Welcome to Ramblers, Samson!

The National Ladies hockey team, captained by Silke Pennefather, won a bronze medal in the Africa Cup com-petition in Pretoria when they managed to beat Nigeria 2:1 in their last game.

Congratulations!

The Mens team lost all their matches.

Stakes Coetzee was not at Ramblers last Friday night when his number was drawn. The jackpot increases to a whopping N$ 900 this Friday evening. Well, you know the rules!!

The big Ramblers dinner and dance party will take place on Saturday, 5 November at Heja Lodge and is surely not to be missed. Tickets are N$ 300 per couple and are available from Silke Pennefather at Airite Canopies (Tel 228348) or from Tessa at the club (Tel 242834).

We are glad to announce that a shuttle service will be provided on that day. The bus will leave at 17H00 at the club house in Tünschel street and will return from Heja Lodge at 24H00. The cost will be N$ 30 per person. Please contact Ralf Behrens at 2952147 or 081-1222347 if you would like to make use of this service.
