The Things We Love February 2011 • aboutime.co.za • Your copy to keep all the things we love S T N TE ON C contents On the Cover There are the obvious things, like biting into a decadent chocolate bar or lying back and listening to your favourite music. But then there are the more obscure sensations: squealing your way through a horror movie; whizzing down a rollercoaster; or taking your shoes off after a long day at work. All these moments fire up some kind of pleasure. That much is obvious. But have you ever stopped to think why this is so? Do you ever wonder what exactly pleasure is, and why it exists?

Note the clubhouse, tennis courts, squash court, swimming pool & play area for kids. 2 Letter from the Chairman Zwartkop Country Club is steeped in history. Its fairways and greens speak softly and with reverence of the Golfing Greats who have graced them over the past 75 years – from Jack, Arnie, Gary, Lee and all the others. Many an exhibition match, many a Championship and many a SA PGA Tour event have been fought for and won here. More recently, the Ladies Tour have added to this beauty and all have played as determinedly as the men from yesteryear. Over the years the changes to the original course have tightened and improved the experience of membership and playing The Game at Zwartkop CC. Yet, despite these 75 years we are blessed with a Club that is vibrant and forward thinking. The Zwartkop juniors continue to grow in number and capability and the future is on a solid base. We are blessed with a growing number of Bowlers, who continue to do the Club proud. The Bowls section is a strong and focused group of wonderful people who play to enjoy themselves, but always to win! They too do us proud at provincial and national level. Similarly, the Snooker section is a tightly knitted group who consistently perform and represent Zwartkop CC at all levels. We value the commitment and exemplary pride they display. No Club exists, and indeed grows, without the requisite supporting functions.

The first register, published on 15 May 1981 covered the period from 1 Septener 1980 to 31 March 1981. The second register, published on 1 March 1982, covered the period from 1 April to 31 December 1981. The present register covers the period from 1 January to 30 June 1982. The "register" contains two lists: (a) A list of sports exchanges with South Africa arranged by the code of sport; (b) A list of sportsmen and sportswomen who participated in sports events in South Africa, arranged by country] * All material in these notes and documents may be treeiy reprinted. Acknowledgement, together with a copy of the publication containing the reprint, would be appreciated. No. 20/82 83-0669 -i - Introduction The movement for the boycott of apartheid sport has registered further advances in 1982. Several prominent sportsmen have rejected offers of enormous fees to play in South Africa and thereby demonstrated their attachment to the Olympic principle of non-discrimination. The registers of sports contacts with South Africa, published by the Special Committee, and appeals by the Special Committee and anti-apartheid groups, have helped dissuade a number of sportsmen and sports bodies from exchanges with South Africa. * The apartheid regime and its sports bodies have attempted to counter the growing isolation through secret deals to entice individual sportsmen by offers of exorbitant fees or prize money.
