That also means the OSA Dinner (see Pg 3) and OSA Golf Day (see Pg 4) are nearly with us and space is running out so get your tables and 4 balls booked so you don’t miss out. Another great thing happening as we move towards better weather, is the second edition of the OSA Lottery which holds some great prizes for the new year, possibly something in Hong Kong for those of you who enjoy the number 7. If you have been to Higher Ground Restaurant recently, you would have noticed we have added a Dinner in the Sky (see pg 4) which will be available for your year-end functions and all through summer. It is an awesome experience and I would advise you to book now for an amazing meal with an even better view than before. We continue to grow the names around the crown of our bar with the Make your Mark program (see Pg 14), an opportunity to have your name permanently placed in the One & All Club, commemorating your time at the school. For only R350, you will “Make your Mark” at the school. We have finally found a solution for the membership cards, which has been a long time in the pipeline and will be implementing the system over the rest of the year, a system aimed at promoting the use of the facility and putting cash back in your pocket at the same time. It will take us some time to implement the system as we change over from our existing platform, but it will be worth it in the long run. Please keep your eyes open for the details on the discounts and cash back options. With so much happening and year end functions on the way, don’t forget to book your function at the Higher Ground Restaurant, and remember Life Members don’t pay venue hire fees on their bookings of functions. Just be sure to mention it in your booking. So enjoy the good weather and I look forward to seeing you at the Club. Regards Shaun Edmeston Chair Old Stithian Association and Old Stithian Trust [email protected] www.oldstithian.com 3 OLD STITHIAN ASSOCIATION 2016 ANNUAL DINNER Carel Nolte (1991), Chair of St Stithians College Council will be hosting the 2016 OSA Annual Dinner, and hereby requests your company : Date : 16 September 2016 Venue : One & All Club Time : 19h00 Cost : R400 p.p.
