Register of sportsmen and sportswomen who participated in sports events in South Africa from 1 July to 31 December 1985................................. 24 -1- INTRODUCTION The campaign to isolate apartheid spor tsfrom the international sports arena was intensified in 1985. The cancellation of the New Zealand Rugby Football Union's tour of South Africa in July 1985 and the announcement that the Lions rugby team, composed of players from Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, was not going to tour South Africa in 1986 were significant gains in the anti-apartheid sports campaign. Nevertheless, while most internationally known individuals and teams no longer maintain sports contacts with apartheid, several sports organizations and individuals from Western countries, especially the United Kingdom and the United States of America, continue to maintain links with South Africa. The continuation of such sports exchanges with South Africa helps to boost the morale of the apartheid r6gime and it is delaying the elimination of racism in sports. I. INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION AGAINST APARTHEID IN SPORTS On 10 December 1985, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the International Convention against Apartheid in Sports by 125 votes to none, with 24 abstentions (resolution 40/64 G, annex). The Convention calls for the expulsion of South Africa from all federations in which it continues to hold membership, and states, inter alia: "...States Parties shall prohibit entry into their countries of members of teams and individual sportsmen participating or who have participated in sports competitions in South Africa and shall prohibit entry into their countries of representatives of sports bodies, teams and sportsmen who invite on their own initiative sports bodies, teams and sportsmen officially representing a country practising apartheid and participating under its flag. States Parties may also prohibit entry of representatives of sports bodies, members of teams or individual sportsmen who maintain sports contacts with sports bodies, teams or sportsmen representing a country practising apartheid and participating under its flag." II. INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS Until recently, police harassment and sabotage of anti-apartheid sports activities were relatively subtle. However, the present unrest in South Africa has been used by the police and supporters of apartheid to initiate direct attacks on sports activities and individuals. In October 1985 police fired teargas into the middle of a football (soccer) field during a game in the black township of Guguletu, Cape -2 - Province. Mr. Sam Dakusi, President of the Guguletu Football Association, said that the game had to be abandoned 15 minutes before the end of play because of the gas. "There was no trouble, no one threw stones, I don't understand why they did it", continued Mr. Dakusi. 1/ An explosion seriously injured two men and destroyed the home of Mr. Dan Watson, a strong supporter of anti-apartheid sports activities. His two sons, Valence and Cheeky, both rugby players, had caused a stir a few years earlier when they joined a black rugby club in New Brighton, near Port Elizabeth. Valence and Cheeky were immediately banned by the government-recognized South African Rugby Board (SARB). Most black South Africans continue to refuse to co-operate with government- recognized bodies that falsely claim that sport is totally integrated in South Africa. Quite often black golfers are not admitted to clubs because most do not accept black members. In December 1985, a golf club in Middelburg, Transvaal, again blocked black membership because the majority of whites refused to alter the club's constitution, which bars membership of blacks. Black golfers have to travel up to 200 kilometres to find a golf course where they are allowed to play. 2/ In December 1985, a black marathon runner was arrested after a sports meeting because of his colour and his lack of a pass to be in the area. 3/ The few black teams who participate in competitions of the racially structured SARB regularly face humiliation. One black official said: "Our players are victimized, and are called by racially denigrating remarks, punched, kicked and local referees do nothing about it". The worst offender was Stellenbosch Rugby Club, of which Dr. Danie Craven, the President of SARB, is a member. Dr. Craven, however, tried to cover up these racial attacks by dismissing them as "a pack of lies". 4/ III. INTERNATIONAL ACTION The deteriorating situation and continuing oppression in South Africa has caused many Governments and sports organizations to intensify action against South African sports. At the biennial meeting of the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA), held at Addis Ababa, delegates condemned South African manoeuvres in trying to lobby for re-entry into international sports while retaining all the trappings of apartheid within its sports movement. The meeting condemned the support given by some Western countries and called for the immediate cancellation of all sports exchanges with South Africa. The meeting also urged "the International Olympic Committee not to entertain any dialogue with the apartheid r6gime and its sports administrators until after the abolition of apartheid, the root cause of racial discrimination and inequality in South African sports". -3 - In November 1985, the International Yacht Racing Union (IYRU) banned South Africa from competing in all events comprising Olympic classes. The decision, taken at the annual meeting of the Union, excluded South Africa from world and continental championships in the seven Olympic classes, and in the IYRU youth and women's events. Mr. Beppe Croce, President of IYRU, said that the decision was significant because South Africa was now a member of very few international sports federations that were affiliated with the International

    It’s that time again, high season, lots of activity, bustling around from morning ‘til night. And we all have our favorite things we look forward to year after year. Well, this season, here’s something really special to add to that list! On March 18th, the Israel Tennis Centers Foundation, in partnership with Jewish Federation of Greater Naples, will host an exhibition with their student team from Israel, at the Players Club & Spa at Lely Resort in Naples. The exhibition is part of their 2019 Winter exhibition tour. By the time the team reaches Naples, they will have swung through over 15 appearances across South Florida during February and March. The Israel Tennis Centers Foundation holds exhibition cycles several times a year, bringing diverse teams of children to the US, that take part in their educational and sports programs across Israel. This season’s team is a multicultural group of 4 Israeli junior tennis players, including Koral, a 17-year-old girl from Tel Aviv; Jasmine, a 10-year-old Arab girl from Akko; Ariel, a 10-year-old boy from Tel Aviv and Tuval, a 19-year-old young man also from Tel Aviv. The team will be coached by ITC Alumnus and former #18 in the world in Singles, Amos Mansdorf. During their US appearances, in addition to exhibiting their skills on court, these youth ambassadors will share their personal stories about the impact of the ITC on their lives off court, on their families and the communities in which they live. The ITC represents a safe and nurturing educational environment in which these children can learn vital life values while sharpening their tennis skills.

It seems that most of our clientele prefer to travel in the "off season apd not to be involved in the summer rush. There are so many deals to near and far away places that it is no longer feasible to offer "specials" to anywhere —just know that they exist all the time to everywhere!!! This last weekend Carol and I spent a very special 4 days at the new Anassa Hotel — 35 minutes drive from the Paphos Airport in Cyprus, which is in itself only a 45 minute flight from Tel Aviv. I can honestly say that the hotel is without doubt the finest hotel I have ever stayed at — a real masterpiece — on the sea, beautiful setting, great food, but wow, it is expensive!!! — something to save for a special occasion.
