Hi Ian

We actually had a masters meeting last night. I have been awaiting the council to confirm dates, which has now been finalised. So yes the dates are the 12 – 14 March 2015, some games will commence on the Wed (11^th) evening maybe 4/5 games as most of the teams will already be here, last games to finish on the Saturday afternoon.

I will send out a more formal invite this week to all representatives, but if we could post it on the site for now that would be great.

Thanks

Donn

The 2015/2016 Durban Organising Committee have discussed the possibility of moving Masters one (1) week back (earlier), the weekend before the long weekend.

The reasons why they are suggesting this is the following:

• Flights and accommodation in Durban will be cheaper over a normal weekend,
• There will be rugby on in Durban,
• It won’t clash with SA Lifesaving which is in Durban (accommodation issues here again)
• Gives the players the chance of spending the long weekend with family?

What are your thoughts here?

Is your province in favour of moving the date one week earlier?

Yes: 6
No: 0

Following the 2014 AGM, KZN were successful in their bid to host the annual SA Masters Waterpolo tournament for 2015 and 2016.

• Dates for 2015 will still need to be confirmed.
• The organisers were asked to look at retaining the same weekend in 2015 around the public holiday.
• AGM will be held on Wednesday night and the tournament to run from Thursday through to Saturday – dates to be confirmed.
• Games will be scheduled to start at 08h00 on the Thursday.
• The current four (4) age grouping would remain in effect for 2015.
  • 25+
