The Combined Shellhole Meeting held at Evenden House on Sunday 17 January 2016 was attended by 40 Moths
The 2015 Executive: Moths Graham Thorold – Vacant Chair (PB), Piet Marais – Vacant Chair (WB), Wessie vd Westhuizen – Casa Mia (Adj) and Joep Joubert – Casa Mia (OB) were relieved of their duties with a ceremonial kiss from the incoming Old Bill.
The blokes held an American Auction and elected Moth Marina Valentine from Casa Mia as the Old Bill for the 2016 combined meeting. The funds raised went to the Pretoria Cottages.
Old Bill Marina then appointed the rest of her Executive for the meeting as follows: PB: Theo Munro (Cbx/MkII), Adj: Noel Viljoen (Col Bogey), WB: Rob Williamson (Casa Mia) and Louis Meyer (Casa Mia) as the Sar’Maj
In the spirit of the combined meeting, the blokes were heavily fined for a whole range of actual and trumped-up transgressions. Old Bill Pierre de la Harpe from Ouma also raffled a bottle of wine signed by General Constand Viljoen. Moth Thinus Prinsloo – an ardent collector from Vacant Chair, who does even partake of the good stuff, won this sought-after prize. What a swindle! On the day, the combined meeting raised just over R 1,700 for the Pretoria Cottages. Well done, blokes!
After the meeting, the Sar’Maj formed up all the attendees at the Wall of Remembrance for a group photo with the 2016 Exec in the middle of the front row. During harmony the following Moths proposed the Toasts: Ons Land: Andre Bezuidenhoudt (Casa Mia) The MOTH:Hennie Bresler(The Wrecks) The Pretoria District:George Butler (The Wrecks) The Pretoria Shellholes:John Quinn (Field Marshal) Absent Friends: Wessie vd Westhuizen (Casa Mia)
