On Sunday 17 January, the Lowveld District Dugout held their first meeting of the year.

It was also the first meeting under the new District Old Bill, John Calmeyer (of Jock Shellhole, Sabie).

DOB John replaces the late Butch James, who was still DOB when he was called to Higher Service in October last year. Butch held the position for 17 years, and left some seriously large boots to fill.

The meeting was held at Legogotu Shellhole (Nelspruit). A lot was discussed, and by the looks of things, 2016 is going to be a turning point for Mothdom in the Lowveld. Watch this space.

Congrats to Moth Rob Duke, who was put in charge of all things recruitish in the district. Rob will get his team together and work on a recruitment plan and strategy. His team will aim to raise the visibility of the MOTH brand in the Lowveld, and make the process of recruitment run as smoothly as possible from Alpha to Zulu.
