STORMERS FUNDRAISING DINNER
On Thursday 21 April, we hosted the 13th Annual KGC/DHL Stormers Fundraising Dinner with the DHL Stormers to raise funds for the Chris
Burger Petro Jackson Players’ Fund.
During the evening a Q&A session with our General Manager, Danie Appel; Head Coach, Robbie Fleck; Schalk Burger Jr; Siya Kolisi and Nic
Groom left the guests entertained.
After a fabulous evening of wining and dining, the Stormers returned to action with another home Saturday game against the Reds. The end
result was a super 40 - 22 win.
Events leading up to the dinner included the annual KG Bowlers Hamilton/Villagers Day, and our Club Luncheon in April, with guest speaker
Theuns Stofberg (captain of the Springboks for four tests between 1980 and 1984). Generous proceeds were raised and donated during these
two events, totalling R13 000.
DHL and all our other sponsors contributed great auction and Lucky Draw prizes for the night, and at the end of the evening, we managed
to hand over a cheque of R106 538 to Gail Baerecke, General Manager of the Players’ Fund. Over and above this incredible achievement, a
staggering total of R781 000 has been raised at these evenings for the Players' Fund.
We would like to thank all our members, guests and sponsors, who contributed towards this very worthy cause and who made the evening a
huge success! We deeply appreciate the willingness with which you have and continue to sponsor our efforts in support of our chosen charity.
The Players’ Fund would not have been able to achieve the level of assistance that they provide to injured rugby players without your support.
EDITOR’S NOTE
Dear members and possible future members,
I would like to take this opportunity to remind all our members that the Club’s 91st Annual General Meeting will be held in
the Ballroom on Monday, 6 June 2016, starting promptly at 18:00. All members are encouraged to attend. Members will be
requested to present their valid membership card to gain entry to the meeting.
We have had a fantastic past season at Kelvin and as we go into the cold wintery months, Club management has prepared some
heart and soul warming special offers and events to cater for all. Have a look at the “What’s On @ Kelvin Grove Club” section.
A FEW NOTES TO HIGHLIGHT:
• Annual subscriptions were due by the end of March 2016 and we thank all our members who have settled their accounts
timeously. For those that have not yet made payment, kindly contact the accounts department on (021) 658 4503 to make the
necessary arrangements. Late subscription payments will result in a late payment fee.
• The resignation deadline each year is at the end of February. It is the same every year and we have a strict policy as per the
rules and bye-laws of the Club enforced by the members that NO resignation will be accepted thereafter. No exceptions
will be made to this ruling. If resignations are sent through after the deadline, members will be liable for payment of their
subscription for the coming year.
• Please note the following ruling for member’s guests and children at the Club:
MEMBER’S GUESTS
RESTAURANTS
All outlets once a month per guest and once a week per guest at the Barn.
SPORTING FACILITIES
Once a month per guest.
CHILDREN (UNDER THE AGE OF 12)
RESTAURANTS
The Barn and Waterside Restaurants once a week when accompanying an adult.
POOL AREA

Under no circumstances are children under the age of 18 allowed in the Pool Bar area or at the bench area in front of the
pool. It is strictly prohibited due to the current liquor law.
Please ensure that all guests are signed in by the member that they are accompanying.

CHAIRMAN’S COLUMN
The year always seems to accelerate once the Easter weekend is over and, for the first time in many years, the start of our winter rains and
the Easter weekend coincided.
We have enjoyed some very welcome rain but anyone seeing the state of the Steenbras Dam at the top of Sir Lowry`s Pass will realise that
we need a lot of rain in the catchment areas before our water position in the Western Cape improves.
For the next few months the sporting entertainment focus at the Club revolves around rugby. The 2016 Super Rugby Tournament is well
underway and although the new format may not be fully understood, Newlands remains well supported and, depending on the time of the
match, the Club is a popular meeting point for members and their guests before and after the game.
We look forward to hosting some Irish guests when South Africa take on Ireland in June.
Many of our members have had dealings with Serena Beddy at our front desk either in person or, on the telephone over the years but
may not be aware that she took desperately ill late last year. Danie Appel and his team organised a most enjoyable dinner that was well
supported by members and, attended by Serena and members of her family. The proceeds will, in a small way, assist with medical costs but
members wishing to make a contribution can still do so at Reception.
Our Chris Burger Petro Jackson Players’ Fund Stormers fundraising dinner has been a popular annual event for a number of years now.
More than R100 000 was raised this year at a very well organised function enjoyed by all who attended and we hope to reach a seven figure
contribution before the next Rugby World Cup.
At this time of the year, an inordinate amount of effort is required by management in following up late annual Club subscription payments.
Defaulters will, however, experience the inconvenience of cards that do not function at the gate, so please ensure that your payment has
been confirmed.
Our financial year has ended very positively and those details will be available in the Club`s Annual Report shortly. The Club’s AGM takes
place early in June and due notice of the date, time and venue will be given to members.
Remember that your Club is open on those cold and rainy winter days and that there will always be something enjoyable on the menu and
possibly a surprise like a curry!
Your support and constructive criticism remains a vital part of our vibrant Club.

CHEF’S CHOICE
OSSO BUCO
Winter weather has arrived and to kick off the rainy season we put this dish on the specials board in the Barn restaurant. It was
sold out on the first evening and our members loved it! To avoid missing out we’ve decided to share the recipe so that you can
make it at home. Don’t forget the gremolada as this adds a lovely fresh lift to any stew. Use it on ox tail, bredie or chicken.
INGREDIENTS
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2.5 kg veal or beef shanks cut into 1cm slices
1 cup flour
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
1 large carrot, coarsely chopped
1 medium celery stalk, coarsely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1⁄2 teaspoon marjoram
• 1⁄2 teaspoon basil
• 1⁄2 teaspoon thyme
• 1 small can peeled Italian tomatoes, drained and coarsely
chopped
• 2 1⁄2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 cups dry white wine
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 large bay leaf
• 4 sprigs parsley
GREMOLADA
• 1⁄2 cup minced parsley
• 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
DIRECTIONS
• In a large flameproof casserole, melt the butter in the oil over moderate heat.
• Dredge the veal in the flour and shake off any excess. Working in batches, sauté veal on all sides until golden brown. Do not
crowd the pan. Remove to a bowl.
• Add the onions, carrots, celery and garlic. Cover and cook until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Place the veal on top of the vegetables, making sure the bones are upright. Sprinkle the marjoram, basil and thyme on top.
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, and white wine, chicken stock, strips of lemon zest, bay leaf and parsley sprigs. If necessary,
add enough water to cover the shanks.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the meat is tender, about 2 hours.
• Transfer the veal shanks to a heated platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Increase the heat to high and boil, stirring
frequently until the sauce is reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Pour the sauce over the meat.
• Just before serving, combine the parsley, garlic and lemon zest to make the gremolada.
• Sprinkle over the top of the Osso Buco.

MARCH WINE TASTING - FORT SIMON
Our March wine tasting was hosted by Stander Maas, the wine maker from Fort
Simon Wine Estate.
Fort Simon, nestled in the beautiful winelands of Stellenbosch, was established in
1997. The estate offers a beautiful and romantic castle-style wedding and function
venue unique in character and impressiveness.
Stander joined Fort Simon in 2006 as Assistant Winemaker and was appointed Cellar
Mater in 2010. He has also previously worked in New Zealand where he made red
and white wine, with an emphasis on white wine.
On the night, Stander did an excellent job in acquainting us with their beautiful
hand-crafted wines which have received numerous awards and accolades since
1998. His knowledge and passion for wine and the industry left us with plenty
to digest.
The quaint medieval style tasting room is open to the public Weekdays: 09:00 –
17:00 and Saturdays: 10:00 – 14:00 and makes for an excellent day out.

provided in the Pavilion. Kelvin ended up victorious, winning 7 matches to 5.
3 APRIL 2016 - RUGBY PLAYERS’ FUND CHARITY DAY
The eighteenth Chris Burger/Petro Jackson Bowls Day saw 96 bowlers on our greens. The day was a great success with the
weather being perfect.
At lunch, Gail Baerecke, the Fund's general manager, gave a short video presentation featuring the support the Fund gives young
rugby players who were severely injured while playing the sport.
Together with the generous sponsorship from both Personal Trust and Kelvin Grove, the Bowls section was able to donate R12
700 to the Fund.
12 APRIL 2016 - KEN CUNNINGHAM SINGLES TOURNAMENT
Twenty four entrants of the over 75 age group participated in this singles competition. The overall winner was Bill Jardine with

TENNIS
Kelvin entered two teams in the veterans section of the West Province league. Both teams finished in the middle of the final log.
At times we struggled to fill the teams due to injuries and other commitments, so any player over the age of 50 who is interested
in some competitive tennis, please give me a call at 082 460 1234.
The next league competition will be starting in September, but there will be tennis practice on Wednesdays and Saturdays - for
details, give me a call.
Social tennis for new and current members will be every Sunday from 9:00 for players at all levels, for details call Craig Strang at
082 573 4426.

GOLF
2016 seems to be in full flight with our KG golfers enjoying the dry weather thus far, but we do hope for some really good rain or
we might be playing on oiled greens!
Thanks to Paul D and Tom H who have picked up running the bookings – appreciated.
I’ve been away for a wee journey in Vietnam and Cambodia – and I assure you SA is in pretty good shape. Their road users are
craftsmen and they drive / ride like saints – avoiding accidents and promoting smooth traffic flow. Motor cycles in the cities are
50% of the people population and they make it work without rules or rage. Looked in at Montgomerie Links outside Danang…
Around R3 000 for 18 holes but does include a cart! So SA is looking really attractive.
Looking forward to the continuing support as always. Danie is working on a Kelvin golf shirt which will be very uniting.
And yessssssssssss – MAYPD
GEOFF CLARK
BRIDGE
Being a friendly Bridge Club, we hope any Kelvin members thinking of starting bridge again or wanting to meet a new group of
players, will consider coming to one of our Monday or Friday afternoon games in the Library.
We have a system of cutting out after every six deals thus enabling you to move on to a new table and to meet a different group
of people.
You are welcome to join us between 13:30 – 17:00. Snacks and drinks can be obtained quickly from the nearby coffee shop/
lounge. We play mainly Contract Bridge but are amenable to BONE by agreement of each table as many of us prefer that. We play
for wickedly high stakes and the most I have lost in an afternoon is R1.50, so you have nothing to fear.
We look forward to seeing you this year. For more information on bridge, contact Daphne Hawkins on 021 686 7991
or 072 358 4280.

SQUASH
League resumes this week for all four Masters, and three men’s and ladies’ leagues. Results have been mixed but we are pleased
with the spirit in which the matches are played. I am delighted to announce that Derek Becker was the Western Province over
70s champion. Unfortunately due to the timing of the tournament, it attracted very few entrants, otherwise I am sure Kelvin
would have had some other winners! Athlee Mclear, our club captain, still continues to attract new players to her Tuesday school
and if anyone else is interested please contact me.
Keep enjoying your squash.

Our congratulations to the winners and thanks to all who took part.
In the inter-club competition we came a close second to Somerset West in the Robinson Cup and achieved some good results in
the last matches in the War Tomes Wednesday League.
At the Western Cape Championships Richard Prosser and partner beat Anne Oxton and partner in the Open Doubles
final, Richard was the runner-up in the Open Handicap Singles and Caroline Burr and partner won the Handicap Doubles.
Congratulations.
Three of our members travelled to Port Alfred for the Alan Wilson Tournament (effectively the Eastern Cape Championships)
and came back laden with silverware. Richard Prosser beat his wife, Margot, in the Open Singles final and with his doubles
partner beat Anne Oxton and partner in the Open Doubles final. Richard and partner were also the losing finalists in the
Handicap Doubles. A very successful trip!
The weather has, of course, made this a fantastic season for croquet. We must, however. thank Brian Chetty and his team for
keeping our courts in such wonderful condition despite the problems of the drought.

“Thank you for another delicious dinner last night and my only complaint is we are spoilt and given too much - the portions are
most generous.”
- Lynn Parkin l Bridge Dinner
“Wish to add that that I have arranged two dinners for the Rolls Royce Enthusiasts’ Club (RREC) – Cape Town Section – in
October 2015 and February 2016. Both were held in the Terrace Restaurant, and parking for our cars was arranged on the lawn
between the Tennis Courts and the Clubhouse. I want to say that our members enjoyed both occasions very much – both the
ambiance of the Club and the food and service. My thanks to Gareth Wever and to the staff of The Terrace Restaurant for two

“I just wish to thank you, your assistant manager and all concerned for a very good evening at the Waterside last Friday. The
menu worked well and the service was very quick given the number of people. Please thank all the staff involved for making it an
enjoyable evening for us.
And of course thanks to you Danie for supporting the event, and for all the vouchers, table wine and raffle wine”.
- Geoff Clark | Dinner Waterside Restaurant
“We attended the dinner in the Ballroom for Serena. I need to congratulate the Club for the outstanding event. Apart from the
excellent meal provided for the event it showed the wonderful attitude and care that the Club has for their staff. This told all who
attended what the Club is all about.’’
- Margaret Thomson | Serena Beddy’s Dinner
‘’Thanks sincerely for the super evening last night, we really enjoyed being there with everyone. I want to congratulate the team
on an excellent function and especially the catering staff for the lamb shank… which was superb… rave reviews from our table
guests. I hope to be able to add more value to the next event in the form of additional golf and also some accommodation etc.’’
