Sharp ELITE CLUB Seartec Hosts Team MEETING Sharp International A Competition‌ naturally! Wednesday the 4th of February saw the inaugural golf challenge sponsored and hosted by Seartec between the Beer Guzzlers (Blue Team) and the Teetotallers (Green Team) with players in town for the Cape Town takealot.com10s. The golf teams comprised of International rugby legends, ex Springboks and Proteas and friends of Seartec. A light shower greeted the players upon arrival but sunshine soon followed, the players were divided up into their teams and the friendly chat soon became competitive banter. Justin Kemp's tee shot set the tone, landing on the adjacent fairway, from there on in, high fives and cheers could be heard from all around the course. The Beer Guzzlers ended up being 4-2 victors on the day. Darren Cooke, captain of the winning team could be seen grinning from ear to ear till late into the evening. The highlight of the day was, without a doubt, the reunion and camaraderie between old friends and legends of the sporting world. Andre Coetzer

Spearheaded by the Damelin Randburg campus, in association with Seartec; distributor of the well-known Sharp brand, the breakfast attracted school principals from in and around Johannesburg, who showcased Damelin not as an alternate, but as a viable option with which to study further. In the power packed programme that featured actor Jack Devnarain of Isidingo as programme director, the principals motivated why their school was the most deserving of this life changing opportunity.
After several inspiring stories, the principals of ThutoLeefa School and Leap Science and Maths School won a massive R40 000 bursary each, courtesy of Damelin and Seartec. General Manager of Damelin Randburg, David Naidoo, and CEO of Seartec, Mark McChlery, also formed part of the presentation panel. Recognising the need and demand for higher education among the schools, Damelin granted a further R10 000 bursary to each principal present to be given to a pupil of their choice. In addition, a brand new Sharp microwave was awarded to Fidelators School in the Diepkloof Township. Themed, Degrees of Distinction in the Digital Sphere, Damelin and Seartec, presented a unique and hightech educational experience demonstrating the digital classroom of the future. Group Head of Communications for Educor, the holding company for Damelin, Jessie Naidoo, said that the event
was aimed at educating the principals on Damelin and its higher education programmes, which is on par with that of universities. Our objective is to reposition the mind-set of principals, educators, parents and students that Damelin is a well-established brand, with over 70 years in education. Studying with us, like any university, is an investment in your future, said Jessie. There will be a further 11 presentations to Principals around the country hosted by executives from Damelin Campuses and Seartec branches in these centres.

Hooligans and Gentlemen on a Journey to the Rugby World Cup A Tongue-in-cheek Talk on the Little Known History of Rugby ~ by Bob Skinstad “Rugby is a hooligans sport played by gentlemen� ~ Winston Churchill
Was William Webb Ellis really the first to run with the ovalshaped ball? What was touted as the first ever Rugby World Championship? Where does the tradition of awarding rugby caps come from and why did it take so long for the game to go professional? What was it like to be a Lion on tour to New Zealand in '71 or South Africa in '74, and what does it mean to win a Rugby World Cup? Sparked by his enthusiasm and curiosity to better understand the history of the game that he so dearly loves, ex-Springbok Captain Bob Skinstad has spent the better part of a year researching the story of rugby - not too easy for a battlehardened loose forward to do, mind you! What he found in the half gaps was an untold rugby heritage: of hooligans and heroes, of epic rugby battles fought and friendships forged, as the game grew across the globe.

Bob wants to share this journey with you. A journey that starts on the school fields of Rugby and now leads to the hallowed grounds of Twickenham, home to the 2015 Rugby World Cup Final. This is not just a talk for rugby lovers. This is a talk for anyone who is interested in the endeavours of the human spirit as we find ways to tackle our shared humanity through our desire to compete on level playing fields. And win. This is not your average speech with some off-the-cuff predictions about who to watch out for at RWC15. That would be boring. This is a thrilling, well-crafted narrative that will have audiences (corporates and sports enthusiasts alike) on the edge of their seat as they travel with Bob the hooligan and Bob the gentleman on a real rugby journey.
Out of Office!
