For owners who are currently busy with alterations or building operations at their properties, we would like to remind you that the contractor’s gate will be closed from the 13th of December 2013 and will only reopen on Monday the 6th of January 2014. No building contractors will be granted access to the Estate over this period, including paving contractors and painters, etc. Garden services and emergency contractors like plumbers, roof leak repairmen and window repairman will however be granted access over this period.

Over the festive season there are residents who wish to give security personnel gifts for the services rendered throughout the year.

The HOA does not discourage this but it is essential for various reasons that this process is controlled. A register will be opened at the HOA building and all gifts supplied will be entered into the register and will then be evenly distributed amongst the security personnel. The reason for this is that in most cases, residents usually provide gifts to the personnel during the day shift, and in turn, the night shift do not receive anything. This practice then acts as a preventative measure

We can register them for a specific period of time or even certain days and times. Please also remember the newspaper delivery.

This time of the year is also known as “silly season” so please be careful. One tends to forget about the criminal element outside of the Estate, so make sure no valuables are left in your car while in the shopping malls or while stationed at traffic intersections.

D R AW A family event

After five successful years, the Lucky Draw has snowballed and has become the most awaited monthly event, as initially envisaged by Richard Rippon, previous WCC chairperson.

The whole idea is that every last Friday evening of the month, the Woodhill community, residents and members have an informal and enjoyable evening at the clubhouse. Congratulations to Jacques Pienaar our October winner.

To all of our new residents and members, please join us with your family and friends!

CONFERENCE FA C I L I T Y R E V I E W Q&A with Willie Horn: Capitec Bank

With upgraded conference facilities, new furniture and professional, friendly staff, Conference @ Woodhill is sure to become the go-to establishment for conferences of all sizes and types.

Our new caterers Wiesenhof are sure to tend to any requirements one may need and with the introduction of WiFi, the process of hosting a conference will be even easier. Woodhill has a prime location, is secure, has adequate parking and covers any technological requirements needed for hosting a conference. Capitec hosted their successful conference at Woodhill and they were kind enough to answer some questions about their Conference @ Woodhill experience.

Q: Did you find the Estate and all of the facilities offered to you easily?

A: Yes; my team came from all over Gauteng and the directions provided were spot on!

A: Very friendly and helpful.

Q: What is the conference venue like?

A: The size of my team makes it difficult to cater for but Woodhill ticked all the boxes.

It Was Worth 12 Years of Waiting Each pupil at Woodhill College remembers the day they walked through the school gates for the very first time, with feelings of nervousness and uncertainty. On the 20th of September, the Matric pupils symbolically made their last entry through the gates of Woodhill College, with a sense of pride and anticipation.

A part of the Matric farewell, which is almost as exciting as the actual Matric Dance itself, is the ride you make your grand last entry in. Every couple made sure their last journey through the gates was as grand as possible with pupils arriving in exotic sports cars, cute Fiat 500s, crazy taxis and even a boat escorted by team of Harley Davidsons. Each couple had a red carpet experience when they were flooded by flashing cameras and cheers as they walked down towards the venue.

It was quite a sight to see all these once little boys now grown up as young men looking dashing in their suits and ties and the same can be said about the girls, who have blossomed into young women, each looking stunning in their evening dresses. The theme for the evening was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and each pupil was blown away as they entered Checkley’s Sweet Factory, with all the preconceived expectations far exceeded. Everything in the room was edible as you crossed over a bridge into a wonderland which would be too much for even the biggest sweet tooth. A special thank you on behalf of all the Matrics to Mrs Peché and her team for putting everything together and leaving our jaws hanging in amazement of what can be done.

Speeches were kept to a minimum as the focus of the evening was to socialise and enjoy fellowship with one another for the last time. With the dance floor opened by the head prefects, certain pupils showed off their dancing skills whilst others gave it a go with their two left feet.

The dance floor was filled with smiles that could stretch across the universe, smiles of pure joy and happiness which created an unreal atmosphere experienced only once in a lifetime.

26 W

The meals for the evening ran hand-in-hand with the theme, as we were treated to steak with a chocolate sauce, a combination that surprisingly sends your taste buds on an adventure, and then a chocolate fountain for dessert. It is impossible for words to capture the feelings and emotions that ran through each person’s body that night, as incredible memories were made.

The Matric Dance of 2013 was an indescribable event that was definitely worth 12 years of

waiting and it will remain a fond memory in the hearts of each Matric pupil. Our journey as pupils at Woodhill College has sadly come to an end, but as one door closes another opens, and a special thank you to all the staff for preparing

These meals consist of rice, soya mince, dried vegetables and vitamin powder and are packed in units that will feed a family of six.

Woodhill College parents responded with incredible generosity when the call went out to raise the R30 000 needed to fund this event and the facilitating churches are keen to see these events grow in frequency and spread throughout the community – benefitting more and more needy individuals and families.

FOUNDATION SCHOOL DRESS-UP DAY – 18 OCTOBER On 18 October we had our annual Dress-up Day. This year the Grade 000’s dressed up as something from Under the Sea, the Grade 00’s dressed up as Disney characters and the Grade 0’s had to dress up as something that started with the same letter as their name. We had mermaids, fish and sharks, princesses and superman as well as a Jack-in-the-box, a giraffe and a robot. The children, staff and parents had lots of fun as we went around looking at the wonderful costumes and trying to guess who each child was.

FAREWELL TO OUR MATRICS – 10 OCTOBER Sadly for us, at this time each year we have to say goodbye to our Matrics. It has become a tradition at Woodhill College that during the last week of their school career the Matrics visit the Foundation School so that we can say goodbye to them. Many of the Matrics were in the Foundation School during their pre-school years.

Each Matric was presented with a candle by one of our Grade 000 children. This candle symbolises the light that shines within each one them. We trust that they will take the light that is within them out into the world so that they can be a light to those around them no matter where their path in life takes them. The handing over of the candles by the youngest members of the Woodhill family to those who are leaving is also a symbolic gesture.

Our ceremony ended with the release of balloons, carrying a wish for the future from each of the Matrics and the singing of the song “wish me luck as you wave me goodbye....”.

Our love and prayers go with them as they write their exams and begin their future

LADIES CAPTAIN Time flies when you are having fun, and we have been having a huge amount of it. With our Spring Couple’s Day being such a success, I feel like we should do that more often. The prize giving was a blast, with everyone being remembered, for their fun-filled errors!

The Woodhill Annual Charity Golf Day is on our doorstep; the 9th of November 2013, and we have so much excitement surrounding this special event at the Woodhill Country Club.

We have quite a responsibility this year. We have added more charities to the day as we would like to help more people this year, and we don’t want to change the numbers, so we really need all the support of each and every resident, corporate member and golf member at Woodhill.

The theme for this Charity Golf Day is ‘Carnival’. We have a huge target to reach in terms of sponsorship and are thus appealing to everyone to dig deep into their hearts for some support. We have arranged to have

the Pink Drive truck here on the day, for the convenience of all the Woodhill community.

The Pink Drive truck is a testing centre on wheels, which exams, both men and women for breast cancer. So please use this opportunity to have yourself, your partner and your domestic staff tested. We all have a social responsibility towards the people we know and that are part of our lives. An interesting fact regarding breast cancer; did you know that men are one percent of the population that gets breast cancer?

for your first day of school! Caring Daisies, our newest member, is a charity run by a few mothers who started out trying to help a single mother with triplets and made a nude calendar (very discreet) and sold it hoping to raise R45 000, but ended up raising R200 000! They decided to continue their charity, and have been doing really well.We also have Wespoort Uitreikskema, Sunrise Naskoolsentrum, Tshwane Haven, Oeboentoe and CMR. They are our regular charities, who really appreciate our support and love!

Our goal this year was to reach out and help even more people, so we have added Ons Huis, who aids individuals of all ages with mentally handicaps. They have a well-run facility and by supporting them, we will be able to help those with serious needs. We are also going to be helping the young children from Solidarity Helping Hand. Erasmuskloof, who start school next year, with all of their new school bags. This is a special charity because there’s nothing more wonderful than having a new school bag with brand new stationary

Let’s do this as a group and really change the lives of these people. Thank you for your support, and those who have already committed to being a part of our Special Day! - Erica Van Wyk

WO O D H I L L BUNNY GOLFERS

2013

During the last couple of years, one of the fastest growing sports in South Africa is ladies golf. With more ladies playing an important role in the business world today, you will find that they want to start playing and participating with the men on the golf course and I must say, the ladies are fierce competitors. Something I find very interesting is that many ladies are scared or intimidated to start playing the game.

Starting from scratch is always difficult and having the confidence to approach a complete stranger to coach you is never easy. However, I am glad to share with you that we have broken the ice regarding this matter. At the end of October we started promoting a five-week beginner program called “Bunny Classes” for all the non-golfing ladies in the Estate. I am very glad to say that we have had a great response with 10 ladies committing to the program.

The classes consist of a one-hour lesson per week over a five-week period at a cost of R600.00 per person. The idea was to create a very relaxed environment for our novice lady golfers and make sure that we have fun from the word go. The five-week course was divided into three driving range sessions and two short game sessions. After this I really think that the ladies would be able to make a much easier decision on whether they would like to continue playing this great game and who knows, even become members of the club. For all of you ladies who missed out on this opportunity, don’t worry as we will do this again in the near future. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you want to get started, I guarantee you will enjoy it.

well designed and installed irrigation system is far more cost effective during the lifespan of your garden, in terms of your time, investment, water usage, the growth and survival of your plants.

As the consumer, you place trust in the installers.

Below are a few important facts that can empower you when installing your irrigation system.

Irrigation systems should be designed based on the shape of your garden, types of plants you have, water flow and pressure in your area.

The shape of your garden and type of plants determines the sprayers that are used. Water flow and pressure will influence the cost of your system in terms of the number of sprayers you can use on a watering station.

An excellent irrigation system also needs to be able to adapt to seasonal changes, which can be achieved by automisation and the addition of rain sensors. Rain sensors will ensure that your system switches off on rainy days, thus reducing water costs and overwatering of plants.

Irrigation systems can be either manual or

demands of your garden, at set times. This spares the environment by only using the exact amount of water required, as encouraged by the Landscaping and Irrigation Association of SA (LIA. SA) Your garden can continue to be watered even when you are away, without having to give anyone access to your property.

There are different irrigation products that can be used, but stick to the proven winners such as Rain bird and Hunter.

Most importantly, use a designer and installer that you trust and with whom you can have open communication

BIRD SIGHTINGS Ek het ‘n mooi storie. Ons het verlede jaar ‘n garingboomstomp in ons tuin opgesit om Rooikop Houtkappers te lok. Hulle het daar ingetrek en lank daarin gewoon toe ek so 2 maande gelede opmerk dat ‘n swerm bye daar ingetrek het.

Ek het geglo die bye sou weggaan maar hulle het nie. Omdat ons kleinkinders het wat in die tuin rondspeel het ek die bye toe een aand uitgerook, die volgende dag was hulle weg. Die Saterdag daarna haal ek die stomp toe af en grawe ek die heuningkoek uit wat al mooi in die nes gegroei het. Ons het so muurtjie by die swembad waarop ons vrugte en kossies vir voels uitsit, en ek besluit om die stukkende heuningkoeke daar te gaan neersit. Dit was nie ‘n uur nie of ‘n Groot Heuningwyser het daar kom sit en vreet en vreet en vreet aan die larwes en heuningkoekwas. Dit was so mooi Aangeheg ‘n foto of so wat ek kon neem. Deesdae hoor ek hulle roep ( Victor Victor Victor), maar nog nie weer gesien nie. Sal weer vir heuningkoeke wil gaan soekom hulle weer te lok. Hulle moet baie goed kan ruik en sien.
