Ommiedraai Club held its annual prizegiving ceremony recently in Philipi. This glittering event was one of its kind. Myself and the top runner Nyaniso Qwesha were fortunate to be representing Gugs.

We thoroughly enjoyed the food and entertaiment as well. As a chairperson …

How do you come up with those jokes of yours?

Every little bit helps

Collars can be put aside too

They came too

At times I think our athletes are not photo shy as you can see in most of these pictures. They like to pose for the lensman at every opportunity they get.
So if you would love to have your pic splashed out in these pages then smile when you see me and you must just find yourself here.

  We were wondering why was Jimmy at every race and this is what he had to say…………
I was asked why I run every race.
