President's Message
Posted by Don Tindale on Oct 06, 2016
President’s Pen 4th October 2016
 
The last meeting was an informal meeting discussing football finals in general, with an amusing recollection of country finals by our own Terry Rodoni.  It seems that the football ‘passion’ runs deep and strong in the country so it is no wonder Australians go wild at AFL finals. 
 
Our guest on the day was Paige Honor, president of our Rotaract Club.
 
Thought for the week “All life is an experiment.  The more experiments you make the better.” Ralph Waldo Emerson.

6.     World Record Attempt

Jarod Cresp of the Port Adelaide Recreation Centre (Basketball SA) and NWBL referee wrote "I just thought I would send some information concerning the Guinness World Record attempt. On October 22 & 23 our wheelchair basketball players will be trying to break the record for the longest continuous wheelchair basketball game. They will be aiming to play for 32 hours. This will occur at the Titanium Sports Arena, 44a Crittendon Road, Findon. from Saturday 9am until Sunday 5pm.

The purpose of the event is to raise much needed funds and awareness for wheelchair basketball in SA, so it would be great to see as many people there as possible.

Bumpy Landings

Just after a very hard landing, the flight attendant came on the intercom and said, "That was quite a bump and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault, it was the asphalt."

 

Overheard on flight into Cape Town on a particularly windy and bumpy day.

During the final approach, the Captain really had to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to The Mother City. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"

 

Another Flight Attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."
