KINDERGROEP
Ons nooi kinders van 1 - 18 uit om by ons groep te kom
inskakel. Die kinders is in ouderdomsgroepe: kleuters, junior, senior en
tieners ingedeel. D.m.v sang, speletjies en aanbiedinge leer ons van liewe
Jesus, en hoe Hy wil hę ons verhouding met ons ouers, boeties/sussies, maatjies,
familie, kennisse en vreemdelinge moet wees. Die tieners bespreek
sake/probleme wat op hulle van toepassing is. Ons kry ook hier kans om met
ander maatjies van Suid-Afrika te kuier. ALMAL is welkom en ek wil veral
vir die kleiner maatjies van 1 - 5 jaar nooi. Vanjaar is 'n eerste keer
vir die groep en ons het 'n tannie wat spesiaal met julle gaan werk, sing en
speel.
Ons gereelde bymekaarkom tyd is Maandagaande tussen 19:00 en
21:00. Die heel kleintjies se tyd gaan waarskynlik korter wees.
Vir meer inligting, skakel of epos my by : holweg@emirates.net.ae of 050
4436339.
Indien daar enige volwassenes is wat ook by die kindergroep
betrokke wil raak, kontak my seblief.

Rugby in
Abu Dhabi
Aan alle
nuwe en ou Suid-Afrikaaners in Abu Dhabi. Het julle geweet dat Abu Dhabi al vir
die afgelope 21 jaar n Rugby Klub het? Die klub staan bekend as die Abu
Dhabi Rugby Football Club (ADRFC). Die klub speel rugby teen die res van die
Gulf, bv. Dubai, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain en Qatar. Darryl Weir (n Suid-Afrikaner)
is as ontwikkelingsbeampte van die Gulf Rugby aangestel en verrig baie goeie
werk. Hy is Dubai gestasioneer.
Behalwe die senior span wat dalk
vanjaar 2 spanne in die liga kan hę is daar ook ‘n vroue span sowel as ‘n
“oldies” span en ‘n Mini and Youth Liga.
Die Mini and Youth liga is
vir die kinders (meisies en seuns). Abu Dhabi se Mini and Youth Rugby is baie
sterk en sowat 240 kinders het verlede jaar vir Abu Dhabi gespeel. Mini rugby
begin by O/5 en strek tot O/16. Die rugby seisoen is vanaf September tot
April en vir die kinders is daar elke Woensdag aand vanaf 18H00 tot 19H30
oefening. Die oefening word by die Weermag velde naby die Gulf Hotel en die nuwe
groot Mosque gehou. Daar heers ‘n aangename atmosfeer by die oefeninge. Terwyl
die kinders oefen sit die ouers en kuier en kamp om die veld. Die kinders
geniet die rugby want wen is hier nie die hoofdoel nie, maar om dit te geniet.
Wedeiwering is op ‘n gesonde voet en die afrigters sal altyd probeer om almal ‘n
kans te gee om n wedstryd te speel, maak nie saak hoe goed die kind is
nie.
Behalwe die lekker atmosfeer wat ouers by die oefening en
wedstryde geniet, hou die klub ook geleenthede soos danse, dhow ritte ens. Elke
jaar word daar ook 'n funksie vir die kinders aangebied, waar pryse vir die
beste spelers van die jaar uitgedeel word. Dit moet gemeld word dat ons as
Suid-Afrikaners hier ons klem af gesteek het, want verlede seisoen is twee SA
meisie as spelers van die jaar aangewys in hulle ouderdoms groepe. Dit moet in
gedagte gehou word dat hulle in dieselfde span as die seuns speel en dus
op gelyke voet met hulle meeding.
Inskrywings gelde om rugby te
speel is Dhs400-00 per gesin per seisoen. ( dit is die goedkoopste sport in die
UAE)
AfKom wys vir die res van die Expats dat ons as Suid-Afrikaners nog
‘RUGBY MAL” is

Tyd vir 'n grappie!
Jannie en sy maatjie
Bienkie (albei 6 jaar oud) speel op die plaas in die Kalahari. Toe hulle naby
die grensdraad kom, sien hulle 'n groot Merc stop 'n ent weg aan die ander kant
van die grensdraad onder 'n groot boom. Jannie en Bienkie hou die Merc dop, maar
niemand klim uit nie. Na tien minute sę Jannie vir Bienkie:
"Ek het nog nooit
'n Merc gesien nie. Kom ons sluip nader en gaan kyk hoe dit
lyk."
Versigtig klim hulle deur die grensdraad en sluip nader. Toe hulle
naby kom, sien hulle dat hulle albei te kort is om by die venster in te loer.
Jannie sę vir Bienkie:
"Buk af dan staan ek op jou rug, dan sal ek mooi kan
sien wat binne aangaan."
Bienkie stem in, buk af en Jannie klim op haar
rug. Toe hy binne-in kyk, rek sy oë groot en hy spring af. Bienkie vra hom:
"Wat is dit dan nou?"
Jannie sę vir haar:
"Ja wragtag, dis NES my
pa gesę het. Hulle is kaalgat, maar 'n Merc moet hulle
ry!!!"
