I was lucky enough to play in the Bangkok In-

ternational Tens, I try to make it every year, and

have a shopping arrangement with tournament

director, Eddie Evans! This year the Jamboys lost

in extra time in the final, devastated of course but

buoyed by the fact that we won the ‘Team Spirit’

award! I took a photo with a touring Japanese

team, fantastic spirit and guts, what they lacked

in skill they made up for as gentlemen of the

game – great privilege that a few of them were

wearing Springbok rugby gear and were delighted

to grab a quick photo! See you in 2019 fellas!

The annual Cape Argus! Cycling is not my game (I

will have to lose 20+ kilos like @cornekrige6

and @colincharvis) but the Cape Argus is a fun ride

that I got roped into thanks to Adidas, all good, sore

bum and pride after being beaten by people on penny

farthings and in rhino suits! There is always next year!

of BoB’S BuSy Calendar.

With the constant feedback that Bob “raises the

bar” and “brings a qualified and dynamic edge”

to proceedings, it’s no wonder when you see how

much he participates and enjoys these occasions!

fruit & Veg City recently hosted their National Confer-

ence in the city and while Bob was part of those pro-

ceedings at the CTICC, there was great sports to be had

on the golf course in the run up to the conference with

the large field of suppliers, clients and staff of Fruit

& Veg and with the founders, Brian and Mike Coppin.

tarsus recently held their annual awards evening and

dealers’ bash in the spectacular Monte Casino Courtyard

with over a 1000 in attendance on the night. The theme…

back to school… fitting as the whole venue was made up

with “classrooms”, “tuck shop” and “assembly” etc. In his

role as Host & MC, Bob took up the role in full stride!

Bob Skinstad as a Key Note Speaker or MC at your

The third in Bob Skinstad and Doug Boyes res-

taurant portfolio, the latest gem is at The Jose-

phine Mill next door to our good neighbours

WP Rugby and SAB, back where we belong.

The Mill is a beautiful building and we have

embraced this location and The Toad & Jose-

phine have certainly found the magic on the

banks of the Liesbeek River in Newlands!

Wood fired pizza oven, two lekker outside bars, and

the history of brewing and milling all around us is

what make the toad & josephine so special.

Come and check out the best ribs, springbok &

Guinness pie and pizzas in the Cape. As The Toad

himself always modestly says "I think you'll like it!"

Game days at the toad & josephine are buzzing

with activity and you are almost certain to bump into

legends of the game. Be sure to call in on your way to

Newlands! The itec innovate corner is always open for

clients and friends to pop in and share a welcome toast

on the day! Check this link out for contact details,

map and a fascinating history to Jacob the Toad!

SetH godinBeyond SHoWing up You've probably got that part nailed. Butt

in seat, smile on your face. We often run into

people who understand their job to be showing

up on time to do the work that's assigned.

We've moved way beyond that now. Showing up

and taking notes isn't your job. Your job is to

surprise and delight and to change the agenda.

Your job is to escalate, reset expectations and

make us delighted that you are part of the team.
