6.1 GBOBA Chairman's Report

Ladies and gentlemen, again welcome to our association's Annual General Meeting and the

Commissioning Day Dinner that follows, a very special welcome for those that have travelled from

afar including Old Salts who have travelled exceptional distances to join us today.

Also a special mention of the two reunion groups, 1979 and 1969, joining us today, their contribution

to the association is valued, particularly in tracing AWOL members.

The past year under review has been active for the association which is indicative to your committee

that The Legend Lives On. This is also due to the hard work put in by the various committee

members of your bursary fund. A separate executive summary report of the fund follows shortly.

Suffice to say at this point a Bravo Zulu to the fund's chairman, Keith Burchell, and all the other

members involved.

Membership, the life blood of the association; membership presently stands at 845 ex cadets;

regrettably 19 less than reported last year. This decline is a result of two primary factors, (a) the

passing of members and, (b) members going AWOL. We make every effort to maintain contact and

visit members on sick parade. But those going AWOL are a strain on the resources of the association

in trying to locate and establish contact again. Thus I again appeal to members to inform us of any

changes in contact details to ease the burden on the writer.

On the plus side of the membership balance sheet we have recruited a few post Bothie members to

our ranks, two of whom have joined us here today, Loyiso Jantjies and Nkazimlo Mtshixa. Both have

recently graduated from college Sea Safety Training Group with their Officer of the Watch

qualification, much the same as us graduating from the Bothie. In addition we have Tsoso Hanong in

Durban who completed his SAMSA Oral Examination last year. I hasten to assure members that their

membership meets our constitution criterion.

Our social events continue regularly with monthly lunch meetings both in Cape Town and Durban,

and similarly events worldwide including our Garden Route, Britain and Australia. In fact those in

Australia are so widely spread over that vast continent that they host events both on the west and east

coasts. The Cape Town monthly lunch hosts on a quarterly basis a guest speaker on subjects of

maritime interest jointly with the Society of Master Mariners. Last year I reported the end of an era;

the discontinuation of the Southern Lunch in Simon's Town. Subsequently a willing volunteer, Fred

Marais, stepped forward and resurrected the event in time for the scheduled quarter. Although the

primary aim was to gather those locals in the "deep south" other members travel across the country to

attend. Such is the spirit of the Bothie.

We continue to invite, as guests, our widows to the December lunch and our Senior Old Salts, with

their wife or a family member, to the Commissioning Day Dinner. Although many are unable to

accept the invitation for various reasons, most respond with their thanks and appreciation for being

remembered, and perhaps I may add, for being honoured. I remind members that sponsorship for

these overheads are welcome, some received for today for which we are grateful.

I continued to represent the Association at the Gunners Memorial Service; some names on our

cenotaph were in the army, and the ssMendi Memorial Service. In fact I have been questioned why

3

we do not lay a wreath at either of these two services, perhaps the members can share their views on

this later in the meeting, particularly the ss Mendi service.

I, often supported by other members, represent the Association at various other events. All reported

on our Face Book group and in our quarterly newsletters.

The Association again awarded a prize of binoculars to a deserving grade 12 student of Lawhill

Maritime Centre. Last year the winner was Helena Seebran who also won other prestigious awards

from Simon’s Town School as well as Lawhill Maritime Centre.

Molly Townsend, a retired artist living at the St James Retirement Hotel, donated a painting of a

naval cenotaph in the old cemetery above the naval dockyard as well as an autographed book of her

paintings of False Bay and surrounds. The Association in turn made the two items available for

auction at the Big Bottle Wine Party. The proceeds of the party, including the auction, go towards the

maintenance of Lawhill Maritime Centre's yacht Homero and students travelling to Spain, or

elsewhere, on an educational and sailing experience.

Further documents of the Association have been delivered to the Western Cape Archive and Records

Service for safe keeping and facilitating future researchers.

Under the helm orders of the GB Trust Chairman Kieron Cox the Trust has achieved its objectives as

mandated by this meeting last year. Although its chairman shall table his interesting report suffice for

me to place on record that the Trust's remaining financial asset has been transferred to the Association

or, in terms of our South African law; donated. The use of this, and other financial assets held by the

Association, is under consideration and discussion by your committee.

A highlight of the past year was the publication of Ian Manning's book; Gentlemen - The Ship! A

well-documented history of our original ship itself, from design to Royal Navy service, to our training

ship and its eventual demise; Bravo Zulu to Ian Manning for his contribution to preserving our

Legend.

The treasurer's report shall show the Association to be on even keel, with thanks to our treasurer

Bruce van der Meulen. Old Boys Dave Murray and Glen Kasner of African Marine Solutions provide

logistic support for the Memorial Service from their hard pressed budget. In addition another

member, who prefers to remain anonymous, provides substantial financial support to the Memorial

Service. We are indebted to them all; a vote of appreciation to them. Thus it is the members' Honour

and Duty to support and attend the service. I expect to see you all there tomorrow.

Although the Association is presently on sound financial footing I remind members that your

committee is planning for the future of the Association. The Association is run on donations and as

our profile ages it is expected that donations shall incrementally decrease, thus the need to provide

future financial security of the Association.

In closing my appreciation to the committee members for their unwavering support; certain topics at

times bring heated debate at the meetings, it is a healthy and encouraging debate. Bravo Zulu to you

all.

The Legend Lives On!

8 GBOBA Treasurer’s Report

In the absence of the Treasurer, the Chairman explained the financial statements (in section 8.1) for

the 2018 financial year to the meeting.

He drew attention to the following:

• Interest of R70 295 on the three year investment was received on its maturity in 2018.

• Events such as the Commissioning Day Dinner are not priced to make a profit.

• As noted in the Chairman’s report of the General Botha Trust, its financial assets (R99 555.94)

were transferred to GBOBA Cape Town Branch and are included under Donations in the Income

Account below.

8.1 ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

31 DECEMBER 2018

REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTANT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SATS GENERAL

BOTHA OLD BOYS ASSOCIATION, CAPE TOWN BRANCH

I have examined the books and accounts of the SATS General Botha Old Boys Association, Cape

Town branch for the year ended 31st December 2018 in accordance with normal accounting practice.

Due to the nature of the activities of the Association, it has not been possible to verify receipts prior

to their entry into the books of account. I have no reason to suspect that these have not been correctly

recorded.

Subject to the above and the notes on page 4, I have satisfied myself as to the correctness of the books

of account and the income and expenditure account and balance sheet attached hereto, and initialed

by me, which have been prepared from these books. I have verified the existences of the assets listed

in the balance sheet and am satisfied that the income and expenditure account and balance sheet are a

true and fair reflection of the activities of the Association for the year ended 31 December 2018 and

its financial position as at that date.

Acceptance of report proposed by: Dennis Henwood

8.1.1 Financial matters arising:

The Chairman and Vice Chairman responded to questions from the floor regarding income:

Membership fees: The Committee had decided not to implement membership fees as it was

considered that its administration would outweigh the benefit.

Donations: Instead of fees, donations from individuals are welcome and an appeal for funds in 2017

had an excellent response.

Mark-up on events such as the Commissioning Day Dinner: It was suggested that instead of pricing

events to break even, younger members, in particular, could afford to pay more. Personal phone calls

can be made to invite those who we know cannot afford it. Dennis Henwood, nevertheless, felt that

higher prices would put members off. The Chairman described the existing situation where Senior

Old Salts are invited as guests to the Commissioning Day Dinner and widows of members are invited

to the end of year function. In advertising the events, members experiencing financial constraints are

encouraged to contact the Committee.

9 The General Botha Trust

9.1 Trust Chairman’s Report:

It has been a busy year.

All the assets of the GB Trust have been disposed of in terms of the Deed of Trust.

As reported last year, all assets at the SA Navy Museum had already been donated to that Museum at

the time.

The Committee had dealings with the Iziko Museum and donated one model that had been on

permanent loan to them and reclaimed another model (that had been in storage) and this was donated

to Sea Safety Training Group.

Most of the items at CPUT were donated to Maritime Studies at that Institution with the exception of

some sextants (in storage), a model that was not on display and a compass binnacle. These items

were donated to Sea Safety Training Group as well and all items are on display at their premises.

The artefacts at SA Naval College were formally handed over to the Commanding Officer, Naval

College and two plaques were posted (one above the anchor and the other at the gangway) to keep the

Legend alive. Strong links were forged with Naval College and the SA Navy during this process.

A painting of the Light house at Granger Bay was returned to the family that donated it.

All the financial assets (just under R100 000) were transferred to the GBOBA, part of which is ear-

marked for future projects.

An additional Roll of Honour Board was initiated by Captain Ian Manning acknowledging two cadets

who died in Wars subsequent to the World War 2 Roll of Honour Memorial Board. This will be

unveiled tomorrow and put on display at the SA Navy Museum.

8

The Master of the High Court noted the resolution to terminate of Trust and placed this on record

(27th February, 2019). We can clear the final process with the South African Revenue Service.

9.1.1 Trust matters arising:

Dennis Henwood said that the Association can be proud of the Trust committee and what they have

achieved. He suggested that members of the Trust be welcome to attend and participate in meetings

of CT Branch concerning the legacy of the Association.

10 Bursary Fund

10.1 Bursary Fund Report

In the absence of the Chairman of the Bursary Fund, Tony Nicholas reported on the activities of the

Fund with a series of photographs that depicted mentoring, training activities such as camps, and

ship visits. Special mention was made of the trip that a small group of bursars had to Spain and the

September camp with NSRI instructors.

Meeting the costs of the bursars at the Lawhill Maritime Centre and, in 2019, 2 students at tertiary

institution requires a budget of R2 million per year. The Fund requires reserves to cover the entire 3

year course of a student at LMC. Included in the foregoing budget are the training activities for

which the support of SAIMI (South African International Maritime Institute) is much appreciated.

The budget submitted to them for 2019 awaits approval.

It was noted that the Fund was originally funded by donations from individuals but today, in

addition, relies on corporate support as well as fund-raisers such as the Annual Golf Day and Big

Bottle Wine Party.

Acceptance of report proposed by: Peter Coetzee

Seconded by: Neil Mouton

10.1.1 Bursary Fund matters arising:

It was asked from the floor whether maritime companies are showing an interest in the Fund. The

Chairman replied that the shipping industry is experiencing shrinking income and this has affected

support. The Fund is trusting that the industry will recover.

It was noted that the two bursars who completed the Officer of the Watch training course in 2018

will be joining ships shortly, one with Grindrod and the other with MACS.

11 New Business and other matters arising:

11.1 Koos Louw extended congratulations on implementation of decisions discussed and taken at the

previous AGM to prepare for the future with regard to the Trust – and its assets - and to membership

(the two most recent new members Loyiso Jantjies and Mtshixa Nkazimlo being present at the

AGM). He also thanked the Association for its involvement with T.S. Woltemade Sea Cadet Base

and involvement of individual members with Izivunguvungu in Simon’s Town. He challenged

members to become involved in other parts of the country.

11.2 Brian Ingpen noted that Norman Caseley, the last of the cadets who had served on the barque

Lawhill, passed away in 2018.

He paid tribute to Bursary Fund and its members for their amazing support of the Lawhill Maritime

Centre and named a long list of individual members who contributed in a number of ways during

2018.

12 Election of GBOBA Committee for the Year 2019-2020

The Chairman asked for nominations for the Committee noting that the Committee has a mandate to

in the world. Also, that the Association could have a central committee having as its primary

membership the chairpersons of the local branches.

Tom Fraser was nominated and elected together with the existing committee who were re-elected.

There were no new nominations for the office bearers who were also re-elected.
