Fun Run

                                                   Run it ...Jog it…Walk it…Enjoy it!

 The long awaited BBEAG organised fun run is finally confirmed. Join “BBEAG Run for Education 5/10km Fun Run” which will be held on Saturday, 05 June 2010.

We are looking to attract more than 300 runners to come and run for education. The Fun Run begins at 7:00AM, but for registration purposes participants should arrive at 6:30AM. The Fun Run starts at the corner Chris Hani drive and Grobler Street (behind the main Bela-Bela Municipality Buildings).

 As part of our fundraising efforts for the bursary scheme, food and drinks will be sold. Cars will also be washed by some of our members (including female BBEAG ladies in leotards) for a fee of R30!

Registration fee is as follows

R40 per person (adults, athletics clubs) R10 per person (Under 18s, the unemployed & pensioners)

R200 Corporate members

Please note: MoFAYA will be burning the decks with some warm sounds to take the chill away. We will also be wishing Bafana-Bafana good luck before their first match against Mejico (11 June 2010).

Chissa!

Tlitltltl [laughter of the week]

Q: What does every woman call an intelligent, attractive, caring, loving and sensitive man? 

A: A dream

After 20-years of marriage the wife starts complaining to her husband that he does not love her anymore and she begs him to seek advice from the local parish priest.

Obligingly he went, afterwards he arrives home, lifts her off her feet and carries her from one room to the other. Surprised she exclaims oh! How much you love me so? What did the priest tell you?

‘Well, he told me to carry my burden and that is you!’
