Tour Communication Number 16 – Final Tour Fee Amount

Managers please inform your players and parents.

The final tour fee amount has been set at R3490.00 and must please be paid asap if parents have not done so allready.

Parents who have paid in R4000 will be refunded within two weeks after the tournament via cheque. The procurement of provincial water polo caps will only be implemented from 2009 when parents do not need to fork out for travel and accommodation and the tour fee will significantly be reduced.

We are also planning to host the Western Province team in 2009 for a reciprocal hosting when the tournament is held in Cape Town again. The savings on accommodation and meals will be significant and the aim is to, in years to come, significantly lessen the parents contribution for the cost of the tour.

Due to a very positive reaction to the requests for sponsorship, and the removal of a couple of kit items that were nice to have’s as opposed to essential, such as sandals and water polo caps, we have arrived at an amount that would be deemed to be more palatable for cash strapped parents. 50% of the combined monies collected from the raffle will also be added to the refund after the tour, unless parents request for the monies to be donated back into the water polo foundation.

A note that only interest from monies donated to the foundation may be used by GSWP and that donations will effectively contribute to GSWP water polo for life.

Yours in polo
Marius Buys
