The first golf day hosted by the 61 Mech Battalion Group Veterans Association on Thursday, 31 May 2012 at the State Mines Golf Club

61 Mech Battalion Group, one of the finest fighting units in South Africa’s military history, was founded in 1979 and existed for 27 years until it was disbanded in 2005. More than 780 of the veterans who served with this unit during those years already joined the 61 Mech Veterans Association, which is also a member of the Council of Military Veterans’ Organization of South Africa, and the association is actively involved in preserving the military heritage of this unique unit.

You are hereby invited to support the first golf day in Gauteng hosted by the East Rand combat team of the 61 Mech Veterans Association at the State Mines golf club.

The purpose of this golf day is to raise funds for the 61 MVA Museum project, which has already established a dedicated room at the Ditsong National Museum of Military History in Saxonwold, Johannesburg, as well as for our Veterans Outreach Program designed to assist our veterans who might be in need of physical, emotional or financial support.

We are in the process of getting registered as a Public Benefit Organization, which we expect to be finalized soon, but in the meantime have to rely on the subscription fees of our veterans and supporters together with whatever support we receive from the public.

You are welcome to participate in this golf day in one or more of the following ways:

1. Sponsorship of a Tee or Green — R500
2. Entering a four ball — R1500. This includes green fees and half way house.
3. Sponsor watering holes — golfers get very thirsty
4. Donating prizes and/or cash. (No donation too small)
5. Sponsor caps, goodie bags, half way house, golf balls etc.

All sponsors will be publicly acknowledged in our program on the day and at the prize giving ceremony. Sponsors of holes, tee-boxes, greens and prizes will also be able to display banners and hand out marketing material on the day.

Thank you for considering our invitation. We look forward to your participation and hope this will establish a mutually beneficial relationship.

Please contact jaco@thrifty.co.za if you want to assist or enter a four ball
