When an event of this scale takes place, words often fall short in trying to capture the depth of our gratitude.
From 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼 𝗣𝗲𝘁 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, who immediately saw the value in the occasion and came onboard as main sponsor, to 𝗢𝗩𝗞, who tirelessly drove trailer after trailer to provide the perimetre fencing around our rugby field and 𝗛𝗼ë𝗿 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝗸𝘀𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹, who so generously allowed us the use of their spectator stands – we are humbled.
A heartfelt thank you also goes to 𝗜𝗦𝗨 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗹 for supplying skips and rubbish bins, to 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘆 for sponsoring the special treats enjoyed by our junior teams, to our 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 and 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 who manned the gates with a smile, to the 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 and 𝗢𝗹𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 who provided a steady stream of encouragement throughout and to our 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗲𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 for ensuring everything ran smoothly and safely.
Behind the scenes, our 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳 once again showed their pride and dedication in preparing our grounds so beautifully, while our 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 stood by our learners every step of the way. To the 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝘀 who quietly baked, arranged flowers and hosted, the 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳 who managed the endless administration and the 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 of both Union High School, Graaff-Reinet and Union Preparatory School, Graaff-Reinet who gave their constant encouragement – we are deeply thankful.
