When an event of this scale takes place, words often fall short in trying to capture the depth of our gratitude.
From ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ผ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, who immediately saw the value in the occasion and came onboard as main sponsor, to ๐ข๐ฉ๐, who tirelessly drove trailer after trailer to provide the perimetre fencing around our rugby field and ๐๐ผรซ๐ฟ ๐ฉ๐ผ๐น๐ธ๐๐ธ๐ผ๐ผ๐น, who so generously allowed us the use of their spectator stands โ we are humbled.
A heartfelt thank you also goes to ๐๐ฆ๐จ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐น for supplying skips and rubbish bins, to ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ป ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ for sponsoring the special treats enjoyed by our junior teams, to our ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ and ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ who manned the gates with a smile, to the ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ and ๐ข๐น๐ฑ ๐จ๐ป๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป who provided a steady stream of encouragement throughout and to our ๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐น๐ฎ๐ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ for ensuring everything ran smoothly and safely.
Behind the scenes, our ๐ด๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ณ once again showed their pride and dedication in preparing our grounds so beautifully, while our ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ stood by our learners every step of the way. To the ๐บ๐ผ๐บ๐ who quietly baked, arranged flowers and hosted, the ๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ณ who managed the endless administration and the ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ of both Union High School, Graaff-Reinet and Union Preparatory School, Graaff-Reinet who gave their constant encouragement – we are deeply thankful.
