Dear Sir/Madam
After a successful SA Development Summer Games in Pretoria we think all of us are motivated for the next events that await us in the rest of 2010.
1. SA DEVELOPMENT GAMES ~ Pretoria
Thank you very much to Gauteng and especially Tshwane Metro that organized the 8th SA Summer Games on behalf of SASA-II. We selected a Cricket shadow team for 2011 Tri Nations Series, Swimming teams for the Intellectually Impaired and swimmers with Down Syndrome and a Table Tennis shadow team.
We believe the best athletes and the best teams won – congratulations to all of you!
2. SA DEVELOPMENT ELITE GAMES
We wish KZNA all the best with their arrangements for the above Games that will take place in Richards Bay from 16 – 23 October 2010.
The participating codes include: Athletics, Basketball, Cross Country, Football for junior teams, Futsal for senior teams, Hocker, Indoor Rowing and Netball.
Please do your preparation in time.

9. ROWING
As you may know, Water Rowing will be one of the codes in the program for the II’s at the Paralympics. Rowing SA is very excited about this and they are willing to assist SASA-II with the preparations, selections and training of the athletes.
We need to make contact with the Rowing Association in our Provinces and help them to identify possible rowers.
Please keep Fikile Diko informed about developments in Provinces.
Indoor rowing will be part of the SA Development Elite Games. If possible, we will select a team that will represent SA at the World Indoor Rowing Championships late this year.
10. POOL
Benji Poho was appointed acting pool convener. All the best to Benji and we hope pool will be kicking off very soon.
We applied to Lotto for pool tables but are still waiting to hear if it was approved. In the mean time we need to identify pool players and also get involved in the Provincial mainstream clubs.
