ANZA Potjie Pot Competition at the Beachwood Mangroves Swamps, KZN Nature Conservation on 18th August.

The Australian and New Zealand Association (A.N.Z.A.) held their annual Potjie pot competition on Sunday at the Beachwood Mangrove Swamps, Umgeni River Mouth for the 19^th year in succession.

It was once again a  glorious day weather wise with lots of comradeship between the teams who contested this well run event. The judges were Steven Crawford (The chief of the Boutique Hotel on the Square) and Scott Shepeard .

The winning team was “The Formidable Four”; Allan and Cheryl Van Dyk, Dave and Eleanor Brosnihan; who cooked a Red Thai Curry of Prawns and Chicken. 

Runners up were Charlie Robinson and Stewart McDonald, Team “Pommie Potjie Perfektors” with an Ox Tongue in white wine sauce. This team represented The British Cultural and Heritage Association.

The enormous Raffle was won by Dominique Thidault. A dinner for two which includes a special wine tasting evening at the Square Boutique Hotel on the 29^th August was won By Lesley Cogan.

All monies raised will go to ANZA 2013 annual charity award.

This was a most enjoyable day, with, according to the judges, very little points separating the teams who participated

Thanks

Yours sincerely,

Eleanor Brosnihan

Chairman A.N.Z.A

Is there any sovereign state landlocked within the boundaries of Australia?  I would guess that the popular answer would be NO.

If there actually is such a state and citizens from that sovereign state are living in KZN then would they be eligible as members of ANZA?

Answers to the above queries might have an answer provided somewhere in the following reference: PHR

The next function will be ANZAC Day whereby in true ANZA tradition we honour those who died in battle at Gallipoli during World War I.

ANZAC Day as an extract from the Wikipedia website follows. (ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzac_Day)

"Anzac Day marks the anniversary of the first campaign that led to major casualties for Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. The acronym ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, whose soldiers were known as Anzacs. Anzac Day remains one of the most important national occasions of both Australia and New Zealand,[3] a rare instance of two sovereign countries not only sharing the same remembrance day, but making reference to both countries in its name. When war broke out in 1914, Australia and New Zealand had been dominions of the British Empire for thirteen and seven years respectively.
Gallipoli campaign

In 1915, Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of an Allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli Peninsula, according to a plan by Winston Churchill to open the way to the Black Sea for the Allied navies. The objective was to capture Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, which was an ally of Germany during the war. The ANZAC force landed at Gallipoli on 25 April, meeting fierce resistance from the Ottoman Army commanded by Mustafa Kemal (later known as Atatürk).
