A faulty USB Charger for Mobile phones, Laptops etc. Can kill you !

Recently, April 2014, a young mother was killed listening to her mobile phone whilst it was connected to a charger and her laptop. The charger was connected to the mains.

This charger did not have proof of "Certified Safe" label as is required in most countries.

Scary stuff. This is not the first fatality of this nature.  To be safe it would be wise to not use a mobile phone or laptop whilst it is connected via a charger to a mains plug.

Farewell to Brenda Langton

This has been our last chance to say farewell to Brenda Langton from BCHA, who is returning to the UK for good, in mid July. This is especially poignant, because members from ANZA and the Cowies Hills LIONS, with which Brenda has had a close relationship, as well as the New Germany Bowling Club, where her husband Dave played bowls in the last two years of his life.

Tongue in Cheek - Are Trains male or female?

 TRAINS: Definitely male... because they always use the same old lines for picking up people.

More general images appear on the "RECENT EVENT PICTURES" page.

ANZAC DAY vs SHARKS RUGBY

Read carefully the following message from Dave Brosnihan on how to avoid any risk of having to pay for parking!

"Hi Guys,

We have a problem?

The Sharks game is at the same time and the metro Police are blocking a lot of the roads  for tomorrow service at NMR.

 NMR sell the parking to all people to go to Rugby.

The best route is to go up north M4  from Argyle road to the slip road to Country Club and NMR  and I will be at the gate to let you through at no charge , then go left and then right and  go and park at  the back of NMR Buildings  .

I have organised that if you have to come from the north you can come down NMR ( now another name?) from the Umgeni side and go down the  cycle marked area and  say you are going to the ANZAC Day service,> the police will let you through to go to the turn to  the left to NMR/Country Club ( Natal Mounted Rifles) and then right.

Moths:- please advise Tony Munich

Isabel:- Please advise Ross Hole

Debbie:-Please advise Gabriel

Bev Smith:-Please advise Rick Andriés
