Welkom-swemmers is genoodsaak om hul eie gala in Bloemfontein aan te bied omdat die Matjhabeng-munisipaliteit hulle absoluut in die steek gelaat het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Welkom-swembad staan leeg, en toe Welkom-swemklubs aangebied het om die instandhouding oor te neem, is hulle ingelig dat hulle dan ook die agterstallige skuld van die swembad, wat miljoene rande beloop, sal moet erf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cD\u00edt is nie vir ons \u2019n moontlikheid nie. Maar ons het toe besluit om saam te staan, en ons kon vir die eerste keer in ons plaaslike swemgeskiedenis \u2019n gala in Bloemfontein aanbied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie twee swemklubs, Welkom Aquatics en Welkom Super Seals, het saam ingespring om hierdie droom vir hul swemmers waar te maak,\u201d s\u00ea Jules Laubscher, een van die Welkom-swemouers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle het op 3 en 4 November saam met die Heidedal Swemklub by Bloemfontein se stadion \u2019n groot swemgala gehou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVir so \u2019n gebeurtenis om plaas te vind, beloop kostes tussen R30 000 en R50 000, en die klubs het besef hulle kort hulp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOuers het ingespring en na die gemeenskap uitgereik,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea sonder versuim, en met God se genade, het besighede die swemmers geborg en ook skenkings gedoen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die gala het goed verloop en 11 klubs het deelgeneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNiks daarvan sou moontlik kon wees sonder al die borge nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAan ieder en elk wat die dag moontlik en spesiaal gemaak het, wil ons net uit ons hart baie dankie s\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie ouers wat betrokke is by hierdie twee klubs, staan terug vir niks,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Welkom-swemmers het nie met le\u00eb hande huis toe gekom nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle het altesaam 101 topdrie-plekke behaal, en die top swemmers, Jordan Wiesner (junior victor ludorum), Noa Mansill (junior victrix ludorum), Tristan Venter (senior victor ludorum) en Meredith O\u2019Tool (senior victrix ludorum), is ook almal van Welkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die afrigters is Christo Jansen van Welkom Aquatics en Corinne Mansill van Welkom Super Seals. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
