By this time, the San Marina Recreational Club’s financials should have been on a firm footing; what with Comrade Julius … I mean Leon … suing everyone left right and centre for arrear subs, and Comrade Jul … I mean Leon does say that “the Club financials has improved” in his February 2009 Newsletter.
So why then is the Club CLOSED???
According to Leon, they cannot keep up with the “constant vandalism” apparently committed by non-members - but a little birdie told me that it may just be that the finances are a bit depleted by the legal costs incurred by Leon in pursuing court cases against members who have chosen to defend themselves.
Now, it is by no means cut-and-dried that the Club will be able to recoup the monies spent in this way, as, as explained earlier in this website, at least some of those who have been sued may just have a valid case.
I am however a bit confused about the February 2009 Newsletter displayed on the San Marina Recreational Club’s website … despite the fact that the CLUB IS CLOSED, (during the hottest time of the year), people are warned by the Committee to: “Remember if you do not have an ID or your subs are in arrears; please do not come to the club. You will be asked to leave the premises and it will be quite uncomfortable for all.” Seems to me that, if you want a swim on a hot day like today, you are going to be uncomfortable regardless of whether you have paid your subs or have an ID

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackAg, never fear when Leon’s near. His title deed says that he owns the Club so I’m sure he’ll make good the losses.
Hey Leon be a nice guy and buy a new creepy so the kids can swim.
Oh Dear. And now the MDGA and San Marina Recreational Club’s family fun day on the 28 March 2009 at Uitsig park has been cancelled until further notice. I guess that Leon still has not managed to get the creepy fixed
JT I have not heard of you for a while. How was the holiday at that quiet white walled place? You know that one that is so padded that you do not hurt yourself.
Comrade Julies aka me just came from a anger management holiday too. I was healed until I saw this cr@p again. I will need to book myself in again. All this stress I am enduring is not good for the soul.
Comrade Julies says come and see me personally so that we can discuss all issues you might have.
For those paid up members who received keys and keep the club closed THANK YOU. We do not want disgruntle unpaid members to enjoy the facilities which you pay with your hard earned money.
You are more than welcome in Julius’s domain if you are paid up and have that nice access card that you where issued with.
Do not worry about those disgruntle unpaid members. Comrade Julius will make sure that they are on my hit list for this weeks meeting with the attorneys. I will get our money that is due to us.
Viva to democracy. Viva to the power of persuasion.
PS. Please do not forget to vote at the upcomming AGM / election.
Leon, you’re scary.
Maybe Comrade Julies (that’s the Cape Flats version of Julius) can tell us if ALL paid up members were given keys to “his” domain, and if not, how many PAID UP members are still LOCKED OUT?
ALL paid up members are given keys.
NONE
OK. Let’s say that there are around 300 homes in San Marina. You claim that about 80% of them are paid up members (see Hunting Season is Open). Are you telling us that you had around 240 keys cut for the club???
No. Only made for those who requested/wanted it.
We are 268 members. 80% of it is 215.Actaul amount is 214.4.
I will make 215 keys if needed.
Not all paid up members wants access though during the week as they work till late. The feedback I received so far is that paid up members want the club to be locked during the week. Less vandalism from non members.
Only discruntle unpaid members wants access during the week. They want to enjoy the facility while no one is there to watch them enjoy it and not pay for that privilige. Freeriders.
Come and see me if you need a key. I have spare ones.
So how many keys are floating about at the moment?
hey leon i borrowed a key the other day to knock a few balls about. pool needs a bit of a clean. next time i borrow the key i’ll run off a few copies…
p.s. see you at the club
Author - enough keys was made. All on record for the day I leave.
Yes Anita see you at the club. Just don’t take the risk of coming alone though. Bring JT with.
Witness to the fact that I aka Julius am a lover and not a fighter.
Author I nearly forgot about you. You are also welcome to come down and smack some balls around. Just bring your own. Unfortunetly I have no spare ones to lend out.
P.S. Julies likes playing golf though. Hitting a ball and dropping it into a small hole is much more soothing. Less stressfull on the body too.
Hi Leon.
Didn’t know you had the hots for me. Sorry though, not my cup of tea
hey leon what punishment do you mete out for members who lend their keys? i reckon by the time you leave there will be so many keys floating around the members will be able to punish you for being so negligent.
p.s. as for that game you enjoy it’s called putt-putt (or were you thinking of marbles?)
