Choma Chat
The Choma
Polocrosse Tournament was held at the beginning of May and was
probably the best ever. Over 80 players and some very exciting
games. But where were all the Choma spectators?! Conspicuous by
their absence.
So.........this
is advance notice - Please make a note in your diaries for August 25th,
26th and 27th when Choma is hosting the biggest event of it's
history - the Zimbabwe/Zambia International Tournament, now known as
"The Zim Zam". It is the third annual event of its kind, first
held in Lusaka in 2004. It is held alternately in the two
countries and with Zambia's turn this year, Choma is honoured to be
hosting it. It is, of course an international tournament and our
Choma players have to work hard to be selected for the National
Team. However, last year, four adults and two children from Choma
Polox Club were selected which is a proud achievement for the
smallest Club in the country.
So, brush up on
your National Anthem, come see the two countries bring in their
respective flags and get ready to watch some seriously exhilarating
polocrosse. AND cheer loudly for Zambia. There is some debate as
to whether a cheer leading group should be formed. If anyone out
there is keen to hold auditions and do some training, then let's go
for it! Also will the horses stand for it?!
Wow, isn't the
post office area just so nice now with the new road and not just
there, but elsewhere in Choma. And no busses, thank you to the
Council.
The Choma Cricket
Club are about to set forth on their first match of the season with
Lusaka South. The first of many we hope, watch for the result in
next issue (or not)! If you feel you are an untapped talent or just
want the exercise, contact Richard Duckett on 220107 for details on
practice etc.
With the rains
gone, tennis is now once again on the menu at the Sports Club.
Wednesdays is Club afternoon for tennis, squash, cricket and arm
aerobics (sp) in the Bar. The preceding weekend's fishing exploits
are usually discussed then as well.
Talking about
fishing don't forget Chibila Camp at Itezhi Tezhi for a weekend
getaway, even better, a LONG weekend or, as some folks do, book the
camp for a week and get a discount. Bookings through Tony on 097
794-036. As this is a Wildlife Members Only Camp make sure your
subs are updated, also through Tony.
For those of you
who feel the need to lose weight there is a "Way Less" group twice a
week, Tuesday mornings at Caroline Green and Thursday afternoon at
Fiona Marx. There is advice on nutrition, fitness and exercise
(combined with eating chocolate?) For more details contact
Caroline Green on 097 837-151.
Over and out!
