GSWP 89 – Annual Schools Affiliation Fee

Dear All;

Please note that as of the new water polo season schools will be required to pay on 1 September of every year an annual affiliation fee into their provincial bodies of R500 per school.

Permission for said payment was obtained in 2008 through Gauteng Aquatics and was proposed through the Water Polo Board of control.

For some time the regions executive officers have been required to fund cellular calls, transport, travel, cost of internet, stationary etc. through their own personal funding, use of school office equipment or as a cost item on tour players accounts.

The aim is to stop this unsustainable and bad business practice and align with the how schools rugby and cricket administration is funded.

The funds will be freely available to the regional chairperson but he will have to account for the use of the funds at the annual AGM.

Yours in polo
Mr. Marius Buys
Chairperson
