Contact details to follow shortly. The Discipline Associations will become technical committees but their final roles will be finalised with time. In the interim the decision was made that the current elected officials of the Discipline Associations will proceed to act as the various representatives of the technical committees at Regional, Provincial and National level and will still ensure that the various sporting codes’ competitions still proceed as they are supposed to. The elections are over and we now have the huge task of keeping the sport running smoothly across all the disciplines as well as making sure that a structure is put in place which is more user-friendly and accessible for all members. Please approach your regional committee if you need assistance or have problems, if assistance is not received within a satisfactory period, please approach your provincial committee. Again if assistance is not received the next step is National. SASCOC has requested that you do not communicate with them or the Sports Councils except through the SAEF. The same goes for the FEI. As the changes to improve our sport is gradually introduced, we will keep you informed. Kind Regards Dianne Smith SAEF Gauteng President
