Today is the 115th anniversary of the foundation of the Union of South Africa, a day which was celebrated as Dominion Day and Union Day until South Africa became a republic in 1961. Although what has happened to that once great country since the 1990s makes this date now a very sad occasion, we must still remember the achievements of its founding fathers in 1910 and use this memory to inspire us to work towards the country's re-birth.

The Springbok Club, in conjunction with the Patriotic Forum, held its annual Empire Day (which also happens to be Bermuda Day - hence one of the flags on display!) celebration meeting on Empire Day itself this year - 24th May. This turned out to be a most enjoyable and inspiring event. The meeting included two illustrated talks by two members who had recently visited Commonwealth countries in the Antipodes - Neil Pritchard-Meaker who recently spent 6 months in northern NSW, Australia, and Alan Williamson who toured New Zealand earlier this year. We are most grateful to both Neil and Alan for giving us all such informative and fascinating talks!

In April 2025 the Springbok Club held the third in their trilogy of events staged in order to celebrate the adventures and achievements of Frederick Courtney Selous, the eminent African explorer and big game hunter-turned-conservationist. This third phase consisted of a trip to the Natural History Museum in London where a memorial to Frederick Courtney Selous stands and many of the specimens which he brought back from Africa are housed. Pictured [top] is Mr. Gary Vincent, who researched the history of Selous and presented the three events, pointing out the memorial to some of the Springbok Club members and supporters present, and [below] Mr. Vincent and a member of the original White Rhino Club (one of the component organisations which merged to form the Springbok Club in 1996) standing alongside an appropriate taxidermied White Rhino, one of the specimens brought back by Selous.
