 NewsBullpenChairman's Chirp 
 
 IRT 2011
 The 2011 IRT took place on the 4th to the 8th October 2011. The tournament was held in Pretoria at The Oval in Thaba Tshwane (previously known as Voortrekkerhoogte). Gauteng Masters Baseball Association sent in an Elite side, two social sides and a junior side. This year was the first year that the tournament included a Vets section, however, Gauteng did not have a team in this section.
 
 Our chairman has summarised some of the main administrative issues we had to deal with leading up to and during the tournament as well as some other pertinent pieces of information in his latest bullpen (89) which has been posted on the web site
 
 There has also been a change made to our constitution - please review and familiarise yourself with the changes as they pertain to the blacklisting of players who have not paid subs at Gauteng Baseball Federation level. This means that if you have not paid your Masters subs, you will not be able to play for any Gauteng team, and, by extension, any other team in South Africa.
 
 The awards function has been tentatively scheduled for Saturday the 26th November at Marks Park in the Pavilion. It includes a meal for paid up members, but if you would like to take a family member or two, they will be charged R130.00 (children under 12 get in for free). Please email the number of people attending to gautengmasters@gmail.com
