Suns to tackle AGM
All executive positions will be declared vacant when the Central Cape Suns hold an annual general meeting next month.

The meeting will be held in the Albatross Bay Resort conference room from 6pm on 8 October, and is open to anyone interested in putting their hand up to help with the continuing growth of the Suns.
