BRIEF HISTORY:
Following the formation of the second Nomad Club, Natal, Louis Immerman from
Cape Town badgered Mike Florance into letting him form a Club in the Mother City. With
45 Founder Members the Western Province Club was formed in 1965.
With three Nomads Clubs in existence it was only a matter of
time before a "National" Tournament was arranged and this took place
at Kyalami in 1966. The occasion was so successful and enjoyable that all
concerned vowed that it should become an annual event, which has been the case
ever since. The publicity generated by this and subsequent early Nationals was
of great importance to Nomads in that it made the formation of of new clubs so
much easier. In fact the staging of the first National Tournament must be
regarded as a major turning point in the history of the Club.
