Stay hydrated at all times, but only water and non alcoholic drink.
With the upcoming festive season around the corner, you will either be going home or taking a well-deserved vacation. To arrive at your given destination, road transport will be required at some stage of your journey.

Here is a reminder of the basic road rules:

1. Focus on the road and ditch the cellphone – it is illegal to use your cellphone while driving
2. Rather stay hydrated with water and non-alcoholic drinks, because drinking and driving is prohibited
3. Keep to the speed limit. Speed kills
4. Whether you are a driver or passenger, make sure that you update friends and family about your whereabouts
5. Take frequent breaks to refresh. Fatigue is dangerous.

Travel safely and happy holidays!

The UFS Chess Club recently arranged the first chess tournament. Some 20 students took part in the tournament. According to Karin Venter of KovsieSport, the tournament was arranged to see whether students were interested in the game, and also to collect funds for chess boards and chess pieces. Students had to pay R50 to participate in the tournament.

The winners of the tournament were Pierre Venter (first), Okkert Louw (second) and Bongani Nhlapo (third).

“Interest was also high among residence students for residence league chess,” said Karin. The league will be launched in the next two to three weeks.

There is definitely a future for chess at the university,” said Karin.
