摘要

An extremely well regarded gentleman in irrigation, a SABI founder member and a past SABI president, Rod Mountain, recently received the ultimate SABI accolade of the SABI Gold Medal at the recent SABI Congress 201 3The SABI Gold Medal, says SABI general manager Riana Lombard, is awarded for outstanding service and dedication to SABI: it is the organisation's ultimate accolade and expression of gratitude to a SABI member.Rod says the moment took him totally by surprise, and, with characteristic understated wit, he says he "had to run a bit of an obstacle course" to get to the podium and to MC Felix Reinders, to receive his medal, (this due to the gala dinner's Arabian nights theme and the gathering thus randomly seated on cushions on the floor of the banquet hall).
