Thanks so much to Glynis Mauldon, Shirley Buccholtz and Nads Robertson for your help on Saturday. Without you ladies the whole event would not have gone so smoothly. Thank you very much. We have only had compliments about the whole event and the fantastic party at Pirates afterwards. What a day at the Club.
