Good Afternoon Pirates Friends
Wow the first summer rains came in buckets yesterday so good to have some lovely rain. Pirates will now turn from brown to green almost overnight. Half the money at the Club Draw was won on Friday night. Alan Lamplough’s name was the first out and luckily for me he was not there as the second name out was mine. Wow I was so excited and thanks to all the members for the kind words to me after I won the money. The next draw will be R3 500.00 so see you there.
