PIRATES IS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE WITH VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE
Pirates Club is a very special Club and it is a privilege to work with so many fantastic people. Over the last week we have been blown away by the generosity and interest in Pirates. I would like to thank these special members for their help:
- Les Lambert for organising for the fields to be cut for the Club before we hosted the Vodacom Cup game – we received so many compliments on how good the Club was looking.
- Colin Barry for the fantastic new floodlights – wow guys we look like Ellis Park now. This was a mammoth job and there is no cost to the Club. Thank you CB your contribution is invaluable to the Club
- Max Holding for organising a printer for the Club at no cost – and he spent the whole afternoon installing it and making sure we were all printing again. This is such a saving to the Club and we are most grateful
- Steve Carlton for sorting out the rugby posts by making sure they were all straight and in the correct position. When Steve was precariously hanging from a ladder last Friday I challenged the Lions players who practising their kicking that if they could hit him they could get free beers after the game – none of them could do it so the beers and Steve were safe J
