Good Morning
It’s Friday – Yah J
We had the most amazing evening last Friday with the Quiz Evening – thanks to EVERYONE who supported it. If you could not make it this time don’t miss out next time we have one
Thanks to our members who participated in the Club Survey. We had more than 300 participants which is fantastic. Alyna is drawing the information for us and we will let everyone know as soon as possible what the results are.
Request Please
We are putting out a request to all members to find out if anyone has an old ipod or MP3 player that you or your children no longer use that you could donate to Pirates. There are many occasions at the Club where after a function like Beer Club and Quiz Night that some background music would be so good.
Thank you in advance if anyone can help us
