EXCITING EXCITING NEWS
In celebration of the Clubs upcoming 125 Birthday celebrations the Management Committee at Pirates has decided to DROP the membership subs to R1 250.00 for 2013. This is a fantastic gesture from our Committee so we need to use this to enroll more members next year.
The Club will be nice and festive this Saturday with the annual Potjiekos Competition on Saturday and the Springboks open their Castle Outbound Tour against Irelend. Promotions, give aways and lots of fun to be had at the Club.
TREE PROJECT WILL BE GETTING UNDERWAY NEXT WEEK
The response to the Tree Project at Pirates has been fantastic. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this project. Matthew has given us a programme of how this will be implemented and the trees should be planted in the next few weeks. Below is the list of members and friends who have supported this project – THNK YOU VERY MUCH. There are still a few trees left to purchase so if you are still keen please don’t delay. R100.00 per tree.
