Pirates Cricket are hosting a lunch at the Club on Thursday 13th March. Please can everyone make every effort to attend this lunch and support the
Club.
Below are the details of the lunch
PIRATES ROAD RUNNING – CLEANED THE PAVEMENT
Pirates Road Running did the work of the Council a week or so ago by paying for the clean-up of the verge from the start of the time trial all the way through the bends to the Golf Course in order to make it safe for our runners. This is Council property but the verge had weeds so high that no one could run on it so in the interest of a safe run for our members the Road Running Section had it done and paid for it themselves. Well done Road Running!!!! Hopefully the Council can keep it clean in the future
