Good Afternoon

Happy New Year to everyone – here’s wishing you all a wonderful 2015.  I must admit that I am battling to wear shoes and meet deadlines after a wonderful holiday at the Coast.

We at Pirates are looking forward to a wonderful 2015 with many exciting events to look forward to not to mention the Cricket and Rugby World Cup so keep visiting our website www.piratesclub.co.za and like our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/piratessportsclub?ref=hl to keep up to date with all that is happening at the Club.

I would like to extend a huge thank you to Glynis Mauldon who kept the Club going while Jeanne and I were on leave – she was totally thrown into the deep end and was fantastic with keeping the Club going and making sure everything went smoothly.  Thanks so much Glynnie.  We are all back to the office so life is normal again!
