PIRATES 5 BAR CHALLENGE
Each Section is encouraged to enter as many teams of 4 as possible for this Challenge (the teams can be mixed)
The challenge will start by running across the field up the ramp to the Pigeon House where the 1st drink is consumed – then on to the Old Bones where another drink will be consumed – then across to the Bowls Club for another drink – then to Tennis for another drink – back to the Main Bar for your 5th drink – 5 Bars on our property. But this is a double lap so you will need to do this again!!
The team that wins will be declared the biggest drinking section at Pirates (we will try to get a few prizes – any offers are always welcome
5 Bars at Pirates – which Section will be the champions???
I am an ex-member of the rugby section, in fact I was secretary for two years before moving back to the UK in the late 80’s. I visit Pirates every year or two when in SA, and would like to be kept up to date with what’s going on at the club. Could I therefore please be included for receipt of future newsletters.
Many thanks
