THE CAPTAIN'S LOG

John Constance

​

Argh....

Only a small field of 13 [including a prospect] due to the next day Cutlass Challenge.  

The year is fast coming to an end so it would be good to see big turn-outs over the last couple of weeks before we get into the silly season.

Cutlass Challenge – We lost! It came down to a countback after all the matches won/drawn were equal – it was decided on the number of holes won overall, 72 Western Pirates to 69 Freo Pirates – we missed it by that much! Great effort to everyone who played – it was another great battle with those scurvy dogs from up North. We should acknowledge our Donald Wilson for organising the Freo Pirates – it takes a lot of work. Well done Donald.

To update:

Our Wind-Up/Presentation night 13th Dec – fast approaching – Pirate theme – see JC with your names and money.

Pirates Presentation Dinner & Windup: Sunday 13th Dec from 6pm – Only 2 weeks away – your windup this year is being held at Limones Restaurant Bicton – 1 Point Walter Road – we have the whole venue to ourselves with permission from the owners to make as much noise as we like and stay as long as we like. This is a great venue fully licenced with very good food and drink [no BYO] – the club is generously subsidising the costs and will also be putting money on the bar – cost to all is only $40 p/p that’s for members and partners, and any guests. We would like to see up to 60 attend so feel free to invite family/friends - $40 is a great deal for quality food and beers and wines not to mention your few drinks will be on the club. The club band ‘Mutiny’ will come out of retirement. There will also be a Lucky Door Raffle for great prizes as well. Everyone gets a ticket. So lock in the date and organise your partner/family to come along – JC will be taking names and money for this event from hereon.
