Pretoria Country Club - Young Members

The PCC Young Members Commitee has the pleasure of launching a new series of events where captains of industry are linked up with its valued members.

The “link-up” series will see prominent leaders from a variety of industries share their stories with our members.

The March link-up session has PCC member Louis vd Watt, CEO of Atterbury Group, speaking about his journey as a seasoned property man and share some of his insights as to what defines success in the property development and investment industry.

The format of these evenings will be informal and conversational. For more info on becoming a member of the PCC Young Members please contact [email protected]

A mix of the old school & the new school. Hickory clubs some of which were nearing one hundred years old, were distributed to members to enjoy a three-hole hickory challenge. Members return to the root of old & came dressed in their best hickory apparel to compete for the prize of best dressed. As night approached, The Firefly Golf Company lit up the greens with luminescent lights in preparation for a six-hole night golf challenge. luminescent golf balls & wearables were distributed to members to undoubtedly luminate the golf course.

YMC Thursday Bowls

Good Morning Business Bowlers,

We finished our first Business Bowls League on a high last week and I would again like to thank everyone of you, and your participating organizations, for making this an extremely successful project for the Bowls Section of the Pretoria Country Club.

Last night we merged the sections, and were pleased to announce our winners – Fourie Fismer Inc.
Well done guys, you played a professional game of bowls and your team spirit was infectious!

The upset last week was the runner-up team of Mhoba Rum Distillery. Well played guys in taking 5 points in the final!

In third position was KWPcreate, only ½ point behind the second team. Well done guys!

It has been a tremendous experience to see first-time bowlers transform into near-professional bowlers in 7 weeks, and for this I would like to thank our coaches for their dedicated time to this project. Thank you Rainer, Corné, John P, Axel, Arthur and George. Thank you once again to Harriet for the delicious catering and Johan for handling the bar and finances so efficiently.

What was this project all about?
We wanted to make younger people aware of this awesome game of bowls, and at the same time introduce you to the fun and fellowship of the Pretoria Country Club. Secondly, we wanted to raise money for those who are not as privileged as we are; our social welfare project being the New Hope School, to whom we were able to donate R12,000 from this project. Thanks to everyone of you who made this possible.

Where to from here?
As George mentioned last last, you are all invited to join us at our Social Bowls on Tuesday evenings for “tabs-in” bowls, where we will have a rink or two available for you. Come and join us, meet the other members, and get a feel for life at PCC Bowls! Should this prove to be successful, the committee will consider opening Thursday nights in summer to Business Bowls.

Thank you once again for being a tremendous crowd and I personally look forward to seeing you again at the club and definitely at Business Bowls 2019. There are already 3 other companies waiting to join us in 2019, but the priority will go to this year’s participants.

I wish you all a truly Blessed Christmas season. Drive carefully.
