Cape Buccaneers Rugby Club

I played for the Cape Buccaneers in 1968/9. Do we still have a club tie? If so how do I buy one?

What a fantastic season for Hammies congratulations to all involved it?s about time an open club did the business. It was such a pity I could not see the games
I even spoke to a satellite engineer about retuning my receiver to pick up the game.

Very nice site!

Thank you David.......Ronald Coe

Lovely surprise to read about the club on the Internet, and having been absent from Cape Town for many years. I did not realise the club was still going strong.
Congratulations to all the members, past and present who have kept the Buccaneers flourishing.
I would be most grateful if any of the older members have news of three friends of mine who I played rugby and cricket with, for the Buccaneers those many years ago.
Ray Franks, a very strong 6'2" hard running centre, Bill Francis, a lock, and Peter Mann, loose forward and anywhere else.
I would be very grateful if anyone has news of them.
It was very sad to read of the passing of Malcom Prosser, a very old friend of my wife and I.
Thank you
Ronald Coe

John Ashfield: I have found the email address for Owie Ellis. It is owie.ellis@stuartolson.com.

Give him my regards when you contact him. Keep well, I am enjoying a real Palm Springs summer at 108 degrees, a little toasty to say the least! My daughter Jennifer is off work today as her boss is at the Michael Jackson memorial-what a typical day in Southern California!!!!! L.A will be a nightmare.

The Camps Bay Floppies Charity show last night was a blast. I hope that we managed to raise a good deal of funds. Thanks for supporting this event guys.

Hey there John, I called Owie some months ago as Alan Keylock had tracked him down in Canada and passed me his number. I did ask him if we were going out to wreck any bars, start fights with poofy Frenchmen, or generally create havoc. He hadn't a clue who I was, or maybe he knew and didn't want to remember! We then decided that we were both old and incapable of anything other than hot coco and an early night and that the stories of Cape Town days were indeed not to be shared with the younger generation! I do keep in erractic contact with Helen de Klerk, remember she was Owies girlfriend and my daughter met her in Cape Town a couple of years ago and hence the picture of you, me, Owie and Hulsey on the ship before Owie and I left for South America.

I think that I have his contact information at work, and will forward it to you. Keep well, let me know how the family is these days. My oldest has just got a job with the African Investment Fund out of Beverly Hills and looks like she will be travelling to Mozambique 4 times a year-lucky blighter, I've volunteered to carry her bags!

Mr Towers!
How the hell are you? I won't be in Cape Town when you're there,unfortunately. I'm trying to get to the 2nd and 3rd tests. I'll certainly buy you a pint or two anytime. Although don't you still owe me a drink from running me out in 1989 against Enniskillen????

Deano,
Good to hear from you mate. Guess Who!! I am not sure fond memories is the phrase. I still speak to Fletch on a regular basis....well when he wants something!! Still lives up North. Bset place for him really. Math lives in rugby and works as a prison officer, Fuzzy in Cardiff and works in the University and I am job like you. Funny old world mate.

Keep in Touch, Gregster

I remember you three Welsh lads. You lived at the end of Sea Point Main Road and spent your days playing a porn version of Guess Who!!!!
When I got back to the UK I incorporated it into the Police Anti-Terrorist Selection Course. It worked a treat!!
Do you still hear from Fletch?
Cheers.
Deano.
