NEWS & PLANNED EVENTS

West Rand District AGM 2025 Old Bills Lunch – 16 August 2025 (Hosted by Warrrior)

On 16 Aug, West Rand District, having confirmed that their passports were in order, ventured from their normal comfort zone at Cottesloe Cottages and into the unknow jungle of Krugersdorp.

Arriving after a very arduous trek, they quickly rehydrated and whizzed off to the hall for their meeting. The regular formalities of the meeting quickly dispensed with and the torch (or is it shackles) handed over for the coming year, Moth Gush closed the meeting and dismissed the dugout to harmony (for those new to The Order, that means go eat as much as you can and wash it down with copious quantities of cold milo).

Little did the delegates know that the warriors had called on support to cover their flanks, and they were confronted on their arrival back at the Shellhole by a hoard of blue uniformed ladies. The MOTHWA, as always had rallied to the support of Warrior, and the hungry were fed by them.

Thank you District, give it your all, Warrior has your back.
