There
was swashbuckling galore on Friday May 25th as pirates stormed the
bridge and took to the streets of Marlow raising funds for Harry & the
Youth Sport Trust. Yes It was National Pirate Day in Marlow.
Pirates
from FST were joined by salty sea dogs from Softcat in Marlow & Manchester
– an extract from their newsletter reads…
Grilled grub for me hearties
One highlight o’ this special day be Cap’n Martin Hellawell’s barbecue. Another
be a competition for the best-dressed pirate. Aaarrr!
Pieces of eight for a good cause
All employees who remember to dress as pirates will be donatin’ £2 o’ their swag to the Harry Mills Charity. Any poxed blaggard who forgets to dress up will be donatin’ £5 o’ booty instead.

(Softcat
also donated £500 of Capital Bonds to Harry’s Lunch)
Children
from Spinfield and Bisham Schools also enthusiastically joined in the fun
whilst the Slug & Lettuce held a pirate quiz and Renaissance Hair Salon
& the Euro-Japanese Exchange Foundation held cake sales. A total of £3663
was raised.
Pirate Day
was the brainchild of Mark Howard at FST – the Group and has been raising funds
for charity for the past 4 years.
