On Saturday 7th of May 2011 it was my pleasure to attend with my wife the tribute presented by the Pratten Park Magpies  to Mr Ben Fisher and Mr Jack Thompson.

Both of these men along with Bill Owens started the Pratten Park Magpies in 1986.

A good time was had by all.

Over 100 people attended the function which was held at the Wests Sports Club.
