Mike Pilgrim

It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of South African Miniature Cannon Club Member Mike Pilgrim.  Mike passed this morning from cardiac arrest.

Mike introduced me to cannon shooting here in South Africa.  In the 8 all to short months I have known Mike he become a very dear friend, I will miss him.

Go with God my friend.
