WINELANDS CLASSIC: Members day 13/10/10

This year we were again part of the annual Winelands Classic held at the Paarl Golf Club.
During the week we had a traveldesk where we could handle any enquiries on site. On
13 October we had our own Boland Travel Classic. It took a lot of hard work and planning, but it was well worth it.

In order to get everything done our day started very early. Relais Hotels and us had a wethole where we served A-M-A-Z-I-N-G cocktails. We also ran a putting competition with great prizes. All in all it was a beautiful day and the 'Seychelles' theme worked out perfectly!!

We invited 3, 4 balls for the day and everyone seem to have enjoyed:



James Elkington, Avril Stassen, Izak Strauss, Hendrik Coetzee



Johan Snyman, Hennie le Roux, Johan Wessels, Pieter Stofberg

The team decided that the evening function should be something spectacular and a lot of fun! We all got dressed up as air hostesses for the evening on flight BT1984. We demonstrated the inflight safety procedures.... with our own special flair and fun! We and our guests had a great time!

Air hostesses....pretty in PINK!



The safety procedures as explained here by Anneke Kriek. Your lifevest , and of course oxygen in liquid form....!!


We decided that we instead of spending money on little gifts for all our guests attending the evening function that we would rather give something back to the community. A donation was made to the Sunflower fund, a non-governmental, non-profit organisation helping all South Africans diagnosed with leukaemia and other life-threatening blood disorders. Each guest received a bandana which served as their head belt (safety belt). National bandana day was on Tuesday 12 October but we decided that there is no reason why we could not have National Bandana Evening on 13 October - all our guests joined in.

We met a lot of wonderful and interesting people this week, made lots of new friends and we look forward to again host this event in 2011. We thank everybody for their contribution in making this event a great success!
