ASSOCIATIONS INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN SAIRAC – Johannesburg golf day a hit By Ilana Koegelenberg The annual SAIRAC Johannesburg centre’s golf day was held at Modderfontein Country Club on Thursday 16 March — a fun day on the course for all. T he South African Institute of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (SAIRAC) Johannesburg centre once again had a full field with 36 four-balls taking on the Modderfontein course. The weather held up nicely and it was a beautiful, albeit hot, day all around. The day was a huge success according to the local SAIRAC committee and the guys (and girls) had a lot of fun on the beautifully green course. The theme of the day was St Patrick’s Day (only one day early) and the course was more ‘green’ than usual thanks to those who got dressed up. The two drinking holes (TecsaReco and ACRA) in particular went all out with the decorations and lifting the spirits of weary players on the hot course. The Recam hole even had a mini leprechaun to add to the good luck. A lot of work went into pulling it all together and the experienced team of Mariet Pieterse and Darren Black were in charge of making the golf day happen from the Johannesburg committee’s side. The exciting day on the course was followed by an evening award ceremony and dinner. Thank you to the sponsors The Johannesburg SAIRAC committee would like to extend a special thank you to its sponsors who made the day possible. “Only through your continued support and generosity are we able to host a golf day of such a high standard and offer a bounty of prizes,” says Jaco Pieterse, SAIRAC Johannesburg centre chairperson. “So, a big thank you goes out to our sponsors.” The following sponsors were involved • • • • • • • • ACRA (drinking hole) Baltimore Aircoil Daikin Eurocool Metraclark Fourways Airconditioning Gree TecsaReco (drinking hole) • • • • • • • • Samsung H C Heat Exchangers Jaguar Landrover Sandton SAIRAC Concept Clean Africa Seeley International Veldon Family Zest Weg Group For a good cAuse SAIRAC presented a cheque of R15 000 to Stand with Stan, its beneficiary for the golf day this year.
