SAIRAC CAPE TOWN CENTRE YEAR-END LUNCHEON
Contributed by SAIRAC Cape Town Centre
The event on 16 November 2023 at the Kelvin Grove Club commenced with a warm welcome from the SAIRAC Cape Town Centre vice-chairman , Steven Palvi , who expressed gratitude to all attendees for their continued support and commitment .
The luncheon was a resounding success , with ± 185 attendees thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to connect , network and meet acquaintances within the industry . The event was made memorable by the presence of renowned comedian Barry Hilton , who provided first-rate entertainment throughout the afternoon . With a microphone in hand , he effortlessly commanded the stage and instantly connected with the audience on a personal level . He interacted with attendees , incorporating their responses and reactions into his act . This personalised touch made the experience even more memorable as his ability to find humour in everyday situations resonated with the attendees , resulting in uproarious laughter that echoed throughout the venue .
As the luncheon progressed , guests were treated to a threecourse meal that showcased the culinary expertise of the Kelvin Grove Club ' s talented chefs . The menu featured a variety of mouthwatering dishes , catering to different dietary preferences and ensuring that everyone ' s taste buds were satisfied .
