SAIRAC JOHANNESBURG CENTRE
FELLOW LUNCHEON
The fellows lunch provides an opportunity for those within the refrigeration and airconditioning industry to give thanks , and to honour the fellows of the institute who have shaped and nurtured our industry into what it is today .
The title " Fellow " requires a minimum membership to SAIRAC of 10 years , and is awarded to those who have shown significant performance , with recognised contributions to the industry ( amongst other criteria ).
The event kicked off with guest speaker , former Proteas fast bowler Fanie De Villiers , who regaled those in attendance with stories of his cricket career and gave his candid opinion of the current state of Cricket in South Africa .
When asked how he thought the Proteas would fair in the upcoming T20 World Cup , de Villiers was unfortunately correct when he predicted that we would require " a lot of luck " to make the semi-final stage of the tournament .
Lunch was then served , and the Johannesburg Country Club was as impressive as ever , providing a beautiful backdrop to accompany the excellent food and service that we have come to expect .
