‘ A TROPICAL CHRISTMAS ’
By SAIRAC Kwazulu Natal
What a wonderful time was had at the KZN Christmas in July / Fellows Appreciation Luncheon on 5 July 2024 .
The theme was ‘ A Tropical Christmas ' and everyone was encouraged to wear something tropical . There were about 62 people who attended the Westville Country Club , many
dressing the part , including the Fellows .
The tables were colourfully decorated and the hall was filled with Caribbean styled songs that were sung by Sandy Elle and Bryan Row as people chatted , ate and drank . The food was delicious : lamb spit-braai with salads and vegetables , brownies
with strawberries and marshmallows which were drizzled with a hot chocolate sauce were served for dessert .
Gordon Banks was the keynote speaker ( his last official function as the KZN Chairman ) who spoke about honour , which he mainly directed at the SAIRAC Fellows . Gordon also emphasised the need for the more mature , experienced and knowledgable members to continue to mentor the up-andcoming leadership within the industry . A poster sized photo
