Player’s hosts “Fire and Ice” for international fund administration company Maitland

The Players restaurant at the River Club was completely transformed this past weekend to host a Fire and Ice party. Preparations got underway early on Saturday morning and by the time the guests arrived the restaurant was decked out in red and white draping. Bedouin tents with similarly coloured leather couches and cocktail tables were placed outside. Food was served street market style with a Sushi Bar, a Thai Wok stand and many more. For dessert the Chocolate Fountain was tempting with a selection fruit and sweets to dip. Beer on tap was provided by Peroni to make sure no one went thirsty. For advice on hosting a party phone 021 448 6117 or see what else players restaurant has to offer including the Jou ma se Comedy club every Thursday from 7 January 2010.

Thank you so much for organizing that Lisa from the Golf School was able to give us the instruction on how the game is played. All of you guys really went the extra mile to make sure that we had a really successful event. Even with us changing our minds 3 or 4 times.

Woolworths takes Social Responsibility into account when hosting Year End Function

We were honoured to host the Woolworths IT division – what a fantastic idea to combine a year end function with a social responsibility project. Kids from the Al-Noor orphanage in Woodstock were treated to a day of fun by some of Woolworths’ enthusiastic staff. First they played games on the lawns in front of the main buildings and then enjoyed making noise with a kids drumming session. Of course there was plenty of food to go around and a great time was had by all the kids. Then it was time for the adults to have their fun and a great party went on upstairs in our Congo Room till late.

Old Mutual goes “Proudly South African” at their Year End Function

As can be seen in the picture staff from Old Mutual’s Group Internal Audit division declared their loyalty and support for our beautiful country by choosing the “Proudly South African” theme for their function. It is really great to see South Africans shrugging off all the bad news and declaring their patriotism in such a positive way.
