We speak for all South Africans when we say that 2010 simply must be a great year! With the global financial crisis of 2008/9 having hit us all between the eyes, we can only look forward to an improvement. In South Africa we are particularly excited to be hosting the World Cup, the biggest sporting event on the annual calendar. Finally we will be able to showcase our beautiful country to millions of visitors and millions more television viewers. Perhaps those people who still believe that we live in deepest darkest Africa with lions and elephants roaming the streets will be stunned into silence when they see the infrastructure that exists. Our only hope is that we can limit the impact of crime and make it an event that will go down in history as one the “greats”.

We welcome Sarah Dabner as our new Marketing lady.

Sarah has joined us to make sure that we keep up the good relationships we have built up with you, our loyal customers in the past, and will be forging new relationships with those companies that have not yet enjoyed our hospitality.

To find out more about how our conference department can organise your next banquet, conference or event phone us on 021 448 6117 or view the conference venues webpage.

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

The River Club conference venue will be hosting the “Adidas and Taylormade Sample and Warehouse Clearance Sale” the 27, 28 and 29 November 2009.

Charity – Men on the side of the road

We have recently been introduced to a great concept that enables us to reduce unemployment without the risk of picking labourers up from the side of the road. Let’s face it, in our crime-ridden society we are all fearful of picking up strangers and employing them in our homes or businesses. Men on the Side Of the Road will be able to assist you with your labour requirements by simply making a phone call. They have a list of prospects that are categorised by skill in various areas of the peninsula. Whether you need a plumber, bricklayer, painter or gardener they know someone that can do the job! They will also advise you on the recommended daily rate for a particular job, and as a non-profit organisation it does not cost you anything extra.

If you would like to make use of their services, or you want to support this initiative to reduce crime and unemployment, call now on 021 448 9000. For more information on Men at Work click here.

Compliments

Due to the high demand for year-end functions we have installed permanent decor in our two largest rooms – the Congo Room and the Zambezi Room. The rooms will be draped with swags on the ceiling, and the swags will have fairy lights to create that special atmosphere. Colours will be neutral so that you can enhance your theme by adding colourful table overlays and chair ties.

Make an enquiry now, our coordinators will turn your dinner into a memorable event while keeping to the all important budget.

Another Happy Customer

Nothing gives us more pleasure here at the River Clubthan meeting a customers needs. Susan from the Cape Wine Academy recently held a conference at our facilities, here is what she had to say:

“Hi All You Hard Workers!!!

Thanks for all being so professional and really making this course happen. The room was great, your staff always on hand and eager to help out, we had fun and lots of good feedback from our students. Service was excellent and so was the teas, and food, and your timing was perfect. Thanks so much we really appreciate all the hard work. Hope your bosses appreciate you all. Please let Jean, Dom and Zikisie know that I really appreciate them and love working with them, and thank them for me!”

Thank you for your feedback Susan.
