Thanks for visit Queen Mary

9 April 2013

The visit of the Queen Mary 2 to the Port Elizabeth harbour on 8 April 2012 brought with it an unexpected bonanza for the club as visitors and members alike descended upon our deck for a sundowner and front seat view of the stately liner’s departure on her voyage to Cape Town.

With only one barman on duty our President, Chris Grylls, assumed the mantle of additional barman whilst waiting on the imminent arrival of ‘reinforcements’ to assist behind the bar – well done and thank you Chris, we think you have the makings of a fine retirement job there!

Isn’t it amazing what a little bit of well timed marketing can do?
