GSABC-GNBCC-GBBC's joint flagship event

Friday the 25th of October we held our annual flagship event . An event organised for the 7th year together with our colleagues from the South African Business Council GSABC and for the 2nd year with our Belgian colleagues from the GBBC .

This year the event was held at the large lawn at Fitzgerald’s in East Cantonments; we attracted close to 200 people to our event of which we counted 70 of our own GNBCC Members . At the sides of the lawn,  tables were put where the many sponsors were presenting their services or products ; plenty of snacks and food were offered next to a choice of different beers and other drinks. Also the ambulance of WARA was present so that any medical aid needed was present during the evening !.

Our MC Barnabas Apom as well as our event coordinator Naana Biney were beautifully  dressed by our sponsor GTP TexStyles; Barnabas opened the evening and introduced GNBCC’s GM Tjalling Wiarda who spoke a few words ; subsequently Mr Grant Webber of the GSABC did a short speech. The official opening’s speech was done by Mr Dimitri Avraam, the Honorary Consul of Belgium . High guests were acknowledged such as the Netherlands Ambassador Mr Jeroen Verheul as well as South Africa’s High Commissioner Mrs Grace Mason and Mrs Liliana Gomez de Weston, Ambassador of Peru. Later that evening the raffle was done with the assistance of Mr Bram van Opijnen, 1st Secretary of the Netherlands Embassy: this was were everybody was waiting for - a magnificent prize of 1 Business Class Ticket by Brussels Airlines offered by Brussels Country Manager Geert Lemmen – the price was taken at the 3rd draw after the 1st 2 persons were not present anymore…

All in all a great Cocktail event where the different Members mixed and networked .Our special thanks goes to the GNBCC Sponsors PharmAccess, CWT, Conshipping, People’s Pension Trust, GTP Texstyles, WARA , Vivo Energy, Edward Mensah Wood and Associates, PAIX and SNV.
