Business Chamber enjoys Fancourt hospitality
Gathering under a starry sky on the patio of Monet’s Restaurant at Fancourt made for a magical networking evening of the George Business Chamber on Thursday 21 June. The Fancourt estate, which comprises 618ha of beautifully landscaped gardens and golf courses, has some interesting operational logistics. For instance, 57 000 rounds of golf were played during the whole of 2017 and 24 300 balls were fished out after ending up in the water.
Thus out of every 4 players, at least 2 put one golf ball into the water features on the golf course. Fancourt served 1 800 meals on Christmas day 2017, inclusive of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Three guests were well awarded for getting close to the actual figures in a fun quiz held by Leroy Ferreira,

Citizens need protection
On a more serious note, the need to keep the civilian population safe during unrest situations was mentioned. George Business Chamber Committee member
Ivor Claassen, a sales representative at the local security company Suiderkruis Security, George Herald said the city fathers of George need to look at contingency plans in this respect. The question of extra protection was brought into the spotlight again by last week’s violent protests in Thembalethu, where the George police force arrested 21 people. Claassen said a stronger metro police force is an option that may have to be examined.
