Feedback & Pictures

• Thank you for another wonderful opportunity to exhibit our capabilities and network with our valued clients. A huge success all round in my opinion. It was an awesome experience to get away from the everyday rigours of our demanding occupation and spend a few fun and sun filled days enjoying good company and humour with our peers, colleagues and 3 extraordinary RCA event coordinators, whose continuous devotion and dedication (even after some of those wild nights) to the success of the conference and enjoyment of the delegates could not be missed. Bravo to RCA and SAGA for an outstanding and successful conference for all who attended - Regards - Blake Smith, Slimline Operations Supervisor, Wireline Services
   

• Dear Jan and Robbie, I just wanted to express my appreciation for your efforts in organizing such a great meeting in Swaziland. The choice of venue was superb, the social gatherings were unlike any other I’ve attended, and the overall conference experience was tremendous. Thanks for all of your hard work and for the genuine enthusiasm you bring to your duties. I look forward to the next meeting in 2011 in Cape Town - Thanks again, Dan DiFrancesco, Lockheed Martin - Niagara
