Guests were treated to a delicious dinner that was prepared with great care and attention to detail. It was evident that the effort put into the culinary experience was greatly appreciated by all who attended.

The speeches delivered by Mr Donald Kingwill, Shona Zana and Brent Hesselink evoked feelings of nostalgia, especially among the matrics, as it was a reminder that their time at Arthur Kingwill House was coming to an end.
