Browns PNC Cocktail night 2010

You always know when the season has truly started when the Browns Ski Shop PNC (Premier Neige Club) cocktail evening comes around. A new venue for this year, The Bunker, on Cow Lane, a very nice choice, a more intimate and cosy atmosphere I thought compared to previous years.
The cocktail night is a way of Browns saying thank you to all it's loyal customers, and recongnising that it is because of their support that we are where we are today. It is very humbling to be part of a company that has so much community spirit, and likes to show it's appreciation with generous events like this.
The proceedings kicked off at about 8.30pm, with Kris Vermeir giving his usual enjoyable and jovial speech. This was followed by Fizz doing a touching speech and presenting Kris and Haggis with a suprise cake, to celebrate the fact that Browns turns 30 years old this year. You can see by the photo that Kris and Hag are as close as they were the day they took over the business all those years ago.
Highlight of the night was Browns sponsored Olympic skier Tim Cafe doing a presentation of his time during the Olympics this year. This reminded us all just how amazing his achievement was, both in getting to the Olympics in the first place and also coming away with a credible 38th place in the Super G event. Browns is very proud to be part of his Olympic effort.
A great night had by all, and hear is to another great winter ahead of us in Queenstown.
