More information Please contact David and Margaret Cameron by phone on 07 3286 1929 or 0418 881 059 or send an email to: david@cambros.com.au Sponsors needed! The Rear-Commodore has managed to secure an excellent price on pennants for the cruise fleet from the same quality supplier we have been using for the past few years. A slightly larger size this year – 24cm along the hoist and 38cm on the midline of the fly – enables the sponsor’s name to be prominently displayed. With no year to ‘date’ the product the pennants will be worn not only by the fleet in 2016 but potentially for many years to come! At just $550 for almost three dozen pennants this is a very economical, high-visibility investment and one which could potentially also translate into other Champagne Cruise collateral in the coming weeks as our departure date draws nearer! Please call David 0418 881 059 or Matt Tesch 0406 777 077 to discuss options.
