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.
