FABI’s annual Spring Day event was celebrated with a Beach Party in the FABI courtyard on 1 October. The early morning clouds cleared and FABIans took some time to enjoy a cupcake and ice cream in the warm sunshine. The FABI social club, under the enthusiastic leadership of Melandré van Lill, laid on a colourful spread for everyone to enjoy dressed in their beach attire. Welcoming everyone, Prof. Bernard Slippers said that it is social events like these that allows FABI to develop a social cohesion and team spirit and he also thanked the social club for their hard work to make the event a success.

A big thank you to Inqaba Biotec for their generous sponsorship of the cupcakes enjoyed at the beach party. Inqaba ran several competitions as part of the fun and the winners of prize hampers were Kyle Craninx, Lolize Kruger and JJ Nelson.
