Dear Madam/Sir

31 days to the kick off of the Soccer World Cup 2010 in South Africa.  The excitement and buzz is finally mounting after many, many years of preparation as well as handling the various misperceptions construed by the media along the way. My prediction is for a successful, safe and enjoyable World Cup with a distinctive African flavour.

As to who is going to win that I leave to some of you who are far more au fait with the game than I am. However it’s a very strong set of contenders this year so will certainly be very exciting right down to the end.

Talking about buzz......we have some of our own building here at Sturrock Shipping and will be able to share all the detail with you in our next newsletter. In the meantime I am off to queue for my own world cup tickets......



With kind regards
