Organizers of Bahamas Speed Week Revival 2011, charitable banquet sponsor Pictet Bank & Trust and beneficiaries of the gala ball paid a courtesy call on Governor General Sir Arthur Foulkes at Government House September 8.
The Governor General and Lady Foulkes are patrons of the Bahamas Speed Week Gala Banquet and Auction of Promises, a highlight of the five-day series of events expected to draw more than $100 million worth of iconic racing and classic sports cars to The Bahamas between November 30 and December 4.
The benefit, to be held at Atlantis December 3, will raise funds for four Bahamian charities while the sprints, exhibitions and social activities throughout the week are being touted as a major economic and tourism boost.
