IF THERE were any lingering doubts that the waterfront in downtown Kingston was the place to party, these should have been put to rest last Sunday as scores of journalists and friends partied the afternoon away in the area.

It was the start of the 2012 National Journalism Week, and after a church service at the Kencot Christian Fellowship, St Andrew, members of the media made the short trip down to the waterfront for, the Sagicor-sponsored Press Association of Jamaica (PAJ) President's Brunch.

With Richard Byles, Donovan Perkins and the Sagicor team pulling out all the stops, the ambience was to die for with a cool sea breeze and a beautiful décor.

The frequent landing and take-off of aeroplanes at the Norman Manley International Airport, along with the cargo-loaded ships making their way across the Kingston Harbour, added to the scenic background.

Then there was the great Freddie McGregor and others offering quality entertainment while Jacqui Tyson and her crew (From Thought To Finish Jahmento Limited) outdid themselves with a spread of Jamaican dishes and pastry that had journalists eating much more than they should.

With the liquor flowing and the vibe right, the dance moves came out as PAJ members and friends applauded the Sagicor team for taking this year's brunch to the waterfront in downtown Kingston.
