As part of Petrolab’s annual tradition, the team enjoyed a fun day out in the sun this July! Finishing up work early, the team shared a delicious lunch at the Bowgie Inn taking in the stunning views over Crantock Bay, before setting out to the nearby Holywell Bay Golf for a friendly round of mini-golf.
