RECOGNITION AT LAST !
On Saturday, Jan. 27th., 2007 we staged the first-ever Prize-Giving for KAA Athletes and Coaches. It had been intended that there would be permanent trophies, but the expense and freight logistics beat us. But adidas gear was a useful substitute ! So we met at the Hotel and promoted the KAA with a slide-show featuring Athens and other Meetings. There was music, but no dancing ! Even on a very wet night, the majority of the international athletes were present. The food and drink were plentiful.
GLITTERATI PRESENTERS !
Among the invitees were officials from Tennis and Table-Tennis (who have travelled with us in the past), the first-ever South Pacific Games medallist from Kiribati (Nantara Mango - who still holds the M10K track record from the SPG in Fiji in 1963), Eneree Tataio (who has held the M100m. and M200m. NRs, KAA officials, and others. These all assisted in the distribution of the prizes. There were also speeches of thanks, exhortation and encouragement, including one by our first Olympian, Kaitinano Mwemweata.
It was still raining when we left !
