The award goes to....

"Who helps you buy a big bellied horse don't help you feed it." This old time Bajan saying is apt on many levels none more so than the present cast of netballing gurus.

Prior to and even after the AGM, my support for the new President was known. It will not change despite the belief from the supporting cast of her stage play that any involvement on my part is seen as a negative.

The mandate and success of the BNA depends in part on the relationship it has with the general body.It also depends on the ability of the Board to interact on a professional level with everyone and not be seen as shallow,spiteful and vindictive. Whether or  not people believe they can work with everyone and anyone is up to them.

We grew up hearing that speech belongs to God. Obviously no one told that to the utterly rude and simply unmannerly individual who doesn't seem to possess the ability to speak even when bypassing crowds. BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS.

As in any sport, transfers will happen. Are we therefore going to use our positions of authority to hold players ransom when they request such a transfer? BEST NON-VERBAL ROLE.

In business, investors will support any venture which seems workable and profitable expecting many returns  on their investments. When that doesn't happen, the fallout is usually so devastating that the recovery process seems eternal. BEST COLLABORATION.

Again I support you Madame Prez, your award will be that of tenacity....
