It’s great to at last see, one group of people who have gone through a Leadership Programme actually banding together again to do something for the community. Cheers to them.

Only problem appears to be, first their choice of project and second, their decision not to work with the national sports organization to combine forces.

However all is not lost as B.T.L. has come up with a fantastic alternative project for an Awards Night for this group of leaders.

How about an Awards Night for our Politicians? Oh come on, you know you want to! Just think of the fun of choosing appropriate prizes? And many of them are sooooo deserving. For their safety the identity of judges will be kept secret as all secrets in Samoa are!

Here are just a few of the categories people could be vying for - some serious others are just downright scathing

Send in your nominations please!
