Island Games President: Patrick Payne
Giving birth to new ideas is always a daunting task, and the challenges which we have responded to over the past two years, bear ample testimony to this truth. But thanks to the encouragement that we have received from our athletes, coaches, and the sporting fraternity at large we are making firm strides in our pioneering role to solidify The International Sports Awards and The Island Games as two of the premier events on the athletic calendar.
The Awards program last year was a great success. Despite administrative hiccups the 2007 Games which saw tremendous growth over the previous year in terms of both the number of participating athletes as well as attendance from the public.
This year we have strengthened the management team for the games by recruiting from the West Indies, 2 of Jamaica’s top T&F officials, Garth Gayle and Clive Walters to serve on the Meet Directorate. The impact of these changes should be positively seen in both the administration of the games and the excitement of the competition which will be provided.
We are sure you will join us in congratulating our well deserved list of honorees, a list that reflects not only some of today’s outstanding performers, but also those who in times past, helped to provide the corner stone upon which today’s achievements are built. Well done honorees.
May God continue to bless you!
