I met Christian Berglund in my first week at Loughborough University in 1990. Our shared interests, cricket, golf and ale mostly, made friendship easy as did his ability to make me laugh. Usually intentional, occas- ionally not, he was one of the funniest men I’ve ever met. He must have been because to this day I still think of him and chuckle. Of those still polluting the earth I must make special mention of one, a chap universally known as Spiller.

  • Financial Statement
    GOVERNMENT OF BARBADOS FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND BUDGETARY PROPOSALS 2011 PRESENTED BY HON. CHRISTOPHER P. SINCKLER MINISTER OF FINANCE AND ECONOMIC AFFAIRS Tuesday 16th August, 2011 1 Mr. Speaker Sir, it is with a chastened outlook yet calmed assurance that I rise to deliver to this Honourable House the Financial Statement and Budgetary Proposal for 2011. I am chastened Sir, not only by the enormity of the task that confronts me as Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs, as it does indeed the entire Government and people of Barbados, but equally as well by the massive responsibility which has been imposed on us to safely navigate our country through this most challenging period of the country’s history. Lesser men and women would have shirked from this responsibility in favour of more certain waters and a less contentious atmosphere. Surely at times Mr. Speaker, my own human frailty has led me, as I am sure it has led many others across this country, in moments of weakness to ask: why me? But for those of us on whom God Almighty has vested the burden of leadership in trying times, it is expected that we do as the Apostle Paul instructed the early Christians in his letter to the Corinthians and I quote: “Keep alert, stand Firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong” That is why for my own part, as I walk this treacherous path of uncertain economic times, I do so with a resilience to do what is mine to do. For I know that my strength also comes from the certainty that I am not walking this path alone.

  • Olympic Lines Print Ready
    November-December, 2016 The Barbados Olympic Association Inc. OLYMPIC LINES NEWSLETTER President’s Message This National Olympic Committee recognized Barbados’ 50th Anniversary of Independence by coordinating an Inaugural Independence Games, involving some 26 national federations, in a cavalcade of sport, taking place over a two week period, November and December. An innovation was a Beach Games, involving some 13 sports, with competitions taking place both in the ocean and on the beach. This was highly successful and could be a catalyst for a larger event, as beach games have become very popular internationally. These Games gave hundreds of young people an opportunity to be part of the Independence celebrations and I would like to congratulate the coordinators, led by Lt. Col. Browne, for an excellent event. After some 17 years, as Chair and President of the Caribbean Olympic fraternity, first the Caribbean Olympic Caucus and then the Caribbean Association of National Olympic Committees (CANOC), I stepped down as leader during the Annual General Assembly held in Guadeloupe during October of this year. Brian Lewis of Trinidad and Tobago was elected Interim President until an Annual General Assembly scheduled for Barranquilla, Colombia in STEVE R. STOUTE - PRESIDENT, BOA February, 2017, when there will be elections for President. My motivation for creating this entity was to seek cohesion among the Caribbean Olympic fraternity, to share scarce resources and to speak with one voice, wherever possible. At times, the journey was difficult and frustrating but I am pleased to say that I have left an organization that is now recognized by the International Olympic fraternity and has strived to build capacity among the membership.

LEGACY is the short and long-term benefit a country and its people experience as a result of successfully hosting major international events like ICC Cricket World Cup 2007. WHY HAS BARBADOS FOCUSED ON LEGACY? During the Bid, potential areas for Legacy were identified, from the redevelopment of Kensington Oval to Traffic Management to the Environment. We recognised that for the country to realise the maximum returns relative to the expenditure, it would be essential for all legacy aspects to be mined and leveraged in specific ways. What are the leading international legacy consultants saying about Barbados’ undertaking for legacy? “Legacy Barbados’ National Plan for Legacy puts the island, without doubt, amongst the leading countries in the world in the arena of effective legacy planning and sustainable implementation.
