On Saturday 17th of May 2014, all roads, traffic, motorcycles were en routed to the Mayaga hotel, a 49 minutes’ walk, 4 km road from campus, where the first ever finalist dinner was to be held.
Throngs of finalist trooped to the venue either by the SRC shuttle, motorbikes or on foot. Finalist, on whose faces worry lines where deeply drawn because of the unavailability of the shuttle at a point in time had to either jog or walk briskly to the venue. The ultimate reason upon survey, was because most felt their share of the cake should not go waste. Guess what, they had a point!
In attendance were lecturers, outgone SRC/NUGS executives, few SRC/NUGS executives of the current administration and finalist.
The all decent and official dress code dinner welcomed all finalist with a wow moment, where you get to win a take home souvenir of either a pen, wristband, bag or key holder. The moment, not being discriminatory gave all attendees the chance to win a souvenir each.
With appropriate measures put in place to remedy the flop during the handing over, coupons or chits for collection of water, drink and food were handed over to attendees before entry. The next time you find yourself organizing a dinner or party, adopt this style because it favours the patient.
The programme was characterized by classical “MCing” from Sween Ofori and Delis Williams, they were undisputedly superb. Did they read “How to M.C. Any Event” by Kafui Dey? I guess so because they are members of the Magnifiers Springboard Club on campus. Communication between the M.C.’s, event organizers and Disk jogger (D.J.) depicted professionalism.
The man of the day, D.J. Jerry, rocked collection of tunes from the “Boys a bre”, “Enter the net”, “Adonai” hit makers, Guru, Shatta Wale and Sarkodie respectively. It is worth noting that some finalist could barely pin their “buttocks” on their seats because of the carefully chosen tracks and mixes played by the master D.J. Confession, you hire this D.J. once and I tell you he will become your personal favourite.
The outgone SRC president, Anthony Acquaye expressed his heart felt gratitude to finalist for burying differences amongst themselves as well as the SRC during their 4 years stay on campus, of his administration was not left out.
The chairman of the gathering and few other lecturers present used the platform to counsel finalist on the attractions, temptations and dangers associated with National Service and the job market. To add, ethical coaching was given on the realities of the job market. Some also took to preaching on the dangers of alcoholism and the use of drugs.
Surprisingly, socialization with the opposite sex followed the normal trend leaving poised gentlemen blue because only few ladies were in attendance.
The programme, characterized by merry making was climaxed with sharing of souvenirs and exchange of pleasantries.
SRC 2013/2014, Ayekoo for your explicit thoughts about the finalist.
