BEQUIA NEW YEAR’S EVE CELEBRATIONS 2013/14

Once again it is my pleasurable duty to thank all of you, in both the private and the business sector, who contributed finance to make this year’s New Year’s Eve fireworks in Bequia such a resounding success.

With our annual display now in its 13th year, we can truly claim to have established – with your generous support – an institutional tradition for celebration in Bequia on New Year’s Eve, or in local parlance “Old Year’s Night”.

We are deeply grateful for the goodwill of all of those who give their time and skills to make this event happen, including the Fireworks Team at the Frangipani. My especial grateful thanks go as always to the Bang Gang who each year forego their own celebrations so that others may enjoy themselves; no charge is made for any services rendered and their selfless commitment to the pleasure of the entire island is to be applauded.

We would like also to place on record also our appreciation to the Ministry of Finance for their 100% tax and duty free concession, our Customs Broker Ms. Richards and her staff at Express Shipping Customs and Shipping Agents, The Commissioner of Police and his staff for granting permission to import the fireworks, and Station Sgt. Thomas and his team at Port Elizabeth Police Station for their assistance in storing and securing them.

Finally our thanks got to Kelly Glass and the Management and Crew of the Sand Pit for the preparation and use of their facilities and to the crew of Tug America for their help in setting up the display, and providing security before the show.

We look forward to you continued support. It is essential that we place our order for fireworks early in the year to ensure the selection we desire, and to give the necessary time required for the complex procedures involved in licensing, shipping and importing. The total overall cost estimates to approximately EC$15,000, and this will be our target for 2014.

Contributions for New Year’s Eve 2014 are welcome at any time – in fact, the earlier the better! Cheques, made payable to: Bequia NYE Celebrations, can be sent to our Committee Secretary at Box 128 BQ, Bequia, or left at the Frangipani for my personal attention.

With best wishes,

Sir James MitchellChairmanBequia New Year’s Eve Celebration Committee
