| With assistance from officers of the National Conservation Committee
certain equipment was obtained and help given by staff of this organisation
with some of the heavier and more technical work.
Funds to purchase the equipment were remitted to GameTime in May
1999 and after a number of tantalising delays, finally arrived in
Barbados on 13th August 1999. Further delays prevented us taking
possession until 10th September 1999 however it was a relief to
receive the equipment and move into the installation stage.
Generous donations by a surface carrier out of Miami contributed
to this equipment reaching Barbados when it did and at minimal cost.
We are eternally grateful to this company since the reality of having
to meet freight costs which almost exceeded the cost of the equipment
itself, seemed certain to scuttle the project.
In the planning stages, it was felt that we would have been able
to complete the installation ourselves. However once the specifications
were received, it became clear that installation would have been
much more technical than at first thought and it was decided to
use the services of a certified installer out of Puerto Rico. Alberto
Munoz arrived on Friday September 17th to commence installation,
which was completed by Sunday 19th September with the help of a
number of dedicated Kiwanians.
Needless to say, some anxious moments crept in at the installation
stage but thanks to the commitment of the Kiwanians and public-spirited
members of the community, we were able to meet our schedule for
completion.
