The guest speaker, Mr. Rudranath Indarsingh who is the President of the All Trinidad Sugar and General Workers Trade Union, discussed how the Trinidadian Government closed its sugar industry and highlighted its land use policy. He emphasized the role played by the ATSGWTU in the collective bargaining process for the displaced sugar workers.  The crowd responded loudly when told how much money the Trinidadian sugar workers received and especially how much land were distributed for farming and housing. It is clear that the land issue will be a pivotal one during the next campaign season. Mr. Lindsay Grant impressed the audience with a long but well researched presentation that touched the major socio-political problems affecting the Nation and was especially effective when he discussed the issue of debt and borrowing with figures from some of the more popular recent developments.

The most touching part of the afternoon was the taped message from Dr. Kennedy Simmonds which garnered a standing ovation from the crowd. Clearly Dr. Simmonds is held high in the affections of the rank and file of the Party. The other speakers included Dr. Sweeny and the Candidates and they roused the crowd. The attendees got a chance to  mingle with Candidates and Party officials during a dinner which took place after the formal speeches were concluded. The mood was optimistic and positive throughout the afternoon and there was a real sense of anticipation of good things to come and a feeling of destiny calling among all the participants. By all accounts the event, which was carried live on WINNFM, was a resounding success.
