it was awesome....glad i went. a few things though i think next time we need to set time limits i.e to be nominated you must have done work between e.g. January 2009 - January 2010.

A point of correction please;the title of Marion Shako's song is not chacha bwana as written here,rather its 'chawucha Bwana'. Thanks.
