"And I'd Just Like To Thank..."

No awards ceremony would be complete without a multitude of agents, parents, primary school teachers and general hangers-on to thank. However, there are, in fact, a number of important people who "If Selected..." would genuinely like to express immense gratitude to, and without whom there would have been no Millennial Cuzza.

First up is the legendary Bard and Toastmaster himself, Mr Keith Sidaway, whose idea the whole thing was, and who provided the management expertise for the entire project. And not forgetting of course his magnificent Millennial Curry Multi-Media Extravaganza - an experience that will live long in the memory of anyone who was present at The Raj Tandoori that famous night (players, staff and other diners as well!).

Many thanks also to legendary cultured libero, Mr Malcolm Dick, who provided much creative input and many embarrassing photo's, as well as a highly entertaining nominations speech for the Player of the Millennium Award.

Mr David Richmond, cricketer, husband, bon-viveur and pre-sales consultant must also take a huge bow for his sterling efforts in locating and booking such a high-class venue for this once-in-a-millennium occassion, not to mention his invaluable customer relations skills.

There is always much to thank the wise Supremo for, but on this occasion Mr Scott Fleming out-did himself with a highly entertaining 'State of the Nation' speech.

Thanks are also due to all who attended, especially Readie, who bought all the drinks in the pub before-hand. And not forgetting the staff at The Raj Tandoori who showed limitless flexibility and good humour in the face of such leading-edge technology.

And finally, "If Selected..." would like to say a big thank-you to everyone who voted in our Millennial Poll. Votes were received from as far away as France, Canada, Germany, Manchester, Holland, Japan, Scotland, Leeds, and Windsor. The wonders of modern technology eh? Without you, the voters, there would have been no Millennial Curry, and the Raj Tandoori for one, would have been a lot poorer place without it.
