RBTT Bank took the March Past trophy, followed by Mustique Company in second place.

The workers of the five institutions competed in several events on the afternoon, which was shortened by the late start, a heavy shower and fading light.

Among the events contested were the Walking Races, Sack Race, Lime and Spoon, Piggyback Race, Needle and Thread, the Banana Race, the Three-Legged Race, Beer Drinking Competition, the 600 m race and the Tug-O’-War.

There were also the 50 m and the 100 m Sprints for the various departmental personnel: loans officers, tellers etc, as well as for the workers’ off-spring of all age groups.

This year saw a dip in participation, as the St Vincent and the Grenadines Insurances, the National Insurance Service and Penny Bank Savers, which competed in the 2011 edition, were absent this time around.
