The social program begins on Wednesday April 22 with evening cocktails to ‘catch-up’ with members of our family. Our Hospitality Desk opens on the morning of Thursday April 23 at 9.00 AM when accompanying persons, family and friends can receive information about Tours and additional activities, and another opportunity provided to renew acquaintances.

A special ‘AWIG Happy Hour’ beginning at 6.00 PM each evening will set the mood – and appetite - for dinner, and after dinner on the Friday night there will be a unique opportunity to taste the rums of Jamaica and the Caribbean. Unfortunately the numbers for the rum-tasting session have to be limited, and those that wish to attend need to e-mail the Secretary – secretary@awig.org - to that effect.

On Sunday April 26 – the likely date of departure for the majority of attendees - we will have a special ‘AWIG Good Bye Breakfast’ in the St. Ann Dining Room. Crying is permitted, as is the promise to see each other again at the Atlantis Hotel in Nassau next year.

Unfortunately For those who wish to attend the President’s Welcome Function on the Thursday night and the Farewell Function on the Saturday night, please be advised that we can no longer subsidize those persons NOT paying a Registration Fee.

For these individuals, there will be a charge of US$50.00 per person, per function. It is therefore necessary to indicate your desire NO LATER than the Thursday morning at the AWIG Hospitality Desk. The appropriate payment will then be received at that time. This will allow us to provide the hotel with accurate numbers for each function
