Going a step farther about Panorama in South for the first time: (a) The total prize monies awarded for the 8 large panorama finalists were $1000k, $700k, $650k, $600k, $550k, $500k, $450k and $400k respectively. (b) I was happy that 5 of the oldest names in pan qualified in that million pay day final, namely Invaders, All Stars, Desperadoes, Renegades and Starlift. (c) Although Mr. Lennox "Bobby" Mohamed is from South, Pan Trinbago did not acknowledge him. No! he was not included with other Southern Pioneers. {He was not honoured the following year also}
