Introduction and Welcome
Bula vinaka and a very good evening to you all on this very special occasion! An occasion when we once again come together to relive a truly great moment in our small nation's history and thank those special people who brought us so much joy through their tremendous feat in Rio back in August last year. I must also say a special warm welcome "home" to Ben! We were so pleased when you accepted our invitation.
