Bregado Flax Teacher collapses at awards ceremony
Weekes had to be rushed to the Peebles Hospital and was in a semi-conscious state at the time. The event was held at the Cutlass Towers Building in Road Town and was hosted by the Department of Education. It is the second annual Teachers Award ceremony.
Weekes was in high spirits earlier and considered by some as being a livewire during the awards ceremony tonight.
His condition was not listed as critical up to post time and he is currently receiving medical attention at the medical institution.
The Bregado Flax Educational Centre won the School of the Year award for the Secondary division.

@ straight gaff.....Really? cocktail party, village, show, or teacher's reception .... the choice of footwear is up to the individual, wear comfortable shoes. While I am all for rewarding the teachers, its a waste of our hard earned tax payers revenue. First off, education is a profession that has hundreds of teachers to cater to...Second, what about other professions that fall under the Education and Culture umbrella, are we going to make this a standard way of recognizing persons? BVI or elsewhere, individual or group people will be criticised. In the minister's case he is being criticised for the decisions that he has made especially for a man whose profession is a lawyer. Third, always remember, whether we (people in general) like something or not, support a decision or not...it is always in our best interest to make worthwhile decisions. So if the venue was hot...sense alone go outside and get some fresh air. If you were in a sh...y bathroom would you stay or leave?
However, I do pray his condition is minor and wish him a speedy recovery.

crow. hang in there buddy.
