00:21So this weekend, we have our flagship event, which is the Tobago Open, and it started off with Total Local
00:29Friday, which is only for Tobago Indians, and this year, it was in honor of Dexter Abbott.
00:36The tournament was held at the Shore Park Complex as part of efforts to revive table tennis in Tobago.
00:43Today, it's open, well, completely open, so you have Trinidad, Tobago Indians all participating.
00:49For us, it's important coming back to Tobago to help strengthen the awareness and build capacity back in Tobago.
00:58For us, it's important because our mission is 2027 that we can have Tobago Indians being part of our national
01:07team once again.
01:0920 Tobago Indians participated in Friday's Total Local event.
01:13For the Total Local, we had at least 20 Tobago Indians participating, so the buzz is happening, the awareness is
01:21building, so we are looking to come back to Tobago and help strengthen my building capacity.
01:27How do you feel about today's tournament? It seems exciting.
01:30We are enjoying it. We love the vibe, and we have giveaways.
01:33So you have QR codes around the auditorium, and we have a lot of small businesses that contributed to making
01:43this event successful.
