GSTT ANNUAL DINNER AND AWARDS FUNCTION
The Sixth Annual Dinner and Awards Function of the Geological Society of Trinidad and Tobago was held at the
Texaco Staff Club, Pointe-a-Pierre on Saturday 15th October, 1983.
Guest speaker at the function was accountant and Independent Senator of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Mr.
Alwyn Chow. Senator Chow, in his address, examined the Central Government's latest attempt at foreign exchange
control and the implication that this system will have on business economics as a whole, and the oil industry in
particular.
After the feature address, the following awards were presented:

SPECIAL AWARD
Dr. Hans Kugler - in recognition of his contribution to Trinidad Geology.
The new executive of the Geological Society of Trinidad and Tobago was also presented at the function.
In his outgoing address, the Past President Mr. Franklin Khan stated that the Society should continue its training
programme with the accent on the role of computers and microelectronic technology in the search for oil.
Also, he felt that the Society should maintain its active role of keeping the public reliably informed on the state
of the petroleum industry and must make itself heard on national issues affecting all geologists and the petroleum
industry. He expressed concern however, over the lack of employment opportunities in the country for geologists
and the continued absence of legislation on the confidentiality of well data.
The new president, Ms. Carol Telemaque, in a brief address, urged her fellow geologists to work together and to
make a greater effort to have their works published for the development of local geology. In this regard, she
also saw the need for a relaxation of the strict company rules regarding confidentiality of data.
The function was chaired by the former Chief Geologist in the Ministry of Energy and National Resources, Mr. John
Scott and the awards were presented by the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, the Honourable Mi.. Patrick
Manning.
