I am delegating some powers and responsibilities to this MC which made me to think hard on whom will be the captain of the ship. In Piggs Peak we have a lot of honourable and high profile people so it was not hard to identify the candidates. However, what is more difficult was to make a system that will not compromise our members from their professional duties and the work of the club,” he added.
