THE MERIBEL ACADEMY AWARDS

4 April 2001


What will they be wearing? Will the speeches go on and on? Will they thank their mum? More importantly, who's going to win?

The Méribel Seasonaires Academy Awards are now open for workers to vote for the best and the bravest in their resort.

Choose from the categories below, cut and paste into an email and send it to Richard Lett, who is compiling the results in a specially sealed room. Feel free to add anything informative, relevant, juicy, libellous and/or detrimental - the judges want it all!

The Awards ceremony will take place on Monday 16 April at Dicks Tea Bar. The evening will include video footage of the season, featuring the workers that made the 'season from hell' thoroughly enjoyable and completely bearable.
