Patrons last weekend returned to their various homes disappointed when the 7th Tamale Polytechnic Beauty Pageant failed to come off.
The programme could not come off as scheduled due to technical problems and apparently patrons, some of whom came from Wa in the Upper West region to watch the programme at the auditorium of the Centre for National Culture (CNC) were abashed by the turn of events.
However, the Entertainment Committee, the organisers of the pageant has given the indication that the programme will be organised this weekend.
The Entertainment Secretary of the Student’s Representative Council (SRC), Mr. Thomas Ndenab explained to Graphic Showbiz in Tamale that the programme encountered technical challenges as the three sets of machines that were brought for the function got damaged.
He explained that when the authorities went in for a set of machines for the fourth time to start the function, patrons whose patience had ran out dispersed and efforts to get them back for the programme proved futile.
Mr. Ndenab indicated that the programme could have received the highest patronage if it had been successfully held.
“I can assure you that the students are sympathising with us and are not threatening to do anything untoward” he stated.
He entreated residents and students to patronise the re-scheduled programme.
Eight contestants were billed to compete to be crowned Miss “T” Poly. The winner would take home a “Mapouka” motorbike while the second receives a 20inch colour television set and digital video disc player. The third takes home a table-top refrigerator. The remaining five contestants would receive souvenirs like T-shirts and certificates from sponsors of the programme.
The pageant is sponsored by Motor King, Vodafone, Megzet Beauty Clinic, Charles Fashion, Bigiza Court Hotel and Big Bite Catering Services.
