It has been suggested that the Jamaicans would never have come to Birmingham if it had not been for ex Council leader Mike Whitby
flying to Jamaica on an all expenses paid visit to persuade them to come to Birmingham instead of Leeds.

Apparently the clincher was when the ex Cabinet member for Fun and Games personally showed them around the facilities at Birmingham University.

It would therefore appear that we and the Jamaicans have the Birmingham Condems to thank for their success.
