GVF President Shuffler stated during his remarks that with the commissioning of the floor at the popular venue which usually host’s various sporting activities, Volleyball players will now be able to display their unique skills without being injured from the rigid surface they were previously accustomed to.
In his remarks, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony declared that with the new Synthetic Floor, Guyana is now second to none.
