The 24 page Magazine was a joint production of the BCB Special Events Committee and the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club (RHTY&SC) which reviews the outstanding work of the Board for the period, January 2011 to March 2012.
Special Events Committee Chairman and Editor of the Magazine Hilbert Foster said that the latest edition of the Review Magazine was another red letter day for the Board as it strives to inform shareholders of the game and the rapid developments taking place there.
Foster described the BCB PR Programme as one of the best in the cricketing world and stated they are determined that everyone is kept abreast of everything in Berbice.
He informed that the magazine was printed at the F&H Printery in Georgetown at the cost of $350,000 and includes five pictorial reviews, 37 articles on tournaments and programmes, a profile on promising Under-15 player Shimron Hetmyer, a thank you segment to sponsors, the Berbice Cricket Board financial statement and reports from the Special Events and Cricket Competitions Committees.
It was disclosed that the Magazine would be given to all shareholders in Berbice and Guyana’s cricket; schools, NGOs and sponsors of the Board.
