-hands over equipment to MSC in final phase
By Edison Jefford
Ansa McAl on Tuesday completed its ‘Crown Your Community’ promotion when it handed over the final piece of equipment, which was a $600,000 John Deere Grass Cutter, to Mackenzie Sports Club’s (MSC) Management as part of a $3M ground makeover.
Public Relations Officer at Ansa McAl, Darshanie Yussuf, told the media that the Company wants the facility to benefit the people and the community. She said that the STAG initiative shows that Ansa McAl is serious about the holistic development of sports.
“We resurfaced the ground as MSC requested and as part of maintenance,
we are handing over an equipment that we’re certain will give the ground a neat finish,” Yussuf said, adding that the cost to resurface the ground amounted to $2.4M exclusive of the equipment.
The Grass Cutter and resurfacing cost accounted for the $3M ground makeover under the STAG Beer brand. Treasurer at the MSC, Phillip Gibbons, in receiving the equipment, thanked them for the gesture, adding that it will certainly enhance their care of the facility.
“We are not too happy that you had to come at a time when the ground is not fully completed but we are grateful for this gesture; it will ensure that we have a beautiful surface so that sports could come back to the MSC at a high standard,” Gibbons said.
Ansa McAl has had a hands-on approach to the management of the MSC ground project through its completion. However, while the ground is levelled and fully grassed there is still a final phase of rolling to be done, which the inclement weather has prevented.
The MSC was chosen as the venue for the makeover after the popular liming spot, Chicken’s Bar in Linden had won the STAG Beer ‘Crown Your Community’ promotion. The outlet in Linden is renowned as a popular STAG Beer ‘watering-hole’ in the community.
Yussuf had described the promotion as “revolutionary”. It was based on the community that had collected the most STAG Beer crowns (corks), and highest weight, being adjudged the winner at the end with a field renovation prize worth $3M.
However, in addition to the field renovation, Ansa McAl Trading had also done Dressing Rooms aback the MSC Basketball Court. The Dressing Rooms were named after one of Linden’s and one of Guyana’s most prolific basketball players, James Brusche.
