The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club cricket teams continue to observe the club’s Silver Jubilee activities and the Township’s 45th anniversary by hosting several programmes for the residents of Rose Hall Town and surrounding environs.
Rose Hall Town Farfan and Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under-19 and Intermediate, Metro Female and Gizmos and Gadgets Under-21 and First Division, organised three major events over the past weekend.
These included a public exhibition on the history and development of the club and township, a free medical outreach programme for the residents in conjunction with the New Amsterdam Public Hospital and an evening of music featuring the steel band and musical band of the Guyana Defense Force.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster stated that with the completion of the three projects, the club has successfully attained 185 of its projected target of 200 for the Silver Jubilee. The public exhibition, the first of its kind to be held in Rose Hall Town featured trophies and awards won by club and ten huge banners showcasing the history of the Town, profile of Rose Hall Village, Mayors and Town clerks 1970-2015, names of the 57 slaves who bought the plantation of Rose Hall in 1842, outstanding citizens produced by the Town, places of interest in the township and a pictorial review of the village and township over the period 1940-2015.
The club also launched a leaflet on the township which was distributed free to the residents who visited the booth. Among the residents featured at the exhibition were the late Clarence Hughes S.C, Test player Assad Fudadin and Andre Percival, youth leader Alex Foster, businessman Imran Hamid, Director of Protocol Vic Persaud and Assistant Commissioner of Police, David Ramnarine.
The Medical Outreach programme was coordinated by the cricket teams with the new CEO of the New Amsterdam Public Hospital Colin Bynoe and Medical Supt. Dr. Sharma. Dozens of residents visited the JC Chandisingh Secondary School on Sunday last to be treated for a wide range of illness and received supplies of needed medicine.
The Hospital also used the opportunity to collect blood from residents as part of its blood drive. A large crowd of residents also turned out at the Arch Square on Sunday evening to be part of a musical Evening. They were richly entertained by the Guyana Defense Force Band under the command of Major Burns for over three hours.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster praised the cricketers and club execution of the projects and for working beyond the call of duty to ensure its success. Foster also expressed gratitude to several donors who contributed especially Republic Bank, Scotia Bank, Bobby’s Boutique, Imran and Son and Guyana Beverage Company among others.
The main aims of the RHYT&SC cricketers personal development programme are: to made sure that all members fully understand their roles as a sports ambassador, to develop skills to properly represent themselves and club and to make a difference in the lives of others less fortunate.
West Indies female player and Metro Captain Shemaine Campbelle stated that the teams are proud to be associated with the township of the Rose Hall and the three programme were dedicated to residents as a thank you gesture for the support over the years.
