The Guyana Chapter of the JC Chandisingh Secondary School (JCCSS) Grads Association is busy putting the final touches on what is expected to be a truly grand reunion to be held on August 4, 5, and 7 on the Corentyne.
After months of intense planning and hard work, the grads’ excitement of soon being able to “meet, greet, and be sweet” is understandable. Grads who have not yet obtained their tickets are being advised to do so at their earliest opportunity.
The three-day event will get started on Friday, August 4 with a flag-raising ceremony on the school ground and then a procession to the Rose Hall Town cemetery where the grads will lay flowers at the graveside of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph and Lillian Chandisingh.
The fun and games will then begin at 10:00am at the Area H Ground. The JCCSS games master Mr. David Brigbhukan has arranged for a limited-over match between JC grads and grads of Corentyne Comprehensive Secondary School.
There will be another match involving JC overseas grads and JC local grads. Football and rugby tournaments are also expected to draw a huge crowd. Novelty events will include sack race, late for school race, lime and spoon, 100 m, 4 x100m relay, watermelon eating race, enter hole, frisbee throwing, and board games (Chess, Draughts, Scrabble).
Grads will also be given a chance to fly a mini drone. A dancing competition will bring the day’s events to a close. Some grads are already referring to the day’s activities as a mini-Olympics.
The next day, Saturday, August 5 will be the Dinner and Dance at the St. Francis Hall starting at 4:00pm. Grads are really anticipating this event because, until now, all the big JC reunions have been held in New York and Toronto.
An important part of the night’s proceedings will be the recognition of teachers, athletes, and students who have performed with distinction.
Saturday’s dinner and dance will not be the end of the Reunion.
There will be a Big Lime on the grounds of the Kennard Memorial Turf Club in Bush Lot Farm on Monday, August 7. Grads will chill out listen to music, play soft ball, and have an old-fashioned bush cook.
To stage an event of this magnitude requires many months of planning and hard work, with some of the leading planners being Frank Sanichara, Sarah Foo, Rene Ramdin, Rihanna Ameir, TiffaniaWilliams and Syd Latchana.
THIS IDIOT TELLING GUYANA WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE 50% PROFIT SHARING AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH EXXON.
