Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster, Mayor of Rose Hall Town Dave Budhu and Town Clerk Natasha Griffith are expected to lead the clean-up of the popular beach.
The highlight of the celebrations was the hosting of a special presentation ceremony where five outstanding former leaders of the town received the Vic Persaud Award of Excellence. The awardees were Alex Foster, Winston Hope, Bhadenauth Somrah, Vijai Ramoo and Chattergoon Ramnauth.
