SEVENTY-FIVE years is a long time in the history of any organisation. Years of existence may be easy to achieve, but what really matters is the achievements that occurred during that period. This year, the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) will be observing its Diamond Jubilee and there is much to celebrate during 2014 and the board’s achievements over the years have been unmatched.

With that in mind, the BCB intends to have a year of celebrations to mark this historic event, with the month of September being earmarked as the special anniversary month, and one of the projects undertaken for this accomplishment is the publication of the Diamond Jubilee Magazine.
To this extent, the BCB over the last five years has been the only board to publish an annual cricket magazine and the board is pleased to announce a partnership with Corbin Media Group, publisher of the popular GEM Magazine, as the publisher of their Diamond Jubilee Magazine.
Last Tuesday in the studios of the National Communications Network, both the BCB and Corbin Media Group who were represented by their Chief Executive Officer Simeon Corbin, affixed their signatures to an Agreement of Understanding (AOU) for this undertaking.
According to Public Relations Officer of the BCB Hilbert Foster, the Magazine will feature the history of the BCB, its achievements along with profiles of outstanding players and officials.
There would also be several pictorial reviews, articles on the BCB All Time XI and Hall of Fame and it is expected to be finished by the end of May and will be made available as a souvenir to the general public, with the kind compliments of the BCB.
Prior to affixing his signature to the AOU, Corbin applauded the BCB for their hard work put in over the years, while saying his Company was delighted to be chosen.
“This is an organisation (BCB) which has many years of tradition, producing quality players for Guyana and West Indies and on behalf of our company I would like to say that we are honoured to be chosen as the producer of your Diamond Jubilee Magazine.
It is always our aim to produce the best in quality for international standards in our magazines and we will be working to produce that same quality for you in your Diamond Jubilee Magazine,” said Corbin, who along with the BCB’s secretary Angela Haniff, signed the AOU.
