GUYANA Lawn Tennis Association (GLTA) secretary Elizabeth Persaud and treasurer Ileana Boodhoo paid a courtesy call to CEO of P&P Insurance Brokers, Bish Panday, to receive the sponsorship cheque for hosting the 11th annual Junior tennis camp. Panday and his wife Ahilya, who both embrace the GLTA, from the time of its re-establishment in 2004, to produce the most popular junior tennis camp, were delighted to sponsor the event once again.
This is because the camp usually attracts at least 70 children, who enjoy the activities and many of them continue to play the sport.
The CEO encouraged the GLTA executives to actively garner support for improved tennis facilities to boost tennis development locally, given that there is a new administration. He pledged his continued support for junior activities to provide safe and healthy recreational activities.
The camp which is geared for children aged 6-18 years will be conducted on weekdays from Tuesday July 7 to Saturday July 11 and from Monday July 13 to Friday July 17. Children 6-11 years will be in action from 09:00hrs to 11:00hrs at the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue. Children 12-18years attend camp from noon and end at 14:00hrs at the National Racquet Centre, Woolford Avenue.
Entrance fee per child is $3 000 for the two-week period. Registration is currently being done by telephone (624-1739).
All parents are asked to be present to complete registration with fees at 08:30hrs on Tuesday July 7 at the National Gymnasium after which will be the Opening Ceremony.
