THE Guyana National Newspapers Limited (GNNL) has confirmed its support towards the Berbice Cricket Board’s (BCB) educational posters programme, which will be unveiled at the board’s annual Awards Ceremony, scheduled for April 21, 2018, at State House in New Amsterdam.

The company made a financial contribution to assist with the publication of two of the posters.
The BCB is expected to publish six posters during 2018 and these will be distributed only to Berbice cricket clubs and players.

During the simple presentation ceremony, Chairperson of the Guyana National Newspapers Limited’s Board of Directors, Geeta Chandan-Edmond, stated that she and fellow directors were impressed with the work of the BCB and as such the company was pleased to assist in the effort to educate youths.

She noted that while natural talent is important, knowledge of cricket is crucial as it would allow cricketers to become well-rounded individuals.
The Chairperson extended best wishes to the BCB and expressed confidence that the

posters programme would achieve all of its objectives.
President of the BCB, Hilbert Foster, extended gratitude to the directors for their investment into Berbice cricket and pledged that his administration would work hard every day to make sure that every potential in Berbice is fulfilled.

The board, Foster stated, has turned around the status of the game in Berbice in just six weeks and predicted that by the end of 2018, Berbice cricket would be in a class of its own in the West Indies.
The main objectives of the multi-coloured 11’ x 17’ posters would be to educate youths on the history of the game, rules of cricket, the art of batting and bowling, Test cricketers produced by Berbice and also to encourage them to work on their own game on a full-time basis.

Members of the BCB Cricket Development Committee would be responsible for the contents of the posters.
