THE University of Guyana, Tain Campus, is set to confer an Honorary Doctorate on Joseph ‘Reds’ Perreira, on Thursday November 16, in Berbice. Perreira who is the facilitator of the upcoming commentators’ workshop in Guyana will also be inducted into the Berbice Cricket Board’s Wall of Fame on the same day.

It was previously announced that a workshop for cricket commentators will take place from November 16 to 18 at the Georgetown Cricket Club, Bourda. However, some adjustments must be made so that the veteran commentator can be at both events.

The commentators’ workshop will now be on two days, Wednesday 15th and Friday 17th at Bourda from 09:00 hours daily.
‘Reds’ who was born in the Pomeroon in Essequibo currently resides in St. Lucia is committed to the workshop which will see the pool of Guyanese commentators being widened.
The opening session will see Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Kashif Muhammad and President of the Guyana Cricket Board, Bissoondyal Singh addressing the invitees while there will be presentations by former Test cricketer now international Match Referee, Reon King; umpire, Shannon Crawford; scorer, Trevor Hussain; veteran broadcaster Russell Lancaster and business executive, Ramsay Ali, over the course of the two days.

The chosen theme of the workshop is ‘Taking it to another level.’
