THE Joseph ‘Reds’ Pereira Cricket Commentator’s workshop concluded yesterday at the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) at Bourda with the participants receiving certificates from the Minister of Culture, Youth & Sports, Charles Ramson.

The final day, like the opening day, had tea/coffee and a lunch break while Pereira provided the gathering with points to remember.
There was also a three-minute ‘Tea time’ report done by the participants and selected one-to-one after discussions on the documents that were distributed on the first day.
Minister Ramson said he was privileged to have a legend in his field in Guyana.

“I hope you have learned from the workshop and understand that doing Radio Commentary and TV Commentary are different. I remember when my father and I would listen to cricket on a small black radio which created bonding” disclosed the Sports Minister who, in his younger days, bowled left-arm spin for Everest at the first-division level.
Minister Ramson told the participants that what was important was what they do going forward.
The Head of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport told the gathering that If they are to be great they have to be obsessed with what they do and spend most of their time on improving what they do.

Minister Ramson added changes are always there but knowing about them is critical when being able to adapt

Reds will hold a press conference at 10:00hrs on Monday at the Guyana Pegasus Hotel before departing for St. Lucia, where he resides, later in the day.
