Kissoon is wrong about GuySuCo’s swimming pools

Oct 09, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
Freddie Kissoon in Kaieteur News of October 6, 2010 is quite wrong about the history of the management of swimming pools owned and operated by GuySuCo.
The records will show that almost immediately after nationalisation of the sugar industry, the new Board, led by Chairman Harold Davis, made all of GuySuCo’s swimming pools open to neighbouring schools, a fact that can be verified by those estates where institutional memory survives.
Schools having been notified of this opportunity did make use of the facilities, on a scheduled basis.
Incidentally, as always obtained, the remaining public enjoyed the facilities as guests of individual staff members, more often than not on Sundays.
The writer was one executive involved at the time.
E. B. John
