“Living in Guyana is fantastic; I will always remember Guyana for its hospitality. I have eaten labba and drank creek water so I hope to return to Guyana again soon,” he remarked.

He said the Club was extremely pleased for the assistance of the European Union especially Geert and Rita. The EU also sponsored a Caddies tournament last weekend.
