The public would have earlier learnt about their celebrations with the recently held Old Year’s night Ball at the club’s pavilion on 31st December, 2011.
During, the month of January, the club will be holding its usual end of month last Friday Club Nights and these are expected to be followed by many other activities over the coming months.
The Regional T20 viewing has been an annual feature on their calendar and it begins today with matches that are being played in Antigua, while those scheduled to be played in Barbados will follow.
Today’s viewing of the matches coincides with the official launch of the DCC’s Centenary Year Celebrations.
The DCC in an effort to engender maximum support for the embattled Guyana Cricket Team, while at the same time honour Christopher Barnwell’s ascendency to the Captaincy, has decided to show all the T20 games on wide screen television at the Club’s venue, Lance Gibbs Street, Queenstown, Georgetown live on ESPN.
The aim according to a release is to create a cricket village with a similar atmosphere to those in Antigua and Barbados where the games would be played.
