CS&TC prepare for season closing race on Sunday

Dec 14, 2012 Sports

 

 

Race walkers will cap this year’s activities when the Cavaliers Sports and Tour Club (CS&TC) presents a 10K event, fittingly dubbed ‘Last Lap Race Walk’ on Sunday December 16 next.
Led by the nation’s most prolific race walker, Rudolph Mitchell, competitors will convene at Trevor Harry’s Photo Studio, Back Road Soesdyke at 06:30hrs, proceed around the Soesdyke community, and return to the place of origin.
The athletes would be competing for trophies, medals and other prizes donated by corporate Guyana. Later in the day, the CSTC will host its annual Christmas party for children and senior citizens.
Meanwhile, the executive committee of the CS&TC is satisfied with their accomplishments over the past year and coordinator, Ms. Olga Harry said that this is in spite of the many challenges faced including a paucity of adequate sponsorship.
Ms. Harry singled out those corporate entities and individuals that supported their activities including Public Service Minister, Dr. Jennifer Westford, MP, Dr. Jose L DaSilva, (Managing Director, Modern Optical Service), Commissioner General, Guyana Revenue Authority, Mr. Khursid Sattaur, and Dr. Lionel Da Silva of Da Silva’s House of Optics.
“Had it not been for their sterling contributions the sport would have declined completely,” said Ms. Harry. The Public Relations Officer boasted that despite the challenges faced, her organization has been able to successfully stage more than thirty events countrywide.
The CS&TC’s Coordinator further said that her executives have a lot in store over the coming year and envisages similar successes. She intimated that some of these plans encompass the broadening of the awareness of the sport.
She also said that one of the ploys being currently considered is the staging of races locally as well as training sessions in all ten regions of the country, participating in overseas events and engaging in exchange programmes with overseas teams among other events.
“We are now mulling our involvement at the impending Brazil Olympiad,” she further disclosed.
