Representatives of clubs with their first aid kits
Cricket clubs in the ancient county of Berbice continue to benefit from the hard work of the Special Events Committee of the Berbice Cricket Board. Eleven cricket clubs along with the Berbice Cricket Umpires Association received a first aid kit from the Berbice Cricket Board and the Berbice Chamber of Commerce and Development Association. The Berbice Chamber of Commerce and Development Association donated the sum of $50,000 that was used to purchase the kits.
Receiving the first aid kits were Bath, Cotton Tree, West Berbice, Blairmont, Edinburgh, Police, Young Warriors, Albion, Bermine, Port Mourant and Chesney. Chairman of the Special Events Committee Hilbert Foster stated that the Berbice Cricket Board has observed that most cricket clubs in Berbice were without a first aid kit and were unable to treat any type of injury on the cricket field. The Berbice Cricket Board approached the President of the Berbice Chamber of Commerce and Development Association Imran Saccoor who readily agreed to sponsor the first aid kits. Foster also stated that the Berbice Cricket Board in early 2013 would be hosting a first aid training seminar for all clubs in Berbice.
President of the Berbice Chamber of Commerce and Development Association, Imran Saccoor, stated that his organisation was pleased to assist Berbice Cricket as the Board was doing a remarkable job of organising the game, while he praised the excellent working relationship between the BCCDA and the BCB. Saccoor expressed his gratitude to the Berbice Cricket Board for its assistance in fund raising activities. Carl Moore of the Bermine Cricket Club expressed gratitude to the BCB and BCCDA for the donation of the first aid kit. Clubs in Berbice are fortunate, Moore said as the BCB during the year had presented them with a range of items to assist them to function properly.
