The day’s event is expected to be fun filled since there will be musical entertainment, cheerleaders, food and beverages bar and a whole host of other entertainment.
The organizers have decided to host the event since much does not happen in Berbice on Mash Day and it will give patrons an opportunity to come out with their families and have fun.
The team will battle for over $200,000 in cash and prizes and patrons will also have the opportunity to sample items from various entities that will be doing promotions at the event.
The proceeds from the event will go towards purchasing a cover for the Young Warrior Ground Cricket Pitch and to fence the venue.
The Club was resuscitated in 2000 and has so far erected two pavilions with all amenities, two concrete sight screens, bought lawn mower/slasher and a concrete score board.
The ground was transformed from a pasture to one of the best in Berbice. The Club has produced Guyanese cricketers like the Damodar Dasrat, Richard Ramdeen, Kevin Ramdeen, Quacy Maltay, Seon Hetmyer, Shimron Hetmyer, Balram Samaroo and Gajanand Singh amongst others.
Several sponsors have already come on board including Terminate Pest Control, Republic Bank Guyana Limited, Charrandass Law Firm, Universal DVD, Universal Solutions, Associated Business Services, Banks DIH, Ashiek and Sons Motor Supplies and S. Sattaur and Son General Store amongst others. Persons interested in vending and becoming a Sponsor are asked to contact Telephone # 592-624-1436 or 592-623-6875.
