The Eccles\Ramsburg NDC yesterday handed over $1.5M, which was taken from their 2013 budget, to the Providence Community Centre and Ground Management Committee (PCCGMC) after both parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the NDC office. The funds will be used to upgrade the playfield and the pavilion and works are expected to commence next week.
Chairman of the Eccles\Ramsburg NDC, Saeed A. Khan presents a copy of the MOU to president of the EBDCA Rohan Sarjoo in the presence of members of the NDC and ground management committee.

The management committee will be responsible for the effective functioning of the ground and building, to enhance sports within the NDC and to carry out training programmes to enhance community development.
