Lennie Shuffler 75th birth anniversary volleyball set for Feb. 9
The 75th birth anniversary of Guyana Volleyball Federation (GVF) President would be celebrated in grand style when the local governing body brings off the fourth annual Lennie Shuffler birthday festival set for Sunday February 9 next from 09:00hrs at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue, Georgetown.

All the ground work is being put in place by the GVF Executive committee to ensure that this edition is successful and memorable.
This one of a kind festival is open to all existing and emerging third-division teams across Guyana featuring both male and female teams. There will also be an exhibition match between the reigning volleyball champs of Region 4 and the fast rising Guyana Defense Force team.
Now in its fourth consecutive year, the initiative is organised to show gratitude while highlighting Shuffler’s unwavering sportsmanship and dedication to the sport.
Over the years, it has attracted participants from other sporting disciplines including hockey players who also performed admirably. The same approach will be undertaken this year.
Shuffler, who has been at the helm of the sport for many years, was introduced to the game at the tender age of thirteen (13) and ever since then he has elevated himself going on to become a national player and then Captain of the Guyana National team.
It has now been sixty-two (62) years Shuffler would have been involved in the sport, first as a player and then as an administrator. He is now serving his third and final term as the President of the GVF and soon will be handing over the reins to his successor.
This year’s activity will be the last time this event will take place while he still holds office as President of the GVF but will continue to be an annual event. His philosophy of friendliness, team work, fair competition, peace and meaningful interactions are expected to be demonstrated during the festival.
Players and interested persons are asked to contact the coordinators John Flores (623 2020) and Ronald Smith (684 5885) to complete the registration.
