Board members of the Guyana Sport Shooting Federation (GSSF) paid a courtesy call on Minister within the Ministry of Education, Department of Culture, Youth and Sport, Ms. Nicolette Henry on Monday
last at the Ministry’s headquarters, Main Street.
During the visit the GSSF President Ms. Vidushi Persaud, Vice-President Mr. Michael Blake and Assistant Secretary/Treasurer Mr. Ryan McKinnon discussed with the Honourable Minister Henry their plans for the future while giving an update on their accomplishments so far.
They reported on affiliations, stating that the federation is affiliated to three international bodies, the Steel Challenge Shooting Association, the Amateur Trapshooting Association and more recently the World Archery Federation.
In keeping with its objective to promote the growth of sport shooting locally, the federation indicated that they will be starting regulated Amateur Trap Shooting and Archery shortly. The Minister expressed her commitment to working with the federation and posited that she also looks forward to introducing Archery as a sport to Guyana with a focus on both indoor and outdoor archery.
Minister Henry said she will be giving crucial input in this area especially since it involves two other areas she is passionate about: youth and education. The federation is currently in discussion to bring an internationally renowned Archer soon to Guyana.
His years of experience in competing at World Cup Events and technical expertise will aid in the establishing of Archery on a solid foundation. Minister Henry further indicated she is excited to work with the GSSF in promoting and developing the various Sport Shooting disciplines.
The Ministry and the GSSF look forward to working together to build a stronger working relationship to the benefit of all Guyanese as the federation continues to uphold its recognition as a Sporting body promoting sport, specifically in the field of sport shooting locally, regionally and internationally.
