The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, MS is inviting members of the Berbice public to submit nominations for two of its major awards. The Club in Mid-July would be hosting the fourth edition of the Ansa Mcal Award of Excellence and the Gregory Gaskin Memorial Berbice Sports Awards. The Awards are administered by the Educational and Public Relations Committee of the RHTYSC, MS and the final awardees are chosen by a panel of judges headed by Veteran journalist Gregory Rambarran.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster stated that the Ansa Mcal Award of Excellence honours four outstanding Berbicians of service of the highest standard in the fields of Sports Administration, Education, health and Community Development. All of the nominees shall have to be Berbicians, be positive role models to youths, have completed over 20-30 years of dedicated and outstanding service in the four fields listed above. The Club would like to inform the general public that functioning as a member of Parents/Teacher Associations does not count as dedicated service in the field of education.
