Everest Cricket Club sprucing up
Leading cricket club in Georgetown, Everest Cricket Club is currently undergoing a physical transformation that is spearheaded by the executive body.
The move follows a decision taken at the club’s monthly meeting in mid-January after examining the need for the upgrade and the club’s financial position.
The vibrant body’s first project was the repainting of the scoreboard and the tins which were done last Sunday at the club located at Camp Road and Carifesta Avenue.
President of the club, Rajesh Singh noted that “help is given to those who help themselves that is why as a club we are fixing up our home away from home by ourselves.” Singh further stated that the club remains committed to serving the business community by offering advertising in and around the club. “We have space for billboards, space along the outer and inner fence and pavilion that our business partners can utilize,” Singh said.
Other projects include; the repainting of the outer walls of the club’s main pavilion, fixing light fixtures, leveling of the outfield and with lots of external help, building the northern mound.
Last Sunday was deemed a success and special mention was made of club coach, Saheed Mohamed and Vice President Dwayne Adams for taking the lead roles in the execution of the stepping stone project to enhance the club’s overall aesthetics.
The club will be hosting a curry-que this Friday and will have other fund raising events periodically to improve their financial position. Tickets for the curry-que are available at the club or from any executive member. The upper level of the club is also available for rental for special events at affordable rates it was disclosed.
The ground is one of the better ones in the Georgetown zone and is used for many Guyana Cricket Board and Georgetown Cricket Association organized competitions, while it is considered “the Mecca of softball cricket” with numerous competitions running off almost every weekend with some night matches as well.
