Rikhi who handed over the donations stated that the former members of the Club would also be grateful to the RHTY&SC for the role it played in their development on and off the cricket field. The RHTY&SC, he stated is the only organisation in Guyana where membership is free and where members are provided with everything free of cost to fulfil their potentials on the cricket field.
Additionally, less fortunate members are also assisted as necessary, so that they can complete their educational careers while the Club executives provide the necessary mentoring to enable players to stay away from a life of crime, drugs and alcohol. Moonish Singh served as the Office Manager of the RHTY&SC, M.S for over a decade and represented the Club at the Under 15, Under 17, Under 19 and Second Division levels. Rikhi, a former Berbice and Guyana Under 15 and Under 19 player represented the RHTY&SC at all levels. He also captained Berbice at the Under 21 level.

Batson, who has the most runs and centuries in the history of the Club, is also a former Berbice opening Batsman.
Vice President Mark Papannah, who chaired the presentation ceremony, noted that the Club’s executive was pleased that former members are coming on board to support the 2017 list of activities.
