Sports programme for Bartica Easter Regatta taking shape…NSC and BK Int. lend financial hand
Residents and fans of the Bartica Easter Regatta are gearing up for what is shaping up to be an enthralling time with the list of sporting events set to commence on Saturday March 17 with Gymkhana at the Bartica Community Center ground.
According to the Bartica Development Business Association (BDBA) which has acquired the rights to organise this year’s Regatta activities, they are pulling out all the stops to ensure that all the activities both sports and otherwise are professionally and meticulously put together for the enjoyment of the athletes and fans.

To this end, the BDBA has embarked on a robust sponsorship drive to garner the requisite funds that will ensure top class activities are held. The committee has disclosed that sponsorship so far has been received from the Government of Guyana, Guyana Tourism Authority, Banks DIH Ltd., Ansa McAl, Aruwai Resort, Palm Spring Hotel, Rich Kid Music, Ramchan’s Auto Sales, BK International, Boodhoo’s General Store, ExxonMobil, GBTI, Guyana Gold Board, H.A Snacks, National Sports Commission, Small Business Bureau, Western Union Money Transfer and the Guyana Gold Diamond Miners Association (GGDMA).
