Nov 12, 2022 Sports

Kaieteur News – Cool Crew Promotion and the A Team, which involves itself in catalyzing social and cultural events and functions within the Village of Victoria for the educational uplift and social development of youths as a positive alternative to unsocial and detrimental behaviour, is involved in current activities to celebrate the 183^rd Anniversary of the East Coast Demerara Village of Victoria.

The A-Team, which has been promoting and managing events on the East Coast of Demerara over the years, has rolled a package of events which commenced on November 7th and will run until November 27th.

The programme opened with a Church Service on the 7^th and continues with several activities that include sporting events: Domino, Football, Basketball and Cricket competitions, quiz competitions for area schools, Sound Clash and Karaoke competitions among other events. The programme will conclude on the 27^th with a family fun day and cookout.

Etched in national memory is the historically momentous event of November 1839 when 83 formerly enslaved men and women pooled their money and resources and purchased Plantation Northbrook, later renamed Victoria in honour of Queen Victoria. The rest is our history of the Village Movement and later political developments culminating in the attainment of the country’s republican status.

The Program aims to galvanize Villagers to play new roles in the development of their community in harmony with Neighbourhood Democratic Council, the Region 4 Administration, and Central Government. T
