Baron Foods on board BCB Dave Martin Cricket Development Concert

The outstanding work of the Hilbert Foster- led Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) continues to attract support from overseas-based Guyanese. Chief Executive Officer of Baron Foods, Ronald Ramjattan, has become the latest overseas-based Guyanese to support the BCB, by making a financial contribution towards hosting a Cricket Development Concert which would feature legendary Guyanese Singer Dave Martins.
All proceeds from this Concert, slated for the compound of the New Amsterdam Technical Institute on November 3, 2018, would go towards development of youth and female cricket in the Ancient County.
BCB President, Hilbert Foster, who is spearheading the planning for this historic Concert, has expressed delight at the support coming from Ramjattan. This sponsorship from the St Lucia-based company was obtained by International Cricket Commentator Joseph ‘Reds’ Perreira, who recently visited Berbice as a

special guest of the BCB.
Martin has committed to performing for one hour at the Concert, which is expected to attract thousands of Berbicians who are excited to see the legendary international singer live on stage. He is known worldwide for songs like, “We are the Champions, Honey Mooning Couple, Not a Blade of Grass, A Man and a bunch of Animals, Cricket in the Jungle, Copy Cat, Boyhood Days, and Come back again”.
Joseph ‘Reds’ Perreira, who handed over the donation to former BCB President Anil Beharry on behalf of Baron Foods, also arranged the services of Martin, and is currently working on other fundraising ventures.
Beharry has expressed gratitude to both Perreira and Ramjattan for the sponsorship. He noted that, in addition to planning twenty-two cricket tournaments in 2018, dozens of cricket-related developmental programmes were also staged.
It is understood that the BCB’s huge overhead expenses include rental, GPL and GTT bills, office staff salaries, and transportation costs, among other things.
The Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS, has assisted the Berbice Cricket Board by pumping in more than $1.5million of its own funds to assist the Board to stay afloat financially.
