Blairmont Cricket Club receives support from corporate society

The Blairmont Cricket Club has received a substantial contribution from Baksh Travel Service, Hand in Hand Insurance Company, and New Building Society.

In the beginning of 2017, executives of this club had name this year “The Year of the Youths”, and had set the first initiative to be ensuring that all youth teams’ players are attired in proper uniform when playing cricket.

Baksh Travel Service has donated 15 sets of uniforms to the Blairmont Under-15 Team, while Bel Air Farm Equipment and Machinery Supplies has donated 15 sets to the Blairmont Under-17 Team, and the Hand in Hand Insurance Company has done similarly for the Under-19 Team.

The New Building Society has, moreover, presented the club with a monetary donation of undisclosed value.

The club president has thanked all sponsors for their investment in the club, and assures that the contribution of every single donor is beneficial to the youths.

The club will continue to engage its members this year in activities during Easter and summer, and there will be Christmas camps, sporting and educational field trips. Although the club’s main focus is on maintaining and developing sports, the youths are also educated on topics relevant to society and their roles; for example suicide, peer pressure and behavioural patterns, etc. There are 52 youngsters under the age of 17 currently in the club.

The club will be hosting its an annual awards ceremony on May 19, 2017. Besides members being awarded for their contributions to the club, outstanding members of society would also be awarded as well. Conscious of its social responsibility, the club had in former times rendered assistance in the form of health care to schools and unfortunate individuals. The club encourages youths to go to school and partake in plans and events to help in their meaningful occupation, and at the same time benefit the community and country at large.
