GCB donates brush cutters to Christianburg Community Centre

The lawns of the Christianburg Community Centre Ground are expected to be maintained in the near future and onwards after the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) in its latest development drive on Wednesday donated a Honda brush cutter to Linden the Mayor Carwyn Holland.
GCB Treasurer Anand Kalladeen presented the equipment to Holland at a simple handing-over event. The brush cutter is intended to support the Linden Town Council’s initiative to resuscitate the Christianburg Community Centre Ground. The club, which was formerly a cricket club, continues to place heavy emphasis on cricket, as it seeks to target the sporting and recreational needs of youths in the community.
The Linden Town Council has recognised the need for development works to be carried out on the Christianburg CC Ground, and has taken a number of measures to address this critical issue. As a result of the interest demonstrated by the Council, the GCB has made this valuable donation, which is expected to be used in the preparation works on the Christianburg Ground and to assist with its upkeep.
The enhancement of the Christianburg CC is likely to promote the hosting of more quality matches in Linden, and, as a consequence, will be of great benefit to players of the Christianburg CC, as well as those from the surrounding communities.

It is not the first contribution by the GCB so that a cricket club in the Upper Demerara area could benefit. Bayroc has also been a recipient of a brush cutter and from all reports and observations, the tool has noticeably served as an invaluable asset to the Bayroc members.
Kalladeen, who is also the President of the East Demerara Cricket Association, along with GCB Territorial Development Officer (TDO) Colin Stuart, is scheduled to visit Linden to assess their current cricket structure so that further assistance can be given to the mining town.
