WIPA, its Executive and Members and the Lay Management Group extend their heart-felt and sincerest condolences to parents of the cricket fans who perished tragically in last Saturday’s calamitous vehicular accident. It has expressed its great shock and deep sadness. The pain of this sudden and unexpected loss is even more distressing on learning that the victims were on their way to witness the cricket and football games—Balls of Fire-- which the players’ representative body and the LAY Management Group had organized at the Queen’s Park Oval to raise funds for charity and to expose spectators, especially the younger ones, to some of the well-known Caribbean craftsmen in the games. Among the Directors of LAY Management are Brian Lara and Dwight Yorke. They together with Dinanath Ramnarine, and Daren Ganga participated in the games. |
