Prime Minister Gaston Browne has delivered on a pledge to the Bethesda Sports Club with the donation of a driver-operated lawn mower, providing much-needed support for the upkeep of the village playing field.
The equipment was officially handed over this month by Lynnette Thwaites, Administrative Assistant in the Office of the Prime Minister and a Bethesda native, who presented it on his behalf.
The promise was made earlier this year during a town-hall meeting in Bethesda, when club president Anthony “IRoots” Martin raised concerns about the challenges of maintaining the field. The Prime Minister responded by committing to provide the mower.
Club officials Martin, Vice President Dale Lawrence, Coach Howard Warner, and Groundsman Kenneth Charles accepted the mower and expressed appreciation for the gesture, noting that it will greatly improve the condition of the facility for both players and the wider community.
The Bethesda Sports Club plays an important role in nurturing young talent and promoting community sports, and members say the new equipment will help them continue this work more effectively.
Promise made promis kept. It may not come as soon as it’s made but it will and has been fulfilled.
Great work PM
Hope they don’t allow the much needed equipment to rotten
It’s now up to the recipients to put it to its intended use and to guard and protect it against the increasing number of rogues and vagabonds crawling out from the woodwork and/or washing up on our shores.
Antiguans and black people in general don’t take care of nothing. Let’s hope they cherish and put this in good use
Gaston always looks out for his people,even if it’s not urgent.once he says he going to do something he will do it,time for them to do their part and take care of the equipments
Great gift PM. Im sure they are happy
Ever faithful lynette. What a wonderful woman. Holding down that office like a Boss. Thanks PM
Actions speak louder than words, and this is a positive step. Sports clubs like Bethesda are key to keeping young people engaged and away from negative distractions.
