W/Cup 2007 summit in St Lucia

CASTRIES, St Lucia:  Venue development director for the Cricket World Cup 2007, Donald Lockerbie is in St Lucia to hold discussions ahead of the first World Cup Summit to be held in St Lucia.

During Wednesday’s visit, Lockerbie was expected to finalise plans for the hosting of the summit in St Lucia this month. The dates originally announced for Venue Summit have been changed due to scheduling conflicts. The new dates for the summit are now September 26-28. The summit is expected to bring approximately 60 representatives from the different ICC Test playing countries as well as ten members of the tournament organising committee to the island. Hosting of the first summit of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 in St Lucia is a very important achievement for the island, which has only recently become a player in international cricket and sports tourism. During the venue summit, the ICC delegation is also expected to take a tour of the Beausejour Cricket Ground.
