Lack of $$ stalls Morvant Games

LACK of support by the business community has forced Morvant Jets Athletic Club to postpone their 25th annual championships. According to secretary/treasurer Kelvin Roberts, contributions from the business community was not as we expected. “Therefore we have to review our programme for the day, by dropping the invitation events,” said Roberts. The games were scheduled for Sunday at the Morvant Recreation Grounds, Park Street, Morvant. But Roberts said they were forced to put back the games to August 10 instead, when they will also draw their fund-raising raffle.

He said the 37-year-old Morvant club was very disappointed in having to postpone their championships, but still have plans to honour their founders when the games are held on August 10. Roberts thanked the media for their support and also the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs, Neal and Massy Motors Ltd., and TTEC for their contributions so far.
