The annual Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) and Guyana Tennis Association Open lawn tennis tournament served off Friday evening at the GBTI Lawn Tennis Court and facilities, Bel Air, Georgetown.
Preceding the first match was a simple opening ceremony where members of both the association and the banking giant expressed their appreciation and delight to once again form a union to host the event.
First-vice President of the association, Cristy Campbell, expressed her gratitude on behalf of the executive of the sporting body for GBTI’s continued and unwavering support to the development of the sport.
Richard Isava – Executive Director and Pamela Binda – Public Relations and Marketing Director of the bank respectively, said company was pleased to be once again associated with the development of the sport which began over two decades ago.
GBTI first sponsored the tournament from 1989 – 1993 before returning to attach their brand to the tournament in 2010 to present. The bank’s sponsorship will afford participation of both junior and senior players in 14 categories in the two-week event which runs from June 7 – 23.
