During the day there will be fun activities managed by a Trini Match Organizer. As well as a traditional cricket match which will run simultaneously in the afternoon session. All the children of our UWI staff will be specially catered for in a fun play area under adult supervision throughout the day. There will be: Water slides, Video games, Water Park, Bouncy castle, Balloon typhoon, Clowns, Face painting and Basketball. Food and snacks will also be provided in this area for the children.
For those who are not athletically inclined and would rather just enjoy the fun, relaxing atmosphere, you can visit the board game area. You will find games to amuse you, to test you or just to have fun regardless of age. Cutters will be provided for the adults throughout the venue. These include doubles, corn soup, pholourie and French fries.
So don’t forget to come out in your numbers and colours to support your team, to cheer them on, to have fun and to sample the hands of our UWI cooks at our Family Day on Thursday 22nd May, 2008!
