“W” for West Indies

UWI St. Augustine received a very special guest in March – West Indies cricket legend Sir Everton Weekes. Sir Everton, along with Sir Clyde Walcott and Sir Frank Worrell, made up the trinity of Barbados-born great batsman referred to as the “three Ws”. He was in Trinidad for the “Sir Frank Memorial Lecture”, held on March 10 at the Central Bank Auditorium, an event to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the passing of Sir Frank Worrell. Sir Everton was recognised with the Noble Spirit Award at the lecture. His visit to the Campus included a stop at the Sir Frank Worrell Cricket Ground at the Sports and Physical Education Centre (SPEC). He also met with Director of SPEC, Major David Benjamin and Campus Registrar Mr. Richard Saunders.
