"Colombian Emeralds International (CEI) recognizes the importance of promoting the Antigua & Barbuda product.

This event will bring amateur golfers from over 30 countries worldwide to compete, share cultures and capture memories. Colombian Emeralds International (CEI) is pleased to part of this event as we view it as an excellent avenue for our local golfers to showcase their talents to the public and then to the world. This year, the addition of Caribbean teams will add another exciting feature to the event,” states Éliane Matthews, Senior Promotions Manager| Marketing.
 

Zorol Barthley of Golf Experience Caribbean, the organisers of the Inet International Pairs Caribbean Tournament adds that this event is more than a competition: “One of the joys of hosting this event is that we are able to raise money and awareness for a deserving individual and this year we will be having a silent auction for Jeremiah "Tini" Henry.


Jeremiah (Tini) Henry meets Sir Gary Sobers. Henry was burnt by by the oil from the hot mix truck whilst working for the Public Works Department. 
                                  

Our corporate partners and individuals have willingly donated items that will help us to meet our target. And I wish to thank them for their unwavering belief and support of our tournament.”
 

The silent auction will take place during the awards ceremony and cocktail at the Ciboney Room, Halcyon Hotel on Saturday, September 08.
