Vasdev Bob Roopnarine of Trinidad and Tobago has been named secretary general of the Caribbean Area Table Tennis Federation (CRTTF).
Roopnarine was one of six individuals chosen to serve on the new executive committee at the recent annual general meeting of the CRTTF in Georgetown, Guyana.
Twelve nations attended the AGM, which was held at the Guyana Olympic Committee’s Olympic House.
According to a statement by Roopnarine, outgoing treasurer Ian Joseph of TT was praised for “being able to reach out to nations in arrears and update affiliations.”
John Pilgrim of Barbados received praise for his important assistance throughout his tenure as second vice-president during the previous four years.
A moment of silence was held during the AGM in memory of the late Verna Edwards of Trinidad and Tobago, who made significant contributions to the region of the Caribbean as both a player and an ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation) blue-badge umpire.
Roopnarine is an experienced ping pong administrator, one of the 31 ITTF board members, and the former general secretary of the TT Table Tennis Association.
