The Garrison, St. Michael, Barbados. Tel: (246) 426-5373  Fax: 429-8483 History In the 1960s at a time when the impact of development activities on Caribbean environments was beginning to be visible, intrusive and troublesome, a number of groups and individuals concerned with the conservation of the region's natural resources and cultural heritage, conceived the idea for the formation of a conservation group for the Caribbean region. With support from Laurence Rockefeller, who in the 1950's had purchased two-thirds of St. John (to the US Virgin Islands) and donated it for establishment of a National Park, a regional survey on conservation problems was carried out by Dr Carl Carlozzi of the University of Massachusetts. One of the first organizations to take concrete action to address on a regional basis the environmental problems brought by development, was the research wing of the then College of the Virgin Islands the Caribbean Research Institute. Established in October 1965, one of the CRI's first significant projects was the joint sponsorship of the Eastern Caribbean Conservation Conference on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands along with the American Conservation Association, headed by Mr Rockefeller, and the Government of the U.S.V.I. The conference focused on the Carlozzi findings and was titled "Conservation in the Eastern Caribbean." It generated a sequence of activities throughout the region relating to conservation programmes and environmental activities. Particularly it recognized the need for international planning and cooperation in meeting the conservation requirements of the region and concluded its deliberations by recommending the establishment of a regional body to help meet these needs.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MEET The CUT Track and Field Championships was a result of the CUT’s recognition of the need to provide the young athletes aged 8-15 years with some regional competition. There was also recognition by the CUT that sports have a significant role to play in the regional integration process. These particular Championships would bring together the students and teachers of the Caribbean for a few days of friendly competition camaraderie and co-operation. The Caribbean Union of Teachers Biennial Track and Field Championships was first organized in Barbados in 1986. The participating countries at the inaugural Meet were Anguilla, Bahamas, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Grenada, Guyana, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and host, Barbados. They competed for the Jean Perisco Trophy. Barbados made capital of the fact that they were at home and won the Championships. The success of the inaugural Meet led to a CUT decision to develop the Championships into a biennial affair. It was also agreed that the Championships would be organized by the Teachers’ Union of the host nation. This extends to the host seeding sponsorship to help meet local expenses. Member Unions desirous of participating are required to meet their respective cost of their teams. This includes airfares.

The European wars for territories in the Caribbean reached a high point in the 1790s. The French Revolution of 1789 added a civil war to the equation. Revolt reigned in the islands, in St. Lucia, Grenada, Dominica, among the maroons - former slaves who had taken to the Blue Mountains of Jamaica’s central range -, and most violent of all, in Haiti. There was heavy fighting in the Eastern Caribbean. British troops took Martinique in 1794. A month or two later, they landed in Guadeloupe. There, the British came up against Victor Hugues, leader of the French Revolution in the Caribbean. He had sailed from Marseilles, France, the year before. His squadron attacked the British in 1795 in Basseterre and forced them out of Guadeloupe by the end of that year. Victor Hugues set to work to drive the British out of these islands and to convert people to the cause of the revolution of republican France. Agents were sent to St. Vincent. Troops were sent in after the agents, and before long the English were hard pressed to keep Kingstown, while the French, made up of black and coloured troops, and the Caribs held the rest of the island.

Email : svgrugby@hotmail.com HISTORY OF RUGBY IN ST. VINCENT The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Rugby Union Football Club (SVGRUFC) came into existence on Sunday 18 th January 1998, when the first game of touch rugby, was played at the Scion Hill playing field using four traffic cones as pitch markers. This all came about following a chance conversation between the incumbent President and the girlfriend (fiancée) of Kirk Hobson Garcia at a Christmas party. She had complained bitterly how she missed “her man” being able to do those “silly man things” on a Sunday morning. This stimulated an expatriate Englishman -Mr. John Townend- to return from his Christmas 1997 vacation with plenty of enthusiasm and two (rugby) balls. He contacted two Antipodean expatriates: - Mr. Kelly Glass, a highly accomplished rugby player from South Island, New Zealand and Mr. Geoff Hyde, an Australian tourism adviser, suggesting a game of touch rugby the following Sunday morning. There were seven (7) players at the first game; - Mr. Carver Alexander, Ernst De Freitas, Kelly Glass, Kirk Hobson-Garcia, Geoff Hyde, John Townend and Delon Williams, a local rastafarian who later became known as “Speedy”.

16. The History Of CARICOM Kitts/Nevis/Anguilla, Saint lucia and st. 1967 Heads of Government Conference wasthe establishment of the Commonwealth Caribbean regional Secretariat on http://www.caricom.org/history.htm

THE HISTORY OF CARICOM T he establishment of the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) was the result of a 15-year effort to fulfil the hope of regional integration which was born with the establishment of the British West Indies Federation in 1958. It was a Federal Government drawn from 10 member islands. Although a plan for a Customs Union was drawn up, emphasis was not placed on economic aspects of Federation during the four years of its existence. Economically the Region remained as it had been for centuries and not even Free Trade was introduced between the Member Countries during this period. The West Indies Federation came to an end in 1962 but its end, in many ways must be regarded as the real beginning of what is now the Caribbean Community. T he end of the Federation meant the beginning of more serious efforts on the part of the political leaders in the Caribbean to strengthen the ties between the islands and mainland by providing for the continuance and strengthening of the areas of cooperation that existed during the Federation. To this end in mid-1962 a Common Services Conference was called to take decisions on these services, the major ones among them being the University of the West Indies (UWI), founded in 1948 and the Regional Shipping Services set up during the Federation to control the operation of the two ships donated in 1962 by the government of Canada - the Federal Palm and the Federal Maple.

THE DOMINICA OLYMPIC COMMITTEE History The idea of formation of a National Olympic Committee evolved from the existing and functional Dominica Amateur Athletic Association (DAAA) and Dominica Lawn Tennis Association (DLTA). The Dominica Amateur Athletic Association was founded by Oswald B. Savarin and Felix A. Wilson in December 1982 responding to the call for its formation by Stephen Agar and Julius Lewis, two athletes of the Striders Athletics Club. Between late November 1985 and early 1986 a few sporting Associations were invited to the Sixth Form College (as it was called then) to a meeting to explore the formation of an Olympic Committee. Rupert Lake from Antigua gave some guidelines based on his experience and participation as an officer of the Antigua Olympic Committee. A Steering Committee to include Rolston St. Hilaire (secretary) and Felix Wilson (vice president) from the (DAAA), Joyce Rabess (Netball), Clifford Severin (DLTA) (treasurer) and Francis Dupigny (president). Dupigny became the first President nominated by Clifford Severin and elected in absentia.
