The
annual Sports Journalists’ Association of The Gambia (SJAG) Family Fun Day Out
is slated for next Saturday, 5 August at the Sand Beach next to Palma Rima
Beach.
The
annual outing is meant to bring sports journalists together to socialize and
have fun outside their busy work.
This
year’s outing will be preceded by a two-hour symposium to mark the belated
International Sports Journalists’ Day (ISJD) observed 2nd July annually.
The
symposium would avail sports journalists the opportunity to discuss on the
current state of sports journalism in the country and the way forward.
The
sports journalists will also discuss about their association, SJAG.
Solicitor
General Cherno Marenah will be making a presentation on “Sports Press in Our
New Democracy”.
All
sports journalists are urged to attend the ‘fun day out’ and interact with
colleagues. The symposium starts at mid-day and will last for two hours. Sports
journalists will then walk down to the beach.
Usually
attended by members of the association from the print and electronic media, and
acquaintances, the beach party will see members put their different sporting
skills to test, with food and drinks available in abundance.
