Pat Cash coaching at Buccament Bay Resort this October!
Pat Cash with guests – April 2014
Australian tennis legend and former Wimbledon Champion, Pat Cash, will be coaching Buccament Bay Resort’s extremely lucky guests from 28th October to 4th November, 2014.
The Pat Cash Tennis Club provides individual and group lessons for children and adults, whatever their standard and ability. Its two courts are also available for guests to hire when coaching is not taking place.
The unique coaching programme has been developed by the legend himself, drawing on his many years of experience in an illustrious playing career, knowledge gained from coaching on professional tours, and applying his analytical approach. Whether a racket is a constant companion or a total stranger, all players are encouraged to enjoy themselves and develop their skills.
Pat Cash oversees the club and regularly visits throughout the year to provide coaching and play in exhibition matches; however, the club’s resident head coach, Kelvin Orsi, has been taught by Pat to employ the techniques he uses when coaching up-and-coming players, thus ensuring all guests experience tennis coaching the Pat Cash way.

The St Vincent and the Grenadines Carnival, or Vincy Mas as it’s known, is arguably the country’s most important event and one of the Caribbean’s principal cultural celebrations. This year’s event is even more special to Buccament Bay Resort because Jamilla Neverson, one of the Resort’s wonderful Front Office Agents, is competing in the Miss SVG 2014 contest!
Jamilla Neverson – Miss SVG 2014 contestant
Jamilla is up against seven other contestants to take the Miss SVG crown and win a university scholarship. Discover more about Jamilla and her fellow Miss SVG contestants on the official website.
Miss SVG 2014 contestants
Encompassing a joyous medley of activities ranging from the Miss SVG beauty contest and costume parades to street parties and live performances, Vincy Mas carnival reflects the country’s proud diversity, rich heritage and strong identity as “the Jewels of the Caribbean” (that’s the 32 islands and cays that constitute SVG).
Being based in the unspoilt paradise of St Vincent & The Grenadines, it’s no surprise that Vincy Mas is regarded as the last true Caribbean carnival that’s untainted by mass commercialism. As a result, it attracts visitors in their droves from around the Caribbean, Europe and North America.
For 2014, the carnival runs from 27th June to 8th July, but the official launch takes place on 3rd May. A place like SVG cannot possibly pack of all its vitality and cultural riches into just one-and-a-half weeks, after all!
