2011 Pan Caribbean Sigma Corporate Run was a hit!!
After an intense period of regis-
tration and organization , the
participation of the CVM Sports
Club in this years Pan Caribbean
Sigma Corporate Run became a
reality. CVM Sports Club Mem-
bers, other staff and friends
came out in their numbers to
support this worthy event that
has been a major calendar staple
in Jamaica for corporate, non-
corporate and private individuals
for 13 years.
At first it seemed as if it would
be an uphill battle to organize a
group from CVM but, despite
the slow start and after passion-
ate internal promotion and a
little help from Facebook, the
entries came pouring in. 15.2
million dollars was raised for the
Victoria Jubilee Hospital neo-
natal clinic. CVM Sports Club
was represented well with 50
participants dedicated to taking
on the challenge for charity. The
5.6 km ( 3.5 mile) event was held
on Sunday, February 20, starting
at Pan Caribbean, New Kingston,
with three different races—walk,
run and wheelchair.
A new fresh CVM Sports Club!
CVM Sports Club promises to
be electrifying in 2011! We hope
to foster a sense of camaraderie,
fun and integration throughout
the year. This administration
pledges to produce innovative
events guaranteed to leave you
wanting more. Over the years
the sports club has had a tradi-
tion of staging a variety of excit-
ing projects and we plan to con-

are in order for Horace Burrey,
of St Catherine, the overall male
winner of the event. He finished
in a blazing time of 18:15 min-
utes. Maxine Lindo was the over-
all female winner crossing the
line in 22:38 minutes. Congratu-
lations are also in order for
Wayne Walker who was the first
member of the CVM Sports
Club team to cross the line with
a time of 27:43 minutes. Kudos
must also be given to Ian Harris
who did not run with the Sports
Club but clocked a decent time
of 26:32 minutes.
Our participation was quite
impressive for a first attempt at
short notice. Next year will
definitely see us putting up an
even larger team to challenge
the champions!
According to Renee Gordon
from the Accounts Department,
the event was “ exhilarating and

menting many more. Some of
our new projects include the
production of this newsletter
and the establishment of „houses‟

The “House” System

And the winner is……..
In keeping with the new mandate
for a new, fresh and exciting
sports club, a system of
“Houses” for the first time was
introduced. Staff members were
randomly divided into teams that
would compete against each
other in various events including
sports and other competitions.
Voting was open for staff to
choose names for the three (3)
houses, represented by the col-
ours Red, Yellow and Blue. Some
excellent names were proposed:
(1) Blazers, Sunrise, Mystic.
(2) Blythe, Graham, Little-White.
(3) Amber, Aqua, Scarlett.
(4) Trendy Phoenix, Golden
Touch, Sea Breeze
(5) Viper, Pythons, Trail-Blazers.
(6) Question Time, Probe, Direct.
After the votes were tallied Blaz-
ers (Red), Sunrise (Yellow) and
Mystic (Blue) came out the most
popular and therefore assigned
the official names of our brand
new “houses”. A new calendar
event will be Sports Day sched-
uled for April. You can‟t miss it!
Keep it locked to our Facebook
page for info on other inter-
house competitions such as
debating competitions, sound
clashes, domino competitions,
Kalooki Tournaments and more!
