Ousted Presdient Jean Bertrand Aritisde is invited to address the Assembly at this meeting. There are also reports on the meeting of the final Regional Constituent Assembly taking place in Grenada and on the views of the secretary of the assembly on the gains made at the assembly's meetings. The President of the West Indian Cricket Board ends his official visit to South Africa, the purpose of which was to formally establish connections with the new South African cricket authorities and to obtain first hand account of the attempts to rid the sport of any links to apartheid.
