Matters Arising
Mr. Jeff Richards maintained that the Club had not conformed to the CONSTITUTION by changing the name of the club without holding an EGM of members.
This had not been possible during the long period of restrictions imposed by Covid.
He felt a minority had decided on the move which was not actually the case.
After the meeting the Secretary was later able to retrieve a What’s App Notification dated August 2020 informing everyone about the forthcoming move to Parc Howard and consulting everyone regarding the proposal for name change.
It stated that ‘should there be any objections then we would need to re-consider.’
No objections were offered from a single member including Mr. Richards.
As the League required notice to proceed for the coming season it was agreed to proceed by the officers of the Club .
The policy will always remain to obtain a majority opinion on significant matters of importance to members.
At the end of the meeting, on behalf of members, Mr. Eldon Phillips thanked the officers of the club for their efforts and commitment during the season
