Grantley Culbard elected President at DCU&SA Elections

Feb 13, 2011 Sports

Grantley Culbard was elected President of the Demerara Cricket Umpires & Scorers Association (DCUSA) when that body held its Annual General Meeting and Elections at CCWU building last Thursday.
New Regional Umpire Nigel Duguid was elected as Culbard’s Vice-President while Nolan Hawke is the Secretary and Sean Devers the Public Relations Officer. Colin Alfred, Matthew Kissoon and Ernest Hinds will serve as Committee members.
The meeting reviewed the activities of the past year and elected a new Executive Committee to run the Association’s affairs over the next year.
The meeting decided not to fill the positions of Treasurer and Assistant Secretary/Treasurer until February 28 since the only two nominees for the posts did not attend the meeting or send letters saying that they would accept the position if elected, in keeping with the Association’s constitution.
The new President said that, from observation, the best run unit of the Association is the Georgetown Cricket Umpires & Scorers Association (GCU&SA) and there is need to try and assist the other units to operate at a similar level.
Culbard informed that the business ahead would include working to strengthen the weaker units and have dialogue with the Demerara Cricket Board (DCB), as soon as that body resolves its own problems, to look after the interests of umpires and scorers.
Emphasis will also be placed on attracting and training younger persons to take up duties in umpiring and scoring.
The President added that fund-raising activities will be planned to assist as many DCUSA members as possible to attend the West Indies Cricket Umpires Association Convention in St. Lucia in July.
