Letter to the Sports Editor...WHAT A SHAME, MR. HARPER

Letter to the Sports Editor…WHAT A SHAME, MR. HARPER

Apr 13, 2014 Sports

Dear Sports Editor,
The Cricket Clubs of Georgetown should express their dissatisfaction about what transpired at a Special General Meeting of the Georgetown Cricket Association, Chaired by Mr. Roger Harper.
This meeting was called specially to set the date for an Annual General Meeting of the GCA after the Chief Justice, The Honourable Justice Chang, agreed with a member that a resolution passed by Roger Harper was illegal and cannot be relied upon.
The Plaintiff in that matter agreed to let the members decide on a new date outside of January, as required by the GCA Constitution, and that the notice period of one month be given to members.
To the astonishment of the cricket playing clubs of Georgetown Cricket Association present at the meeting, Mr. Harper and his cohorts decided to call the AGM until November of this year, contrary to the intentions of the CJ Order.
This is gross disrespect for members of the GCA and their constitution as constitutional changes require 2/3 majority. We ask the question, what if Mr. Harper decided, by a simple majority, that the GCB AGM should be held in November 2020? Should we agree with that? This is utter nonsense and the cricket playing clubs of Georgetown must take action.
The Six (6) major clubs have some of the best facilities amongst Georgetown based clubs, and any Georgetown team is normally made up of several members of our clubs. Many of the clubs that gave Mr. Harper a mandate to stay in power until around the end of November have no grounds, no facilities and some do not play any cricket. Yet, Mr. Harper, who professes to care about cricket is happy to take a mandate to perpetuate himself into power without elections.
I wish to reiterate for the understanding of the public that the Georgetown Cricket Association has not had elections since January 2012. The constitution provides for elections to be held in January of every year and this was upheld by the Chief Justice and never challenged by Mr. Harper and his Executives.
Mr. Harper, What level of cricket does Diplomats, Ace Warriors, and YMCA play?
It is time that we take charge of our affairs!
I intend to do everything possible to stop this sad situation and ensure that our Youths have a chance.
Yours in Sports,
Concerned Cricket Administrator.
