REPRESENTATIVES from the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) – Franklin Wilson, President (ag.), and Noel Adonis, General Secretary – travelled to Berbice last Monday to address a number of issues arising from decisions taken at an AGM and Elections of office-bearers of the Berbice Football Association, conducted on March 16, 2013.
The GFF representatives met with the membership of the BFA, which included officials Keith O’Jeer, and Joseph Simon, along with representatives from several of the clubs registered with the association. The meeting was cordial and constructive and, after some deliberation on the options available, it was agreed to declare the recently held elections void and with no effect, and to proceed with new elections immediately, following appropriate notice being given.
Accordingly, the date identified by the membership for new elections is April 9, 2013, from 17:00hrs at the BFA Office in New Amsterdam, Berbice. Member clubs agreed to produce and present appropriate financial statements and will be given opportunity to present nominations in writing for candidates for the various positions on the Executive Committee of the BFA no later than seven (7) days prior to the date of the elections.
Nominations from the floor will only be allowed in instances where no written nomination was received by the stipulated time.
It was established that five of the seven clubs present at the meeting are likely to be participating in the elections.
