THE Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) will host its annual General Meeting and Elections. It is believed that a new president and probably an entire new executive will take office to handle the game in the city.
Clubs and nominees for the positions of president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and assistant secretary/treasurer, will all gather at Duke Lodge today from 12:30hrs.
Dynas Ravens, TGH Pacesetters, Colts, Pepsi Sonics, Republic Bank Nets, Eagles, UG Trojans, Plaisance Guardians, Knights, Melanie Patriots are the affiliated clubs while other teams who can observe are Buxton Heat and West Side Jammers.
President Michael Singh had long stated that he will not be seeking re-election to the position he served with distinction since being elected on January 26, 2013.
The Paladin Security Firm owner was unanimously voted in after receiving nominations from Pacesetters and Colts basketball clubs of which he is the president.
Singh believes that he could have done more to help the game in the capital, if he had financial support from the corporate community.
The reasons are not fully known for Singh not seeking re-election. However there is proof that under his tenure as president, the association was the most active of the other affiliates of the GABF.
