Dear Editor,
THE New Highway Producers Co-operative Society Ltd does not have a policy that one must acquire a houselot first before being eligible for a five-acre plot of farmland.
In 2009, enrolment fees into the Society were:

Relative to his proposal, we do have in our files copies of the two proposals and complaints he made to the committee contrary to his claim that these documents were stolen. Both proposals came from Mr. Chance and not from a group of individuals.
No formal applications for membership were ever submitted by Mr. Chance to the Co-op Society.
One of the problems with his first proposal was that he used two names interchangeably: Andrew Chance and Andrew Prescott. It appeared as though Mr. Chance either did not know what his name was, or which one of his names to use. The committee was not comfortable with this.
His second proposal was submitted during the time of an Interim Committee of Management.
It is important to note that between the years 2010 and 2015, the Co-op Society and the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission agreed that no new applications for leases were to be submitted to the commission until some outstanding matters were resolved.
Mr. Chance was fully aware of this situation.
As a result of this situation, the elected Committee of Management did not issue any new allocations nor enrol any new members into the Co-op Society during this period of time. However, transfers of members wishing to move on were processed. We have in our files scores of new applications that could not be processed. A partial resolution of these matters was reached in the middle of 2016. An updated list of those transfers has been submitted to the committee for processing.
Mr. Chance has drawn and made some libellous conclusions which will be addressed at another forum.

Regards
George Brittlebank
