THE Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Essequibo Cricket Board (ECB) could not take place on Sunday due to the lack of a quorum. According to the president Fizul Bacchus, the AGM has been postponed to a later date as only representatives of four area committees reported for the meeting.
It requires the participation of at least six of the eight area committees to fulfil the legal requirement for holding an AGM.
Those area committees attended were: East Bank Essequibo Cricket Committee (EBECC), North Essequibo Cricket Committee (NECC), Pomeroon Cricket Committee (PCC) and Central Essequibo Cricket Committee (CECC).
But according to Bacchus, there were no excuses for the other four area committees: Bartica Cricket Committee (BCC), Leguan Cricket Committee (LCC), South Essequibo Cricket Committee (SECC) and the Wakenaam Cricket Committee (WCC).
Prior to Sunday’s AGM, secretary of the ECB, Aotto Christiani, had contended that due procedures were followed regarding the Notice of Meeting. Notices were sent to all eight area committees,” Christiani said.
Asked when the notices were made available to the respective area committees, the ECB secretary said, “I can’t remember the specific date the Notices were sent out, since some of the Notices were by postal, but subsequently, I made contact via telephone to all area committees informing them of the meeting.”
