The Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) Annual General Meeting (AGM) which was scheduled to occur on Sunday at the National Racquet Centre, Woolford Avenue but was postponed until February 25 due to not having the required quorum.
Outgoing GRFU President Peter Green
The AGM would have also been used to elect their new two-year executive after the Peter Green led body tenure time expired. It is understood that the union needed at least 16 persons to commence the business of the day at 11:00 hrs but at 11:30 hrs they were only about nine persons present.
Prior to polling day, there was talk circulating that former presidents Christopher ‘Kit’ Nascimento and Noel Adonis would launch a challenge for the presidency. Green in an interview with this publication had stated he is willing to “step aside” and let someone else take up the mantle.
At the last elections in September 2015, Green returned unopposed as president while John Lewis, the former senior vice-president has been replaced by Joshua Griffith. Elwin Chase was elected to serve as junior vice-president, replacing Alwin Etwah.
Petal Adams replaced long-serving member Terrence Grant as secretary and Keith White was named treasurer, after Roger Pereira declined re-election.
Ryan Dey (Assistant secretary/treasurer), Esan Griffith (Public Relations Officer) and Shane Grant-Stewart (Match secretary) were the other elected members while Daniel Anderson, Sabola Gray and Delroy Gordon were the committee members.
