At its annual general meeting held on Saturday March 11, the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) elected a committee packed with experienced members. The committee is hopeful that the accumulated experience will guide the club out of its current administrative rough patch.
The newly elected executive members of the LGC are from left; William Walker, Deanand Bissessar, Hilbert Shields, Esau Shamshudin, Brian Hackett and Parmanand “Max” Persaud
The newly elected president is Hilbert Shields who had enjoyed a well-regarded two-year tenure previously. Also elected as Vice-President was another former President Brian Hackett, the experienced Esau Shamshudin as Assistant Secretary/Treasurer, and Brian Glasford as captain (a role he has performed previously).
Deanand Bissessar is the Grounds Superintendent; Treasurer is Anand Persaud; and William Walker, the Public Relations Officer (PRO). The club’s immediate past PRO, Guy Griffith has agreed to stay on for a few months as secretary to help with the transition.
Shields thanked both the outgoing President Omcar Ramroop and the Secretary for the yeoman service they had given while in office. He also noted with some alarm how many members were not financially up to date but encouraged all those interested in furthering the game to get involved by joining various sub committees which he plans to set up shortly.
