MSC forging the way forward

– rehabilitation in blueprints

The current Management Committee of the Mackenzie Sports Club has outlined plans for the staging of its annual general meeting (AGM) and elections for the club, as it seeks to regain its place as a properly constituted body in Linden.
Initially owned by the Demerara Bauxite Company (DEMBA), the club was opened as a members club in 1956, and has become an institution for sports and recreational activities in the mining town for decades. Its facilities are due for rehabilitation soon.
The Management Committee has recently put in place a menu of measures which would also see plans to increase the club’s membership and improvement of its image, which had been sullied for various reasons in the past.
On Wednesday, April 24, there will be, from 17:00 hrs, a briefing of all the club’s members on plans to have its AGM set for June this year.
After Wednesday’s planned ordinary members’ meeting, for members who are financial and for those in arrears, it will be made known whether they have brought themselves up-to-date with their dues by May 3rd.
Then there is planned a special general members’ meeting on June 16th, to finalise plans with the financial members to attend. At that meeting, plans will be outlined in regard to the holding of the club’s annual general meeting and elections on June 30th.
Meanwhile, based on the Rules of the MSC, it was pointed out that, on Tuesday last, at a management committee meeting chaired by club president Avery Trim, it was unanimously decided that an amnesty period be placed for errant members.
“Those members who have not paid their monthly dues dating back to 2016 and beyond will have to pay their dues from 2016 to present”, if they wish to participate in the upcoming AGM.
Members are therefore asked to check on the club’s notice board for information, or with the club’s steward at the club’s location: 464 Greenheart Street, Mackenzie, Linden, for further information on their current status, or call 444-3233.
