FOR THE RECORD

IT was reported that former interim president Curt Hollingsworth seconded the motion that was made by former treasurer Laura Charlton in the “vote of no confidence” in the entire executive board of the Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations’ monthly meeting on Wednesday, November 6 at the original Thomas A Robinson Track and Field Stadium.

It was actually technical director Frank ‘Pancho’ Rahming. The Tribune apologises to Hollingsworth for the mistake.

Further to the motion put forth, a notice of an extraordinary meeting has been called for Thursday, November 28 at 7pm at the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture building.

The general nature of the business and agenda item will be the “vote of no confidence.”

However, BAAA president Mike Sands will be out of the country for an extended period on BAAA business attending the IAAF Council Meeting in Monaco, reporting on the state of readiness of the Bahamas in the hosting of the IAAF inaugural World Relays scheduled for May 24-25.
