With all committee business being put to the following AGM, there are no significant minutes to circulate.
Please find below a redacted version of the proposal as shown and the result of the ensuing vote at the AGM
R Hendry on behalf of Sighthill B.C. proposed that, “West Edinburgh Bowling Association consider the inclusion of Women in the present structure of the Association”.
He went on to give a detailed explanation as to the reasoning behind the proposal. A discussion then ensued, in respect of limited access to teams and leagues, culminating in the opinion that should the proposal be upheld, women would have unrestricted access to everything.
With C Jamieson (Gorgie Mills) seconding the proposal, the Secretary, C Brown then called a vote on the proposal. The Result was as follows, 6 clubs voting for the proposal (Balerno, Colinton, Fountain, Gorgie Mills, Juniper Green and Sighthill.) and 5 clubs voting against. (Ardmilan, Bainfield, Carrickknowe, Currie and Slateford.) The proposal that Women have unrestricted access as members of the West Edinburgh Bowling Association, was duly passed.
Alex Scott and I have now left the executive committee and have been replaced by Sunny Ali
from Bainfield as Match Secretary an Robbie Hendry, Sighthill, as secretary.
On behalf of Alex and myself, we wish the incoming executive committee every success and good wishes for the future and the growth of the “Association”
