THE fate of around 300 members, who claimed to have become Vidarbha Hockey Association’s (VHA) patrons and life members, hangs in balance as decision on the authenticity of their membership will be taken only after legal consultation and thorough examination of audited balance sheet of the association.
The decision was taken on Wednesday during the first executive committee meeting of the newly-elected body.
Hockey Lovers and Promoters Panel swept VHA elections last Sunday winning all the 13 posts in a keenly-contested poll.
Sarda was president of the association in 2005 and from 2006 BC Bhartia took charge before he was ousted in November 16 poll. During Bhartia’s regime maximum number of members were added as patrons and life members.
“The previous body claims to have enrolled several life members. We will seek legal opinion on the matter and will also thoroughly check the audited balance sheet of the association. Then only we will take any decision on their claims,” said Sarda, while talking to ‘The Hitavada’.
The new body also formed several committees. Though committee members are yet to be appointed it has been decided that the association will write letters to all 240 members asking them whether they would like to work in any of the above mentioned committees.
“This has been decided so that nobody would later say they were ignored immediately after the elections were over. Those interested will have to give in writing his/her willingness to work in any of the committees,” said Sarda.
The association also decided to invite PTIs of schools to discuss their difficulties and suggestions in developing hockey and increasing number of team in the city.
