To see who is entitled to vote :

Clause 2, p. 5 defines “Voting Member” as an ordinary member or a life member for the time being of the Association who has paid up his Membership Subscription. so, only ordinary or “ordinary” life members can be voting members.

Clause 9, p. 6 defines the different categories of membership. (e) and (f) are Ordinary and Life Membership respectively.

Clause 31 – every voting member shall have one vote.

Clause 32 p. 9 provides that a Voting Member shall not have any voting right at any meeting if he has not paid his entrance fee or annual subscription fees to the Association for the year in whcih the meeting is held seven clear days prior to such meeting. so, as most memberships expired in August, we might have a small electorate BUT

by clause 8, save as otherwise determined by the Exco no member shall be entitled to enjoy the rights attached to his membership until he shall have paid his Entrance Fee, Membership Subscriptions etc.
by clause 2 p. 5 “Membership Subscription” means such sum(s) of money payable annually in each calendar year by an ordinary member etc… as the Exco may from time to time prescribe.

since we decided to extend all current memberships until the conclusion of AGM, there is no question of any overdue subscriptions.

Exco — Clause 35 p. 9 provides that the management of the affairs of the Association shall be vested in the Exco which consists of President, 2 VPs, Hon Sec, Hon Treasurer, Imm. Past Presdient, and not more than 10 members.

Votes – Clause 31, every voting member shall have one vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll.

Clause 33 – on a poll, votes may be given either personally or by proxy.

Here are the further comment from our Honorary Secretary:

I am absolutely shocked at the accusation made by Charlie, in particular the following which appears at 20:43:

“我曾經得到師友嘅支持，贊助咗一個唔細嘅數目比呢個足球會希望足球會發展得更加好嘅。 但係我喺 Exco 裡 邊就有好多嘅反對嘅聲音，而呢個聲音即係在座2位唔係足球會嘅都有表達佢地反對嘅聲音。。。。”

The fact of the matter is that there was no opposition from Exco as to generous donation. We were very grateful for a substantial donation. However, it was Charlie himself who said that the donor did not specify whether his donation was to be used for any specific activity. The matter was then left to Charlie to come up with budgets for all sporting events, after which it would be possible to discuss how and to which activities the donation would be earmarked. (2nd Exco Meeting on 3 October 2011)

At the next Exco meeing (7 November 2011) Charlie had still not prepared a budget for all the activities under his responsibility.

It was only at the 4th Exco Meeting (5 December 2011) that Charlie had the budget, and allocation, and reported that the donor supported the donation to be used for sporting events including football and basketball. This still being unclear, Charlie was asked whether the donor wanted to have his donation earmarked for sports and the newsletter.

It was on the 5th Exco Meeting (9 January 2012) that Charlie finally had the allocation and confirmation from the donor, and then there was further discussion in subsequent meetings about how that should be treated in the books.

These meetings were all minuted. I attach relevant extracts from such minutes which shows clearly that there was no opposition, just that we wanted to make sure that the money so generously provided would be used according to the wishes of the donor.

I am also extremely disappointed that Charlie would resort to making personal attacks against Arthur, accusing Arthur of wanting to be President just to get a name (recognition). This accusation is unjust, being based on only Arthur’s temporary absence from SSCAA Exco. This is not the SSC spirit “to live good lives and to be true, in everything we do or say”.

Grateful if you could help to clarify if there are any queries.

Best Regards
Robert
