Cricket Association begs forgiveness as AGM is deferred

THE EXECUTIVE OF the St Vincent and the Grenadines Cricket Association (SVGCA) Inc. is once again pleading with its affiliates as the national Cricket organization has been tardy in its commitment to hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) within the ambit of its constitution.

A letter dated January 26, 2026, signed by General Secretary, Samuel Holder, informed affiliates of the deferral of the AGM.

“For the second consecutive year, we must beg your indulgence regarding the Association’s delay in convening our Annual General Meeting (AGM) within the constitutionally stipulated time frame,” the letter to affiliates stated.

Holder noted that at the heart of the delay is the perennial issue of the timely availability of the audited statements” According to the letter, “President Dougal James has indicated his unwillingness to convene any meeting without the audited financial statements”.

Holder further explained that the “AGM is likely to be scheduled for the latter part of February at the earliest”.

The long-standing secretary of the SVGCA Inc assured affiliates that “A two-week notice will be issued to all teams/clubs once the date has been finalized”.

The AGM when called will elect a new executive to administer the affairs of the SVCA Inc for the next two years.

At that elective meeting, one member of the outgoing executive, Jenry Ollivierre, who has served the organization as treasurer for many years, will not be seeking re-election.
