The 101st Annual General Meeting of the RWITC held on 12th September
With both the Committee and Board of Appeal for the year 2016-17 elected unopposed, barely 150 members turned up for the 101st AGM of the RWITC held on Monday.
Mr. Zavaray Poonawalla presided and gave the Chairman’s speech before voting on the resolutions were opened.
Resolution 14 and 15 which were the most under scrutiny, were both defeated getting only about 35% of those who voted in support. Resolution 14 sought to empower the Stewards to punish those who were thought guilty of bringing disrepute to the Club and Resolution 15 was to create a new reference authority (of a single retired High Court judge) to hear appeals from decisions of the Board of Appeal.
The Committee unanimously elected Mr.Vivek Jain as Chairman of the Club for the year 2016/17. Mr Jain has held this position four times previously in the years 2009/10, 2010/11, 2011/12 and 2013/14. With Mr.Zavaray Poonawalla withdrawing from the fray, his place is taken by first time entrant, Mr.Milan LuthrIa.
The all important Stewards body continues to be head by Mr.Gulamhusein Vahanvaty who took the Chairmanship of this body last year. New entrants to the Stewards’ body this year will be Mr.Berjis Desai and Mr.Gautam Lala, both of whom have acted as Stewards in the past. Mr.Champaklal Zaveri withdrew from acting as a Steward.
The composition of the Board of Appeal remains unchanged.
