Dear Editor – I wish to call for a general meeting to be held this month of September 2016 as stated in the Athletics Solomon (AS) constitution.
Let me first thank the current president with his executive for shouldering AS duties for the last four years. His executive’s term is ending this month of September 2016.
The South Pacific Games in PNG 2015 saw Athletics Solomon returning home with the highest number of medals ever to have been won by a Solomon Islands contingent.
But one month later, Athletics Solomon turned on the wrong page from its mandated roles.
The nature surrounding the close of AS office door from normal business operation for the last two years speaks a lot about the unprofessional standard and style the current executive adopted.
One with his or her right mind can tell that the current AS executive has no potential or capacity to carry on with Athletics Solomon business affairs for the next four years and the huge preparation needed for athletics to shine in the 2023 Pacific Games that Solomon Islands will host.
Therefore, may I call on the current President with his executive to schedule this month’s general meeting on time, since the time is still on our side or else Athletics Solomon will be slowly paving its own way down to the bottom of the table as it showed in July 2016 Melanesian Games in Suva, the poor performance of Athletes and official.
Finally, long live Athletics Solomon.
