SJAI reverse decision on branch secretary motion

THE national executive of the Show Jumping Association of Ireland last Tuesday rescinded a Cork/Kerry Branch motion limiting the length of tenure of its secretary position.

The motion was originally passed by the national executive last November, days before a fractious branch AGM, during which there was heated debate as to the eligibility of sitting secretary, Tony Hurley, to go forward for the position.

However, last Tuesday the national executive decided the motion, which applied only to Cork/Kerry, was not consistent with the rules of the association and, accordingly, they reversed their decision.
