The amendment of the club constitution is expected to be at the core of discussions at the meeting. Other issues on the agenda include the amendment of the club's policies regarding players' welfare and contracts.  The re-branding of the team will also be tabled. Club spokesperson Shadrack Modiakgotla said it is high time the constitution was amended because it is outdated. He said the last time the document was amended was in the 1990s and that it is affecting the running of the club. He said the club has grown and is looking at ways of further expansion. Currently the club does not have contracts for players and Modiakgotla said there is need to offer players contracts in order to move towards professionalism. 'As it is now,  there is no document that we can use regarding players' stay at the club, meaning they can move out any time they want,' Modiakgotla said.

The AGM will seek to propose that the position of chairperson is removed and replaced with that of president.  The meeting comes at a time when the two teams have just clinched the Mascom Volleyball league titles in both the men and women's sections.

Modiakgotla attributed the [men and women's] teams' excellent performances to teamwork. He said their teams have always been doing well finishing in the top four teams but failing to claim the top prize. 'We sat down as a committee and discussed what we could do to improve,' Modiakgotla said. He added that they realised that most of their players stayed outside Gaborone. 'We brought them together and rented accommodation for them in Gaborone,' he said.      The meeting will end with a fun day at Phakalane Golf Estates. The fun day will be used to raise funds for the men and women's teams who are the Zone VI defending champions.
