Affiliates of Botswana Netball Association (BONA) were left disappointed when their Annual General Assembly (AGM) scheduled for this past Saturday was postponed.

The decision to postpone the meeting was taken due to non compliance with BONA constitution. According to a letter from BONA, none of the members and teams satisfied article 8 of the BONA constitution of 2009. "Membership of the association shall be open to all netball clubs registered with the Registrar of Societies which shall fulfill registration and membership requirements of this constitution," the letter reads in part.

The letter further states that requirements for affiliation of the association shall include the clubs’ constitution, certificate of registration for the Registar and payment of annual subscription fees as agreed by the general membership from time to time. Teams have been requested to send all their registration and compliance documents directly to BONA secretary general by April 23.
