A volunter who had helped the Association over many years in regard to the Debentures was only gifted a bottle of Whiskey, I doubt it was a Johnny Walker Blue Label. If this person was gifted Rupees 35,000 I would have no qualms or problem with it. Similarly another had helped with the Insurance claim, if that person too was given Rupees 35,000 I would not have minded. I would have brought up this matter directly with the Directors.The last time I wrote to the Secretary about the election, I was told that what they had proposed was in order and that I should count myself fortunate that I was not expelled ( veiled threat). I am told that I am bringing the Association into disrepute, I put it to the Directors that their commissions and omissions are bringing the Association into disrepute. They had been told in the past, the need to rotate Directors and put themselves up for election, they failed to do this and cost the Association unnecessary expense by trying to rectify their failings. What they are doing is in vain. I trust I have responded to you to your satisfaction, Marlon, Marlon wherefore art thou Marlon?
