After the posting questioning the legality of the MHC Executive Board meeting, I had expected some form of response from affiliates. As expected a couple did contact me and agreed with what was written, even some former office bearers of MHF.
A day later the following email was sent to all affiliates, and only one affiliate contacted the governing body, seeking the funds for hockey purposes instead of going for the tour but rejected.
Suffice to say those who are invited for this junket never even turned up for domestic tournaments and I can safely say that from the 26 here, more then 22 did not even watch any Junior Hockey League matches.
And as so far as the domestic competitions last year, most of the office bearers never attended even the final of the matches, but for Dublin expect them to be amongst the first to line up.
Rather then take some office bearers who are only present when Tengku Abdullah is around, its best to take some budding coaches, development coaches and sports science experts who will contribute towards hockey in the future.
And as so far as the email is concerned, its put up to spot the mistakes....
