Lack of sufficient funds has forced the postponement of Botswana Darts Association meeting

The Botswana Darts Association (BODA) was forced to postpone its Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for the weekend due to the Botswana National Sports Commission’s (BNSC) inability to avail funds to it.

BODA was set to meet this past Saturday to usher in a new executive committee but could not meet P33, 000 logistics’ fee for the event. That was despite the fact that there was an agreement that the commission would cover part of the fee in what was to be the first Darts’ AGM held virtually.

Speaking to Monitor Sport, BODA public relations officer, Thato Maphorisa said the association will now have to look for a cheaper alternative to hold the meeting. “Botswana Darts Association would like to inform you that their AGM has been postponed to a date not yet confirmed. This comes after BNSC told us to postpone it; this is due to inability to cover costs of the AGM. I would like to state that BODA is working around the clock to find a less costly way to hold our AGM, for instance virtual attendance across all affiliates. Mind you, this is supposed to be an elective AGM.
