Volcanic eruptions expected at Bandra Gym Elections 27th September 2015 is going to have many defining moments for members of the 79 year old Bandra Gym, situated on St. Andrew’s Road. This year the election scenario is incredibly different. There are allegations, insinuations & promises being made. Imagine, Café Delite, Balaji & various coffee shops have interludes of heated conversation revolving around the BG elections. Social media has hate messages floating. Yes, this time the opposition is stronger & proactively wooing members to vote for change. Yet, the present managing committee team still have their die-hard supporters. The countdown has begun. The Trustees are 3 eminent personalities Ajit Rodrigues, Darryl D'Monte & Roger Pereira. Standing for President: 1. Godfrey D'Mello 2. Trevor Fernandes & 3. Ladislaus Pereira. Standing for Managing Committee: 1.Li-
onel Athaide 2. Gordon Athogiaus 3. Leon Curzai 4. Leo Dharmai 5. Julian D'Mello 6. Ryan D'Monte 7. Mark D'Sa 8. Warren Fernandes 9. Denita Gomes 10. Cornel K. Gon-
salves 11. Christine Menezes 12. Austin Pereira & 13. Basil Pereira. The morning programme will start with the AGM – where a PPT. will highlight the ac-
tivities and other points of the previous financial year. The voters will be East Indian members only – as per the indenture, which embodies the covenants; that govern the constitution and administration of the Bandra Gym. This time, the number of actual voters are expected to be higher – as campaigning is already at an enthusiastic pitch. For the past several months, the spicy gossip about several Bandra Gym issues makes interesting listening at the cafeteria, bar & restaurant. The beverages help to iron out any inhibitions. When things get personal, you can expect a storm of animated discussion – leading to an argument. The build-up has begun – with volcanic eruptions expected on election day. It is all coming to a boil. Tempers are rising as competition is fierce. The moment of truth will be announced later in evening. Dramatic scenes can be expected. The results are anybody’s guess.
