At the Vanza Mandal Annual General meeting held on 29 March 2026 the Management Committee's term of office came to an end and the Committee was dissolved with a view to forming a new Committee.
I presided as the Chair for the Election. Three positions were duly elected (nominated and seconded by those members present). these were as follows.
President Nilaben Solanki
Treasurer Hasubhai Kamothi
Assistant Treasurer Rashikbhai Chavda
Whilst attempts were made to fill the following positions no one came forward.
Vice President
Secretary
Assistant Secretary
6 Committee Members.
With reference to our Constitution it states, Vanza Mandal 'shall' have 6 office bearers and 6 Committee members (Not Must).
The rules under part 9, 2011; of the Charities Commission Act clearly indicates that a charity can move forward with 3 elected Office Bearers.
Once a new Committee is in place I recommend that our Constitution is reviewed and any ambiguity removed.
This left the Mandal with 3 options.
The First, to hand back the Management to the Trustees with a view to dissolving Vanza Mandal.
The second, option was to call another meeting and hold an election.
The third, option was to allow the Trustees and those duly elected to go away and form a committee with a view to getting them approved at the next event.
A vote was taken of those present as to which option to take to move the Mandal forward.
No one wanted to dissolve the Mandal, there was no guarantee that if a further General Meeting was held that it would succeed in forming a committee.
Option 3 was unanimously accepted which was to allow the duly elected members and Trustees to form a new committee.
(Note this option has been used before in the early 2000's when the Management was handed back to the Trustees and a new committee formed).
There has been a lot of discussion around the need for another meeting, however the vote at the AGM gave the mandate to form a new committee with in two months and present them at the next event for approval.
In the instance that a committee is not formed then a Special General Meeting will be called.
We are currently looking to fill the vacant positions and if you are interested please complete the form with your expression of interest by clicking on this link.
