As with all things Marina Da Gama Association, it is once again a struggle to get any information out of the Executive Committee.

Somebody, please correct me if I’m wrong, but it is my understanding that the scope of an association and method of recovering costs can not be summarily changed by constitutional voting requirements alone. With a voluntary association maybe, but not when the membership is a captive audience and comprises an entire suburb. The association’s […]
