Juanjo Bataller resigns to make way for a new board

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto held an Extraordinary General Meeting of Members this afternoon at the Civic Centre in Puerto de Sagunto. During the meeting, Juanjo Bataller and his board resigned to make wayfor a new group of members who are prepared to take charge of the red-and-white club. ‘We have decided not to wait until the end of the term and, in order to call elections, the most appropriate course of action is for most of the current Board ofDirectors to resign’, Bataller explained.

The man who had been president of the red-and-white club for 25 years gave a speech in which he highlighted the difficult beginnings: ‘We found a bankrupt club when we came in, and in our first season we managed to gain promotion for the team to the Primera Nacional.’. They now leave a team in the Silver Honour Division ‘in the upper half and with the possibility of fighting for promotion’.He also reviewed the club's finances, stating: ‘We have not spent more than the club earns. We pay in cash and owe nothing. We leave the accounts in good order’. Bataller concluded his address to the meeting by expressing his ‘wholehearted wish that the new Board of Directors succeeds in its work; we will help with anything requested of us’.

Rafa García Marín then explained the protocol and procedures for electing representative and governing officers. Specifically, he stated that nominations would be submitted from 13 to 17 February. The review and acceptance of nominations would take place from 21 to 24 February. If there were only one nomination, no vote would be required. If more than one were submitted, the elections would be held on 1 March at the Port de Sagunt Sports Hall.

The members also voted for the members of the Electoral Board and the electoral committee, which will only act if more than one nomination is submitted.

In the questions and requests section, the members thanked Juanjo Bataller's board for ‘its impeccable management over so many years’
