Three Directors were elected a the Camanachd Association Annual General Meeting which took place at the Ben Nevis Hotel, Fort William on Friday 29 April 2011.
One of the main issues decided at the AGM was the election of Directors. Calum Duff, Ted MacDonald, Jim Barr and David MacMaster stood for three elected positions. Following a members vote, Calum Duff, Ted MacDonald and Jim Barr were elected whilst David MacMaster was unsuccessful. The responsibilities will be allocated at the next board meeting although Jim Barr has indicated he would like to continue as Finance Director. Calum Duff currently leads a youth development committee.
Former Glasgow Mid Argyll and Lovat player Archie Robertson was confirmed as Camanachd Association President and he takes over from Duncan Cameron who has completed his second term in office. Cameron was President from 1994 to 2000 when he presided over the introduction of the National Premier Division and summer shinty. He was re-elected in 2008 and he was presented with a silver mounted caman as his term ends at the 2011 annual general meeting.
There was a proposal that rolling subs (3 from 5) should be made permanent. Caberfeidh suggested the decision on rolling subs be postponed until next year's AGM as it is too early to say how the pilot is working. The vote for continuing with the pilot was 16-10 in favour but this did not reach the necessary 75% approval. After much debate, it was agreed to continue with the current pilot until the end of the season when an EGM will be required if rolling subs are to continue.
Glenurquhart’s proposal that an amendment asking that if rolling subs are allowed, then no substitutions should be allowed at a penalty hit was not introduced.
Glenurquhart also proposed that the rules around a hit-in (shy) be changed. They proposed that in order to keep the ball in play for longer, a player should be allowed to strike the ball with the caman over either shoulder, and that the player should have no requirement to stand square on the line, or with both feet on the ground when taking the hit in. Caberfeidh opposed this and say the shy should stay as it is as it is part of the skills of the game. The AGM decided that the current rules should remain.
