A PROPOSED land sale at a private West Van-
couver club had members outraged because they
felt they were being sold out.

Hollyburn Country Club
directors were interested in
selling off about 25 acres ot
the club's 49 acres of land,
but Hollyburn members felt
the sale was not in their best
interest.

Concerned members, who
have asked to remain
anonymous, said the board
of directors attempted to sell
off half of the club lands
with only a minority of the
membership's permission.

But board president John
MeNicall said the menther-
ship passed a club bylaw at a
dune 3) meeting, agreeing
that over 75 per cent of the
membership must) vote on
special resolutions.

A fact sheet supphed to
club members before the
meeting by the board
assured them that no sale of
club Jand could) be made

without the permission of its
members,

And furthermore the fact
sheet said there is a covenant
on the land restricting the
use to recreational until Ju-
ly, 1987,

But one coneerned
member said the directors
had already gone ahead with
advertising for joint
development ventures for the
land located below the club’s
outdoor tennis courts.

One of the proposals for
the land was said to be ia
condominium complex.

But MeNicoll said the
board was only looking into
options for when the cove-
nant on the land came due in
1987,
