No nominations were received for the positions of vice-president, treasurer and registrar and there were, therefore, insufficient numbers to form a committee for the 2020 season when the Tigers' AGM was held on October 2.
Under the club's constitution, there is a window of 21 days in which to hold a special meeting to attempt to re-elect a committee and that special meeting will be held on Thursday at 6pm at the Oberon Leagues Club.

Mr O'Grady - who is happy to stand again for secretary as long as the other committee positions are filled - said the Tigers' future had been a talking point in town.
"The football crowd are very concerned," he said. "They are asking me what's going to happen.
"I'm saying to them that it's up to the league lovers to turn up and keep it [the club] going."
Mr O'Grady said a number of people had indicated they will be attending tonight's meeting.
"I'm hopeful to have a reasonable crowd there; hopefully a big crowd," he said.
He said people who had previously thought "she'll be right" with the Tigers might now "think it's not all right".
The Oberon Tigers had a challenging year on the field in 2019, finishing in seventh place and losing their coach for the 2020 season after Josh Starling opted to have a year off from the sport to concentrate on being a first-time father.
