On 26 May and 25 July 2017, in the Cotton House in Gdynia, the deliberations of the 76th Ordinary Electing-Reporting General Assembly of Members of the Gdynia Cotton Association were held. The session of the 76th General Assembly of GCA members commenced on 26 May was adjourned due to the necessity to explain legal doubts reported by one of the Board of Directors members.
