Minutes 14th July, 2005

Attendance: Horst (Chairman), Albert (Vice Chairman), Otto (Finance Manager) Tony (Secretary), Flemming, Peter, Simon, Conner & Panni

Meeting commenced 8.46pm at Café Theatro, Crossroads.

It was noted that a large contingency of people attending this meeting was English. It was felt that this could only be beneficial to the club adding an air of sophistication and professionalism to the proceedings (This might just be my own opinion).

1. ‘Metro Sports’ is a relatively new and expanding sports centre that has developed a ‘Futsal Pitch’. It is located next to the Sunflower night club and originally catered solely for the badminton enthusiasts. It was agreed that Connor would secure a football pitch, if available, for this Wednesday 20th July, 8pm, for a 1 hour slot. It was felt that this was sufficient to test out the facility and form an opinion if it was something we would like to continue with. As we will only have a 1 hour game it is important that any player wishing to participate is prompt. More details to follow if the booking is successful.
2. ‘Don Bosco Dads’. One of the leading lights of DBD’s is/will be living in Beverly Hills and has decided to build a floodlit football pitch in his back-garden that he will rent out to local football teams. We will keep this information on our radar. Horst will also be talking to DBD’s in an attempt to organise a football match. In addition whilst Horst was networking with DBD’s they mentioned a group of Financer’s, based in Manila, who want to visit Cebu and play a game of football at the same time. Again Horst will try to arrange.
3. Connor has agreed to ring Rudolf in Manila to gain further information on the ‘Expat World Football Championships’ to be played in Makati. This is a 7-a-side game, for over 35’s played November each year.
4. We talked about having our own pitch again but general opinion was that this would not be a realistic goal. It was understood that the Timex facility might be ready for late August/September and that most people believed this pitch felt like the home of Expat football here in Cebu.
5. Heiko will be back in Cebu on the 28th July. Albert will try and organise a match against the Lear Team whilst Peter tries to secure the pitch at CIS for the 30th July. After the match we would like players to meet-up at Café Theatro, Crossroads for some drinks with Heiko before moving onto the Arena, an upmarket bar based near the port with some exceptionally ‘fine women’. We have been led to believe, by a source close to the action, that the dancing is beautifully choreographed.
6. The Finance Manager ended the night informing us that the club had P9,567 in the bank. There was a continued debate about absent players and those players not paying there dues. A general agreement to continue ‘as is’ was made with the feeling that P100’s a month was not detrimental to anyone’s financial healthcare.

The meeting concluded at 9.50pm with Otto declaring his home as the venue for the next meeting in August.

Minutes from June 2005

OK, so I am very late with the minutes. No excuses will just try and do better next time! Mind you they do say ‘Better late than never’.

The meeting kicked off at 9.26pm, the venue being Angelo’s upmarket, executive residence where a wonderful feast had been planned for early arrivals.

First on the agenda was a debate about players that seldom attended and there removal from the ‘Players List’. We commented on players like Nicholas that would often text to say they would be attending games or chased for information as to time and place of matches but then never turned-up. We could not understand the rational behind the action.

Continuing from this subject it was accepted that as Expats we were likely to spend longer holidays/business events out of the country than would be the norm back in Europe. As such, providing Otto was informed first, if a player will be spending a month out of the country they will not be expected to pay any dues.

We then talked about tournaments and agreed that our policy would be not to actively support any tournament that lasted longer than 1 day.
Daniele then agreed to organise the 2nd Shangrala Cup for sometime in October an event that was very popular at its inaugural opening. The group then asked if it was possible for Conner to secure the tape from Channel 28 of that particular event.

We then talked around the prospects facing us on our own ‘home ground’. We wondered how things were looking at Timex and will ask Bob to report. We also talked about a field at Sunkist which was overgrown and un-used. Steve was assigned to investigate this option previously but unfortunately is now in the UK until early next year. For the mean-time we will be using the field at Northtowns Homes over the coming 2 months until CIS is available again. Otto will be making a donation to Northtowns in recognition of there assistance. Everybody agreed that we need to have a recognised ‘Home Ground’ as this would foster stronger ties with the club and encourage players to join.

The meeting finished at 10.35pm.
