Minutes of Meeting of August 15, 2000

Attendance: Albert (Vice Chairman), Otto (Finance Manager), Tony (Secretary), Conner & Laczo

Meeting commenced 8.45 at ‘Badgers’ the new sports bar close to ‘BTC’.

1. We kicked the meeting off talking through any possible entry into the ‘Expat World Football Championship’ in Manila, November 19th and 20th. There is a team entry fee of $500 and only a limited amount of entries left (3 or 4). We estimated that the 2 days would cost each individual P15,000 (Entry, hotel, flight, food and beer).
Those present were keen to participate but we require at least 10 players. Albert will place a message on the Blog to generate interest. If we manage to get 10 players, Conner will organize the event on behalf of the team with the first task of securing a non-refundable deposit of at least P5000.
2. The club have agreed to purchase a new football. The new Cebu Expat Football strip (shirts & shorts) will be available to purchase at a price of P450. Albert to place notice on the Blog asking players to place their orders. Albert will also cost the purchase of cones that could be used to mark-out the pitch and report to the Finance Manager.
3. This week we will play at Northtown, unless TIMEX becomes available. Next week it will be CIS or TIMEX. Albert will confirm later this week.
4. We had a guest from the ‘Metro Sports Club’. He has promised us that the ‘Futsal Pitch’ will be ready this coming Wednesday. It is located next to the ‘Sunflower’ night club in Lahug. We are booked from 8.00 until 9.00pm (arrive no latter than 7.30), at a cost of P700. The club will meet the cost of this, the first trial of the location, but in future will ask players to meet their equal share of the cost. Otto to organize players for this event. (Conner will also be placing an advert in the facility asking soccer players if they want to join us).
5. Blog site. Not many pictures have been received by Albert that can be placed onto the site. Its an easy process now to include your own picture on your site or in your own profile, so ‘get uploading’.
6. Otto has agreed to organize a club outing. He will be talking to Franz, in Cabilao, to check on availability of pitch. Otto will be reporting back later.
7. Otto also informed us that we have P12,760 in his holding from the monthly subscriptions. He will be reviewing the list of players not seen for several months and erasing them from the players list. In addition (fully supported from those present) it was decided that if a player suddenly turned-up for a single and infrequent game, we would make a charge of P50.
8. We decided that holding the meeting in a bar was the preferred location and as such the next meeting (Thursday, September 15) will again be held at Badgers.
