Manila Tournament and other..
hi guys
according to Simon the last slot is taken now by Nicolas. He will receive the payment next week. Our Fee of US$ 500 is already paid. After Nicolas payment we will have an overpay of 1.750 peso. i suggest that it will go to the club because we have plenty of expenses coming, like the nets for the big goals.
beside from this we bought already 2 goals from ShangriLa for 3000 Peso and we will bring them to our homeground at Timex soon as we have a transportation.
see you guys at Danieles farewell party..

Monthly Meeting September 15th, 2005
Attendance: Albert (Vice Chairman), Otto (Finance Manager), Tony (Secretary), Simon, Andreas, Daniele & Angelo (Members)
Thought I would add a theme to the minutes.
Thought I would add a theme to the minutes.
The team arrived in the changing rooms to commence the evening at 8.49pm at Badgers Sports Bar, Banilad.
1. The boss was determined to start the match correctly and duly reviewed the minutes from the last encounter picking-up any loose ends. The football strip was one of those loose ends where it was agreed to post a last ‘Blog’ message asking players if they wanted to purchase there own kit. Otto would then forward supplier details to the boss who would then place the order. It was a simple tactic, involving only 2 people it would surely succeed. The match was getting off to a good start and the minutes were approved.
2. The early momentum continued as the team pushed forward with the ‘Manila World Cup Expat Championships’. I always say ‘the team is only as good as the goalkeeper’ if you have a strong ‘shot stopper’ you will always have a chance of winning. Simon began to prove his worth motivating 11 players in supporting the tournament and collecting their deposits (with some good help by Otto). Getting on top of his game Simon will be posting a message on the Blog with all the details necessary in supporting the administrative side of the event e.g. Transportation & Accommodation.
3. Confidence was high as the team began to talk about the football goals at the dearly loved ‘home ground’ of Timex (Bob Oliver’s ‘Stadium of Endless Time’). The boss, always keen for the best equipment for his team, has agreed to liaise with Jurgen and ask for his teamwork to build and supply some smaller goals than those already present (Where was Jurgen? We were missing that extra man at the front that was giving us the additional weight to hold-up the ball). Daniele, always looking for an opportunity to get into the game, will look at the possibility of the Shangrila donating an additional goal set. The team were working well together and taking advantage of every opportunity.
4. Half-time was fast approaching but it was OK because Otto, with that very typical German methodology, has managed to organise a ‘Club Outing’ with Franz for the 25th September, 2005. Franz has a new boat and was prepared to take players and their families to Cabilao for a BBQ. Daniele, once again, stepped up to the mark and offered the pontoon at the Shangrila for docking purposes if needed. Otto will post more information on the Blog when appropriate.
5. The team were ahead as they moved into the changing rooms for refreshments and light banter. Daniele again took centre stage when he announced that he was leaving the Philippines for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Apparently another team has come in for his services realising the potential that he has to ‘put the ball in the back of the net’. The boss was unable to talk about the transfer money involved but it matched that of a ‘pre-season’ deal with the German powerhouse of Heiko. Otto nearly fell to the ground on bended knees as he gave Daniele ‘super-star’ status as a life long XP Team member (without pay). Daniele is organising a transfer party for the 23rd September, more details to follow……
6. The half-time break must of stirred things up for the team as they came out in an indifferent mood. Man Utd were playing on TV and Rooney was being sent off for impetuousness a sign for our own team to open up a lively debate. The boss introduced some proposed rules and practices for the club which sparked people into a frenzy of activity. The ball was being whipped across field at real pace, sometimes the ball fell to the player’s foot but often it was being pushed to far down the field and out of reach. The players were being asked to work overtime as the boss was seeking to take the game by the ‘scruff of the neck.’ During this time 9 players were being removed from the list of ‘active players’ amazingly due to their inactivity or lack of membership payment. Those players are: Stu, Vince, Sheldon, Babok, Yasser, Dan, Zadeh, Herve and Paul. But the boss was in a determined mood and would not say no to gaining a formal agreement; the match was there for the winning. Exhausted by the effort the players managed to score that vital goal and win the game. The match report follows.
7. So it was that the team moved back to the dressing room. It had been dirty there for a minute but they had come through the game with style and panache. Daniele started to think about the Wednesday game already promised to speak with the Shangrila about securing the field after he leaves the Country at the end of September. Otto injected next that the teams reserves were at P13,100, he was obviously showing the strain of the match as it took him several attempts to secure the correct information (is this a sign of old age?). But he was happy as the club decided to purchase a new ball… With this the lights went off at 10.15pm and the guys left content that the match had secured all 3 points.

Inauguration of 'our' TIMEX field
This Saturday, September 3 at 16.00 pm, we will play again on the TIMEX pitch. I assume everybody still knows how to get there (EPSA gate 1 and after the entrance on the right hand you will find the TIMEX gate).
Today, I will forward the standard players list to the guards. As required by TIMEX, you have to let me know the names of guest players at latest by Thursday night (if a person is not on the list he / she cannot enter the premises).
Please be aware of the new information procedure. You have to respond to text or blog by 'yes' or 'no'. In case of cancellation only the confirmed players will be informed!
Be there on time. Albert
