Minutes of November meeting

Minutes of November 2005

Attendance: Horst (Chairman), Albert (Vice Chairman), Otto (Finance Manager), Tony (Secretary), Simon, Panni Daniel, Ricardo, Andy, Conor, Flemming (Members)

Getting slack with my responsibilities. Minutes late again! Maybe it’s time for a new and improved club secretary? Any takers?

1. Communication. It was agreed that we would continue with no further text messages being sent to members re Saturday games and that all club information would be posted on the Blog with the exception of the Wednesday Futsal game at the Shang.
2. Charity Activity. This topic was carried forward to the next meeting.
3. Nets for the Timex goals. These are currently out of stock at SM. Otto will continue to monitor the situation and report when appropriate.
4. Club membership for life. Heiko & Daniele have received the honour of ‘Club Membership for Life’ and will be immortalised within the Blog pages.
5. Future club outings. This has been cancelled until the New Year.
6. Treasures Report. We only have one outstanding payment and P13,870 in the bank. Membership for 2006 will be increased as follows.
i. P150 Monthly payment for members or P500 per quarter (paid in advance)
ii. P100 For guest players (per game)
7. Xmas. The XP Christmas Party will be on Friday 16th December, with the venue being Angelo’s house in Lahug. Panny, Angelo and Conor will be responsible for organising the entertainment whilst Otto and Horst will organise food and drink. Players joining XP before September 2005 will be free of charge. Players joining after this date will make a payment of P300. Wives and girlfriends are welcome but will also be asked to contribute P300 each. Flemming will be looking into how we can tie this event into a fund raising promotion for a needy charity.
8. Thirsty Cup. The Thirsty Cup will be held on the 8th January with a 7.30am start time! The team was selected in order for Albert to submit to the organising committee. The team will be posted on the Blog. The event, hopefully, will be held at the Ayala grounds but is open to change depending on some Korean developers. You must read the rules in advance.
9. XP Lounge. As we all know Café Theatro is the designated home of the soccer club and will be where we house any memorabilia. As such Panni has agreed to supply a display unit for those items to be secured.
10. Sandtrap. This has been offered to us as a venue for the midweek game. However, there are some concerns into the size and condition of the pitch and also lighting. It was felt that it would not meet our requirements.
11. Cebu FA have expressed an interest in forging stronger ties between both parties. This will be managed accordingly.

The meeting closed.

Saturday Soccer at 3.30 pm

See you on the TIMEX pitch to play and learn from the great soccer lessons in Manila. As I did not receive any new request for guest players I provided TIMEX with the old list.

Today I added another feature to the weblog. All new blogs posted by the system administrator (i.e. me) will be automatically forwarded to the E-mail addresses of all XP Cebu weblog contributors. This means that in case of important announcements you better request your system administrator to post it for you or you have to send it seperately through E-mail yourself.
