Dear All,

The previous post is the broad schedule for arranging of matches as discussed on training day. Please stick to it. For those of you who were absent due to whatever reasons or simply due to a lack of commitment, let me fill you in.

Matches will now be arranged by organiser every week. $80 a game. Our own personally arranged game will now have to be confirmed one week earlier. (eg. Match on 30/4 confirmed by 22/4 latest, field booked, opponents and ref)

Any games to be arranged personally will have to go through me first, so that I can tell the organiser to skip a week. Also, the broad schedule is planned, so that everyone will get a chance to organise our own game. (which is much cheaper) The botak tasked to organise will have to book field, ref, and confirm with opponents before making official announcement to us.

As for those whose names are still in the TBC column, the longer you take to find yourself a team, the earlier you will be tasked to arrange a match, and your name will appear more frequently in the taskings. =)

A Money Man will be appointed this SUNDAY, and the likely candidate will be DU, due to his money minded calculativeness. By demand, we will set up a treasury, so that any excess money collected for a game will be rolled into the treasury. This is especially important so that we can silence any qualms about embezzlement of funds. The policy here is that of transparency, since the standard will be $80 a match, unless otherwise informed. The fund will be used to purchase new balls, or pay for matches if possible. We will not be collecting extra funds, so the treasury will be made up entirely of excess money collected.

By the way, i have not published the fact that i am very heartened by the turnout for the training last sunday. True... we met up with some difficulties organising the match, and i must admit that having no match/opponent is a little of a turnoff. But i must say that the commitment shown by the selected few was undeniably fantastic. These are the guys that decided to come together as a team, not because they want to just play a soccer match, but to share some laughter and fun time together as BOTAKGANG. Here are the few: LIANG, SIM, YUCHONG, NICH, SHAUN, DU, JIAN AN, MELVIN, ME.

So for this Sunday, I will wish to see the same commitment, arriving on time will be a main issue. Those coming in cars have no reason to be late AT ALL. Yups thats all for now.
