EVEN IF YOU ATTENDED THE MEETING YESTERDAY PLEASE READ THESE MINUTES AS THERE HAVE BEEN FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS AND QUESTIONS ANSWERED SINCE THE MEETING.       These minutes refer to the meeting of the Mazarron supporters club which met at 4pm Thursday 30th July 2009 and are based mainly on the meeting that took place on Thursday 23rd July 2009 between 9.30pm and 12.30am. This was the initial meeting of the new Mazarron football club controlling committee. Members of the Los Amigos de Mazarron cf who attended were Tony Connolly Chairman Los Amigos Mick Madgwick Secretary Los Amigos Steve Spencer Club liaison and dogs body Los Amigos Pru Fowler Translator   FOLLOWING IS A RESUME OF THE MEETING OF THE NEW MAZARRON C. F. COMMITTEE MEETING   1. PEPE MENDEZ opened the discussion commenting that Football is suffering from a lack of investment due to the current financial crisis and that a lot of clubs are being forced to use local players as a result.  There was a general consensus that using local players had the positive benefits of being both cheaper and attracting potential fans – bums on seats- as they may come to support friends and family.   2. PEPE MENDEZ (PM)stated that the Football Federation of Murcia had confirmed that the debt owed to them by the club was around 8 or 9 thousand Euros.  The representatives of Los Amigos raised the question of what has happened to the figure of 40,000€ previously mentioned to which PM replied that the important thing was that 8 or 9 thousand was the figure required initially in order to be recognised by the Federation as fully registered for the season 2009-2010, that they had conceded an extension to the subscription period at the personal request of the Mayor of Mazarrón who spoke to Federation officials the week of 13th July, but this extension would end tomorrow and the most important thing was to elect a board of directors.  The representatives of Los Amigos would like clarity on the issue of debts owed to the Federation, but it was difficult to pursue in light of more urgent matters.   3. Tony of Los Amigos asked what was happening with the Foundation in Zaragoza; what were their interests and motivation in sponsoring Mazarrón C.F. PM replied that it was a Foundation pertaining to a religious division of the Spanish military forces and presided over by Cartagena born Fernando ?, personal friend of Juan Guerrero, supposed to be elected president of the new Mazarrón C.F. project.  It seems the Foundation have a remit to support sport’s development and are currently supporting a team in Extremadura.  They are supposed to be voting on a commitment of 40,000€ per year, over three years as a financial contribution to Mazarrón C.F.   4. At this point Kenny, the supposed to be elected Technical Director, was invited to share with the group his projected budgets and organization of the new Mazarrón C.F. project.  His outline was as follows:   a) It would be a shame to loose the club’s place in the 3a Division   b) It is necessary to build up the foundations of the club again working to develop the youth teams all the way up to the first team. An idea welcome by all.  The club will be responsible for the Football School of Mazarrón and , apart from developing local talent, stand to benefit from the income of subscriptions to the football school, or at least that it pays for itself.   c) Despite saving the first team’s category, it still has to be done on the lowest possible budget which he estimated at being around 115,000€ based on the following breakdown:   Team travel – 19 away games at 400€                                                  7,600€ Referee Fees – 19 games at 500€                                                         9,500€ Clothing (apart from strips confirmed as a donation from Los Amigos)   3,000€ Possible Sanctions                                                                                6,000€ Salaries (10 months at 9,000)                                                               90,000€   TOTAL:                                                                                               115,000€   Breakdown of 9,000€ required for monthly salaries is as follows:   Coach                                                                                                              1,500€  3 Players at 600€                                                                                            1,800€ 3 Players at 500€                                                                                             1,500€ 13 Players at 300€                                                                                           3,900€   (IT IS TO BE NOTED THAT THESE ARE "BALL PARK" FIGURES AND INROADS INTO THE COST OF RUNNING THE CLUB HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE GREATLY REDUCING THE FIGURES ABOVE. IT IS ALSO TO BE NOTED THAT A NUMBER OF CLUBS IN OUR DIVISION, INCLUDING BALA AZUL ARE RUNNING ON A BUDGET OF €25,000 (Steve)     5. Season Tickets:   Adult                                        100€ All Los Amigos                         80€ (LESS THAN €4 PER GAME)   Youth (14-18 years)                 30€     MATCH DAY gate entry Fee:   Unisex                                        7€ Under 14s                                Free   It is thought that Los Amigos will provide an estimated 160 season ticket holders meaning an income contribution of 12, 800€.  The norm over the last few years is that roughly the same number of Spanish Nationals will buy season tickets.   (THE SEASON TICKETS SHOULD BE READY NEXT WEEK, I SAW THE NEW SEASON TICKETS TODAY THE COST OF WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN COVERED BY ADVERTISEMENT ON THE REVERSE ORGANISED BY SEBAS ONE OF THE NEW COMMITTEE. Steve)     6 .Mick of Los Amigos asked if there were any other roles Los Amigos could play to support the club such as running a raffle at the home games.  Steve from Los Amigos commented that between the raffle, canteen and gate takings, it should be possible to cover the referees’ fees at least.  He recounted making 500€ on the raffle alone when it was last run by Los Amigos. They also warned of the need to stop gatecrashers – hole in fence needed mending and better security on the gate – looks like a job for Los Amigos.     7. Other means of generating funds were then covered such as advertisement, local sponsorship. Members of the new board volunteered to take on this role which has already borne fruit. See season tickets.   8. Steve of Los Amigos suggested charging an entry of 5€ for the pre-season friendlies was another way to raise some instant cash.  The idea of hosting a trophy cup between 2nd Division teams Murcia and Cartagena in honour of recently deceased player/coach who was most recently in Murcia C.F., Pepe Campos (responsible for the winning goal of La Liga, Barcelona – Sevilla in 1948).  It was agreed to pursue the possibility and maybe charge even 10 to 15€ entry to see such teams.  Los amigos insisted the games be played at home to take full advantage of possible entry fees.   9.Various names were discussed as to the possible coach for the new Mazarrón C.F.   (THE COACH OF MAZARRON WILL BE NAMED EITHER TODAY AT A PRESS CONFERENCE WHICH MEMBERS OF LOS AMIGOS WILL BE ATTENDING OR ON MONDAY THE FIRST DAY OF TRAINING. THERE ARE 2 CANDIDATES ONE LOCAL AND A PREFERRED, BUT MORE EXPENSIVE, CANDIDATE FROM MURCIA. Steve)   10.  Pepe Mendez reminded the group that first things first, they had to form a Board of Directors first, or all this debate was for nothing.  He apologised again for the absence of Juan Guerrero and for his inability to become president himself due to a personal tie to Bala Azul.  Tony of Los Amigos was the next to be asked, but refused due to his actual Presidency of the fan club.  He would happy to have a representative role such as Vice president on the Board, to represent the fan club’s opinions, but wanted no legal or financial responsibility for Mazarrón C.F., nothing that could be considered ownership and result as a conflict of interests.  He was reassured that the club was directly responsible to the Federation and that this in turn was responsible in face of the law and had to arrange the appropriate insurance etc.  It was agreed that all present would be on the Board and a paper was passed around in which all present put their name, NIF or NIE and contact details.  Roles would be confirmed when the paperwork was handed in the next day.  [It was subsequently decided that Pedro Mendez be the President, Pepe Mendez and Tony Connolly as joint Vice Presidents, Kenny as Technical Director, treasurer and secretary unknown]   13. At the request of Los Amigos representatives, the strips were confirmed to be the same as always, red and blue as home colours and white for away games.     SO THERE YOU HAVE IT FROM THE HORSES MOUTH WHAT HAPPENED AT THAT MEETING. FOLLOWING ARE OTHER ITEMS RAISED AT OUR MEETING   QUINTANA.   Contrary to what the Spanish members of the board thought Quintana has informed ME by email that he was very interested in being involved with the club and would play fro free, he would also consider a player coach role and remember he speaks excellent English which could reduce costs further. Subsequently the new president, Pedro Mendez, has spoken to Quintana and I was told today Quintana WILL BE joining the squad.   At the meeting the provision of a home AND away strip for the players was discussed.   It was unanimously agreed by the 73 person present that we would provide the team with a home and away strip. Home strip Red shirts, blue shorts and red socks. Away strip white shirts with shorts and socks to match.   This will cost €44 per player the strip complete with number AND name in a superior quality material.   Los Amigos will cover this cost with cash being handed over ONCE a bill has been produced and the strip delivered. Pedro was over the moon today when I passed on the news and asked me to pass on his thanks on behalf of the club.   At the end of the season ALL 44 shirts purchase will be returned to us for sale by auction again to raise cash for the following season.   Details of friendlies and training days will be circulated when known.   OUR OWN REPLICA KIT.   In an attempt to prevent the need to constantly replace our replica shirt it was proposed by STEVE SPENCER that the sponsor name on OUR shirts be replace with our own logo therefore negating the need to constantly replacing them. This was agreed by the members present and meetings are being arranged to organise this.   Details of our fixtures are now published and displayed on the notice board at TREVI's bar along with all information about the club.   Detailed discussion took place about the €1500 we passed to the football club to help with registration of the club.   I spoke to Pedro (the president) today and he stated that.   HE STILL HAS THE CASH AND IT HAS YET TO BE USED AND HE WILL TRY TO AVOID USING IT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. IF IT IS NEED IT WILL BE USED TO HELP TO PAY THE REGISTRATION FEES FOR THE CLUB AND AT THAT TIME HE WILL PROVIDE A COPY OF THE BILL.   I think that's all for now, just remember  WE HAVE A CLUB IT IS REGISTERED IT IS IN THE THIRD DIVISION WE HAVE A TEAM BEING FORMED AND SHORTLY A COACH BEING NAMED. COMPERED TO TO MANY OTHER TEAMS WE NOT DOING TO BAD IN FACT WE ARE IN A GOOD POSITION.     --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minutes of Los Amigos De Mazarron C. F. Annual General Meeting held at the Trevi Bar Restaurant, Commercial Centre, Sector B, Camposol on Thursday 4^th June 2009

1. The chairman welcomed approximately 60 members to the meeting and thanked them for their attendance.

2. The chairman called on the members for a minute’s silence to show respect for Roy Cook and George Wright who both sadly passed away last year.

3. Apologies for absence were received from Dave Marks.

4. The minutes of the last annual general meeting were read and accepted by the members present.

5. There were no matters arising from these minutes.

6. Chairman’s Report:

The chairman reflected on the previous year, best described as the year of ups and downs. Social events were excellent and well supported, our support for the football club was beyond reproach, both financially and in attendance at both home and away games. The mutual respect we gained with the players and staff at the club is something we can all be proud of. Sadly the present economic climate started to take effect, San Antonio, the sponsors struggled to keep the club solvent, players, staff and officials were not paid and the future looked uncertain. The team finished in the top half of the league and under the circumstances, this was a credible performance for all concerned, who knows what will happen next season. We are pro-active in getting all interested parties together to take Mazarron Football Club into the next season. The Chairman thanked the Executive Committee and other individuals for the work they had put in this year and the membership in general for their continued support.

7. Secretary’s Report:

The Secretary also reflected on the previous year. The first team under the circumstances did extremely well to finish 6^th in the league. On a sadder note, the second team after gaining promotion the previous year, was abandoned and halfway through the season the sponsors withdrew their support of junior football. To the credit of the coach, Kenny, parents, the council and Los Amigos, junior football survived to the end of the season. The camaraderie established between Los Amigos, the players and staff at the football club was second to none. The plaque the players presented to Los Amigos and their support at the end of season social proved this to be true. The secretary thanked the executive committee and the members in general for their support and in conclusion he too was doing everything possible to keep Mazarron Football Club in existence for many years to come.

8. Treasurer’s Report:

The Treasurer presented the Annual Audited accounts to the meeting and reflected on the financial stability of Los Amigos. The membership was 180 and to date our account stands at 3.817,95 euros, details as follows. Bank account 2.849,95 euros, cash in hand 38,84 euros. In our account the following monies are ring fenced for: 100 club 610 euros, transport 358 euros. The Treasurer thanked the executive committee and the membership in general for their support during the previous year. Some points worthy of note were - social event raised 1.243,75 euros, 100 club raised 1.225,00 euros and Colin Thackwell’s activities raised 280.00 euros. Thank you guys and all those who supported them.

9. Social Secretary’s Report:

The secretary thanked his fellow executive members and the membership in general for their excellent support shown to him throughout the last season. Attendance at home and away games has been a success, club season tickets and members seasons tickets have returned a profit, merchandising continues to be popular and showing a profit and to date, we hold 1.020,00 euros of stock. News from the ground - the players and staff are all owed 3 months wages, San Antonio the sponsors have gone into liquidation; on their behalf the Director of Football offered one month’s wage as an end of season pay-off. Three players accepted this offer but the rest are denouncing the sponsors for non-payment of wages, hoping to cover the full amount which in the circumstances seems very doubtful. The secretary supported the efforts being made to get interested parties behind Mazarron Football club for next season, the gossip from the internet suggests that two new sponsors may be interested, lets hope so, watch this space.

10. Fund Raising Report:

Dennis Clarke thanked the members for supporting the events this past year, all were well attended and a financial success. This resulted in cash donations to the football club, Mazarron juniors and providing a second strip of shirts for the first team complete with their names. Similar events are being planned for next season. Last season’s events were not subsidised as agreed with the membership, members can be assured that when we know what the situation is at the football club next season, the membership will benefit from any such monies raised.

Ron Johnston thanked the members for their continued support of the 100 club this season. As previously stated 1.225,00 euros went into club funds and currently we have 94 members.

Colin Thackwell was not available for comment, in his absence, Colin, Ron and Dennis were thanked by the Chairman and supported by the membership present for an excellent years’ work.

11. Press Officer’s Report:

Roger will continue next season with his match reports, at present he is working on a news letter, which he hopes to up- date every 2 months, reporting and promoting Los Amigos and Mazarron C.F. activities. Thanks Roger keep up the good work.

12. Man of the Match Report:
