Mr. Pravin Amre, Chairman of the meeting mentioned that the last A.G.M. was a delightful experience, when all members were cooperative and gave constructive suggestions. He also thanked the members for providing support in connection with the Regularization work undertaken by the Managing Committee, which was pending for over 20 years or so. He appealed to the members to continue to extend the same support and cooperation while carrying out the proceedings of the meeting. Mr. Sanjeev Khanolkar, HGS informed the members that Plans approved by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai regularizing additions/alterations and mezzanine floor in the existing building have been displayed on the Board here for information of our members. He also mentioned that marathon effort has gone in to this, as we had to surmount number of difficulties while achieving our objective. Members congratulated the Management for this achievement.

Agenda item No. 1: To confirm the Minutes of the 108th Annual General Body Meeting held on 30th September 2018: Mr. Sanjeev Khanolkar, HGS enquired if there were any clarifications required, and since there were no queries, Minutes of the 108th Annual General Body Meeting were approved unanimously, and the following Resolution was passed: “Resolved that the Minutes of the 108th Annual General Body meeting held on 30th September 2018 are hereby approved..

Balance Sheet and Income and Expenditure Account for the year ending 31st March 2019: Mr. Ashwin Subhedar complimented the members of the Managing Committee for mentioning various information pertaining to the working of Gymkhana. However, he felt that more information should have been given on Cricket Academy. He referred to page 40 of the Annual Report regarding Cricket Academy expenses of Rs.9,12,478.00 and Coaching expenses of Rs.7,33,340.00 and requested for clarification. He was concerned about lower expenses on Cultural activities for children. He commented that while economy should be done, it should not be at the cost of reduction of activities. He opined that looking at our status in the sports field, we should have more presentable Annual Report, and suggested to make necessary improvement. Mr. Phalgoon Desai, Treasurer, replied that in the Cricket Academy free coaching is given to merited students, but we have to incur expenses on cricket kits, balls, bats, T shirts, ground maintenance etc. Under the head ”Coaching Expenses” remuneration paid to coaches for Regular and summer coaching was included. As far as Cultural expenses are concerned, the Managing Committee had decided to promote different games of Indian origin on experimental basis instead of holding Christmas function and hence expenses are lower. Mr. Santosh Powle mentioned that under the pretext of cost reduction we should not discontinue some such practices. He felt that by printing photographs members come to know what is going on in the Gymkhana, and get general information about various activities, and he was of the firm opinion that photographs should be included although there would be some additional cost for the same. Mr. Dalvi mentioned that photographs are exhibited on the Notice Board after the events, and this gives sufficient information to members, and he did not see any point in incurring additional expenditure for the same. He appealed to the members not to create such issues, and pointed that we should look at the larger interest of SPG and stay together in complete harmony. Mr. Arun Oke mentioned that we should check what would be the additional expenses if we include photographs, and then decide the matter. Mr. Sanjeev Khanolkar, HGS replied that additional expenses would be to the tune of Rs.1 lakh or so. Mr. Dileep Kulkarni mentioned that he was in favour of printing photographs in the Annual Report. Mr. Mahendra Salve mentioned that photographs should be printed in the Annual Report. Mr. Pravin Amre Chairman of the meeting felt that it would be prudent to publish photographs in the Annual Report as the same would give information to sponsors and members who do not visit SPG frequently. Taking in to consideration the views expressed by members, it has been decided to include the photographs so that members become aware of what type of activities are taking place in SPG. Mr. Hemant Parab congratulated all the Office bearers for their devotion while carrying their duties for the benefit of SPG.
