Sub: Various issues for discussion
during the ensuing AGM of the Club

I would like to discuss the following issues in the AGM being held on 30th Sept., 2007

  1. I had during the last AGM suggested exploring possibilities of availing Solar energy that would help reduce electricity bill now coming to Rs. 59 lakhs a year. You had during the last AGM had answered that due to 4 month mansoon it is of no use. Would like to draw your attention to such facilities being established in a Mahim hospital successfully. Ministry of the Non-Conventional Energy of the State Govt. of Maharashtra may provide more information on the subject. I request that Management Committee may take initiative in this respect.
  2. The Management Committee seems to be on Cloud 9 as far as providing additional space and facilities for the bar. I request you to kindly consider expansion of the gym facilities and area for the benefit of the members interested in healthier activities.
  3. Kindly provide information on the penalties of Rs. 11.13 lakhs paid by the club and the persons responsible for default, if any.
  4. I had requested for booking of a room for my family as our home was under renovation. Your Mr. Anant Barve was rude enough to ask for a written submission of the request in advance that he said he may oblige me by putting before the Managing Committee for consideration. I am thankful that he did not tell me to wait till the AGM for consideration of my request. If such rule prevails, kindly put the same for discussion before the AGM so that such uncalled authority is not given that is most likely to be misused as I personally experienced. I do not see any reason why a member of the club would spend his money to stay in the Club rooms when his/her own home is nearby unless the circumstances require. Your Managing Committee members cannot question needs of the members.
  5. The guest fees charged in the Coffee house and in the Restaurant should be reduced or waived. When the club is already booking a profit of Rs. 44 lakhs, what is the point in charging members on one hand and possibly offering the


income for Income tax. I understand that may appeals of the club are still pending as to chargeability of Income tax on its income.
  1. I request you to kindly provide details of the expenses on a) power & gas, b) share of property taxes and maintenance expenses incurred in respect of the banquet halls, coffee house & restaurants; as against the Restaurant Royalty of Rs. 36 lakhs received during the year AND the net surplus, if any, received by the club as its charges for use of the facilities as share in the income of the said facilities.

I am providing the above points through this letter in advance so as to enable you to provide details and your comments on the same during the ensuing AGM.
Thanking you,


Deepa Tidke
