Osaka C.C. held its AG.M. on 27 Feb> in Toyonaka.Present were;Connal Langley,Rod Linn,Chris Kaye,Dave Wicks,Simon Lovell,Mohammed Haroon,Brian Slater & Lawrence Taylor.The meeting lasted for two cases of beer.The main point on the agenda was the club`s position viz a viz the Kansai League.There were two proposals;one ,to take part in a league which did not include the Pakistan team or two ,to withdraw completely for the coming season and play friendlies and tour games.The second option was adopted unanimously after a brief discussion.The members feel that the problems of last season ,not only the ugly incident with the Pakistan team but the lack of co-operation generally from some of the teams  is just to much hassle.Everybody just wants to enjoy a Sunday`s cricket and a few beers in good company.So if any of the Tokyo teams want to set a reciprocal tour game please contact us.The season will kick off with a visit by Fuji C.C. on 19th March followed by a friendly against Nova C.C. on 26th March.
