Pembroke Hamilton Club (PHC) members and the Warwick community as a whole have been deprived of a promised multidimensional complex for far too long.These are the sentiments of One Bermuda Alliance (OBA) Warwick South Central candidate, Ras Mykkal, who has accused those spearheading the project of poor planning.He said: “PHC’s club plays a big part in the Warwick community because it is a meeting place and an activity place and for close to ten years you haven’t had that there.“Someone put in place many years ago an idea to revamp the whole thing and I just think it’s a little short sighted in the develop program and it’s unfortunate that PHC find themselves in this position.“Before they knocked the club down somebody in charge had to have a vision of what they wanted to see there and finances in place as to how they were going to make it happen.“But I think too many of our clubs are run by people who are enthusiasts or enthusiastic about sports but don’t have an understanding on how management or even marketing works.”PHC embarked on a three-phase development plan to upgrade its sporting complex at Stadium Lane, Warwick in 2000.The first phase entailed resurfacing the playing surface and installation of a new lighting system which was to be paid for by the $1.2 million PHC was loaned from the Bermuda Industrial Union in 2001.The loan was to be paid back over a 17-year period through rental income from PHC’s two-storey building located at 81 Reid Street, Hamilton.More than a decade later PHC has yet to pay principal on the loan.The second phase of the development plan, which is already years behind schedule, involves the construction of a multipurpose facility that will seat as many as 2,500 people and include a health club and a youth club.To date PHC have yet to secure funding for this phase of the project.The third and final phase entails the construction of additional changing rooms and seating on the eastern side of PHC’s Warwick ground.According to a Government source, PHC repeatedly declined requests to downsize the project and accept the money HSBC was offering during negotiations to secure a loan to finance the project.Club documents reveal that PHC were seeking to borrow between $10 million and $11 million from HSBC who were only willing to lend $8.5 million.The Government source claimed that the bank felt that the planned structure was “too large” and needed to be downsized while the money PHC was seeking to borrow was “too much”.PHC legend Cal (Bummy) Symonds agreed.“These plans are way over the top,” he said. “First of all the club has to cut back on their plans, they want too many extravagant things at that club.“A lot of things need to be cut back and all they need to do is put up four walls and get a bar going, build dressing rooms for the home and visiting teams and get seating around the stadium because they already have a field and lights up now.“They want a big gymnasium with basketball courts and we’re not a basketball club, we are a football and cricket club. We also don’t need computer rooms at the club for children.”If elected, Mr Mykkal has vowed to do whatever he can to see PHC’s multidimensional complex come to fruition.“Obviously I would talk to different people to find out what the plan is and what could be done to make it work right and get things rolling in the best interest of the club,” he said. “Hopefully, politically, this is where I think I can make a difference.”After the BIU made the $1.2 million loan to PHC, the club successfully negotiated a 20-year lease agreement for $1 million with Esso for 20,000 sq ft of land at their Warwick ground.Esso subsequently leased an additional 2,000 sq ft of land for $125,000 to bring the total amount of the lease to $1,125,000.Monies for leasing the gas station property have been fully paid to PHC.PHC have been without a clubhouse since 2003.
