the Provincial Association concerning details of the Jamboree as very few
details given.
He has received

will make sure additional cards are ordered to give all members a card.
He has started
drafting a letter for the newsletter.

the tournament director.
Moe advised ABC
re: Cornwall and the response is that we cannot remove Cornwall from our
association until they either form their own association or are taken over by
another association such as Kingston. However, no one wants them.
We have received
no response from Cornwall including their stats. , However, there is a new
management there now and we will try one more time to enroll members.
The Audit
Committee has received all the necessary papers from last year.
It was decided to
use the bowling association e-mail addresses instead of our own personal ones.
A Daily Journal
was passed out.
The bank is now
charging $5.00 per month as a service fee. Moe will check around for
alternatives with no fee.
It was decided to
open an American account as heavy charges are applied to convert the currency.

extra Leader’s Handbooks at a cost of $2.00 per book, but needs a cheque first.
It was agreed to send a money order to get the books.

Anniversary
They are looking into
a banquet. Should we offer a gift?

Directors were
appointed for various leagues. They are to be a liaison between the leagues and
the association.
Graham showed us a
sample nametag. Bill Munn to come up with some examples. Should include logo
and photos.
Photographs of all
directors will be displayed on the web site.
Graham will
contact all the houses and see if they will permit us to display photographs of
all the directors.
It was agreed to
proceed with the Comprehensive Liability Policy. The policy should cover YABA.
YABA should pay pro-rated cost of policy. Bill Munn to handle.
It is the
secretary’s duty to get the kits to the leagues. In the past, we have set aside
a day to meet, but there has been a low turnout and some kits were mislaid.
This year, Moe
will set up a night with the WIBC association to distribute the kits to the
leagues and will e-mail us with the date and time.
Graham to talk to
McArthur to see if bowler’s scores can be copied to a disk and then downloaded
to the ABC web site to allow any bowler to check his/her score online.
The ABC rings sent
to members have put values on them. Unfortunately, Customs & Revenue then
puts a duty on them, which members have to pay to obtain their rings.
Should the
Association pay these duties?
The only issue is
the gold rings as the silver rings are not subject to a duty. However, the
normal ring is silver, and members can request gold rings, but then are subject
to duty.
Why did some gold
rings cause a duty and some not?
The new
manufacturer of these rings must put a value on them for insurance purposes.
Moe to contact ABC
to find out their decision, especially with the 900 Series Award, which comes
only in gold. Do they pay the duty on this award?
Motion to adjourn
by Gilles, Jim seconded, all approved.
Meeting adjourned.
