It was
agreed that although the October 27 meeting had been more of a short discussion
due to the absence of a quorum, minutes should still be produced, if only to
reflect the actual attendance. Action: Graham Ginsberg
The
September 29 minutes were reviewed. Acceptance
of the minutes was moved by Real Lemay and seconded by John Fortin. The motion was carried unanimously.
No report. Presidential duties had been taken by the Vice-President and will be covered in his report.
A ball draw
has been initiated. The prize is a
ball, bag and shoes combination a retail value of $340.
Dan Proulx
has tendered his resignation from the board effective immediately. This leaves the board with only 8 elected
directors. The President reminded all
directors that it is critical we fill the vacancies as soon as possible, before
the burden become to great for the remaining directors.
The
secretary is continuing to have problems with Winlabs. So far no memberships have been entered,
although league sanction forms have been sent to ABC. League secretaries can issue additional temporary memberships for
any bowlers who need a sanction card for an out of town tournament.
There are
presently 391 members (382 regular).
Treasurer
See attached
report.
Aylmer was
inspected two weeks ago. There were
some discrepancies, including foul lights.
There is presently no schedule for fixing these as they appear to have
staff problems. It was agreed that we
should extend the timeframe under the circumstances, but ABC needs to be
advised. Action: Cameron Lyons
Hull has
received its certificate (#20577)
Cornwall
has still not notified the lane inspection committee that they are ready for
inspection after their renovations.
McArthur
lanes have received their certificate (#11997). An 800 has been rolled so it is necessary to take a tape
reading. Cameron will take the reading
and sent the tape to Montreal for analysis.
ABC have
advised us that there is a $19 credit in our account with them so we do not
need to send any lane inspection fees to them this year.
The lane
inspection committee still has no WIBC representation. It was felt that given the difficulties the
ladies are having in organising their board that we should not press this issue
at the present time.
There was
considerable discussion on the location and date of the tournament. Various options we discussed including
moving the complete tournament to another location, moving part of it (e.g.
teams at Aylmer, singles and doubles at McArthur), running it over one weekend
versus two.
Consensus
was reached that the tournament should stay at McArthur at least for this year
and be run over two weekends – the weekend of February 22/23 and March 1/2 in
2003.
The
decision to hold it all at McArthur was made primarily because it was felt that
to move or split the tournament would stretch the limited resources we had to
run a tournament given that the board only has 8 directors. Claude Dumoulin pointed out that perhaps we
do not use our life members enough and that some may be willing to help out if
they knew and were asked. He pointed
out that we do not do well in keeping life members advised of meetings.
The
decision to run the tournament over two weekends was primarily one of giving
the membership an opportunity to participate.
Overall when discussing both location and timing the board was concerned
that enough of the membership participate.
In a post
meeting discussion the manager at McArthur confirmed that we could have 16
lanes for those weekends, although he is running a parallel Labatt’s tournament
over the whole period.
Graham is
hoping to have a draft by the end of the week with a view to having it
distributed in December.
The CTF
qualifiers were held in Toronto on November 2 to 10th. Aaron Guertin finished second and qualifies
for significant support. He averaged
237.5. Other CDTBA bowlers acquitted
themselves well. Dave Wiskowski
finished 24th,averaging 199.5 and Cameron Lyons came 29 with an
average of 193.2.
Graham
Ginsberg attended the Provincial Jamboree and board meeting in Belleville on
October 5 and 6. Much of the discussion
centred around the US’s single membership organisation activities and CTF’s
activities looking towards becoming a membership organisation and organising
body.
The
provincial tournament will be held from May 2, 2003 to June 2, 2003 at the
Quinte Bowling Centre in Belleville.
Members should be encouraged to get entries in early so as not to be
disappointed on squad times as Belleville only has 16 lanes. To compensate additional squads have been
organised for Fridays and Mondays.
Real Lemay agreed to cover Cannus Mixed on a Monday night. Cornwall leagues should be changed to Graham Ginsberg as it had previously been agreed that these leagues would be a presidential responsibility until their situation was resolved. Other leagues will have reps reallocated once additional directors are found.
The President reminded everybody of the urgency of replacing missing directors.
The web site should be updated to reflect the present situation regarding the Golf Tournament.
Having essentially missed one meeting so far this year and several situations still outstanding it was agreed that there should be a meeting in December. The date of December 15 was chosen, but with a start of 10:00 a.m. Graham agreed to e-mail all directors.
Meeting
adjourned 11:00 a.m.
Next Meeting
December
15, 2002. 10:00 McArthur Lanes.
