A summary of the reports follows:

President’s Report

Discussion held about the rationale of the AGM’s minutes being produced in the prior year

and reviewed in the current. It was suggested that AGM minutes be reviewed in the meeting

following the AGM. This course of action makes more sense. Last year’s AGM minutes will

not be reviewed at this AGM.

Final Average forms and Year-end pins for all leagues have been given to leagues.

Nothing New

Lane Inspection

Lane inspection co-ordinator: Mark Gehring.

A question has arisen about the CTF legal limit for lane inspection charges. CDTBA has set a fee of

$10/lane, but McArthur’s proprietor has claimed that an association cannot charge more than $7/lane.

The Board will need to look into the details of this matter with CTF.

Awards

It has been noted that many leagues have legal rosters greater than playing strengths as indicated on the

sanction apps, and so did not receive enough year-end championship pins. The CTF awards requests

form now has an area where Year-end pin requests can be stated.

Additional Year-end pins have been requested from CTF, however these may arrive too late.

Juniors

Appropriate Director: Claude Dumoulin

Final year-end party for the Juniors is set for Apr 30^th.

Claude has indicated that donations from several leagues and Individuals have topped-up his fund for

the Juniors’ provincials. He expresses his gratitude to these by acknowledging them on the Notice board.

CDTBA-AGM:

Set for Apr 17^th around 10:30am.

Nicole Fetzko will be visiting Leagues to try to encourage attendance.

Notices to be placed in the bowling centers.

OTBA-AGM

To be held in Oakville. No delegate from CDTBA is planning to attend at this time.

6. Current Agenda Item: New Business

Pierre Gratton stated that the call letters for the Association’s Website should be prominently

displayed on our Honor Board. www.cdtba.com

We also should provide an info sheet that leagues fill out, to relate to their “league presence” on

the web site.

Nicole Fetzko expressed a concern that our new color choice for CTF honor plaques is difficult

to see. Board may have to re-evaluate critically the plaques and how they are presented.

A question was asked about how prior ABC suspensions are dealt with in the CTF context.

It appears that suspensions will be honored, however we may need to look into more detail at this.

NEXT BOARD MEETING: AGM Sunday, April 17th, 2005 10:30 AM at McArthur Lanes.
