05. New Business |
05.1 Database project.
All 4 lists have been consolidated and are now electronic. It is up and running well. Bruce and Wendi have had opportunity to
use it and like it. Board thanked
Larry for all this work. |
|
|
|
05.2 Front awning It was suggested that this needs cleaning. Bruce says it is usually a summer job. |
Maintenance Committee to look into it |
|
|
05.3 TV screens.
Would like to see screens on Sheets 1 & 6. Two to five were done for the BC
Men’s. It is a great idea but we need
to plan and budget for it. Might need
more wireless |
Bruce to bring
some more details to next meeting |
|
|
05.4 Board member absences.
Ron Magnusson has missed the past couple of meetings, has moved away
and as it turns out, does not hold a valid membership. Moved by Kara Biersteker and seconded by
Adam Dyck that we declare his position on the board as vacant and seek a new
member. Carried. Larry also suggested that as the bylaws are vague on this
subject, we should consider developing a policy to address it for the future
and that it may require an amendment to the bylaws. |
|
|
|
05.5 Office computer
& software: Larry advised the board that the office
computer is getting worn out and software is out of date (2000). He recommended replacing them at an
estimated cost of $720 plus taxes. Moved
by Dave Stephenson and seconded by Gary Roberts that Larry purchase a new
tower, keyboard, mouse, monitor and Office software package for $750.00 plus
taxes (or less). Carried. It was also proposed that the old system be stripped of
all confidential information and put in the lobby area for people to use. |
Larry to go shopping. |
|
|
05.6 Volunteer of the
year 2011. This needs to be submitted by Dec 31st. The board unanimously nominated Larry Legault which he
graciously accepted. |

06. Manager’s Report |
Report: - ATM machine – fellow has been on holidays. Will contact
again in new year. Insurance will
cost approx $100 year extra for this.
Suggest installing it over the summer as there will be some
construction involved. - Marshall rink reception well received by team but poorly
attended - Junior Playdowns went well. Thanks to Wendi for organizing it. Stephanie Prinse rink qualified for Provincials and qualify
for a $300 stipend from the club.
Very disappointed with Curl BC on use of our club facilities and
time. Suggest a letter be sent to
Curl BC. Too much time between draws
and held over 3 days when it could have been done in too. Inconvenience our Masters and created
unnecessary extra time for manager and ice maker. Ladies playdowns is this weekend. Again poor usage of our facility with scheduled draws 6 hours
apart. - Pro shop sale on until Christmas and sales have been
brisk - Skins Bonspiel has been cancelled due to lack of
interest and facility rented out to a private member function. Need to get posters out to other clubs to
promote upcoming Chilli Spiel, Men’s and Spring Mixed. Our bonspiels always provide good value. Thanks
to Larry for shopping for good deals on Bonspiel prizes. - Club has been scheduled for cleaning top to bottom and
floors re-waxed over the Christmas break.
James is going home to Sask. Dec 23- 28th. He will melt that night and scraping and
flooding done on 29th & 30th. He will also be touching up rocks at that
time. - Larry added that Kayleigh Alendal also qualified as a
third on the McAulay team and will be attending BC Jr. Women
provincials. - Larry suggested that we back off from Curl BC events for
a while. - Dave would like a copy of the email sent to Scott Braley
with regards to our displeasure with the draw times on the Playdown events so
he is prepared when he attends the next Curl BC meeting in January. |

07.4 Bonspiels &
Leagues. After much discussion, it was
agreed that we abide by the 5 man team rules for regular league play. There must be two or the original named
players playing or the game is forfeited.
Aquadel league has a different policy to be left in place. - Friday night league starting 2nd half this
week. Larry is checking team list for
accuracy and dues to be paid etc. - Spares need to pay the $10/game fee if not already paid
and curling in another of our leagues.
