07.     Manager’s Report

Top Dog – Oct 4th.

 

1.       Leagues are starting to wind down.  Nifty Fifties, Thursday Social and Junior year end parties this week.  Day Ladies windup mini spiel’ and Farmer’s Banquet next week and the Masters Mini  Bonspiel and Interleague Playoffs are the following week.  Signup sheets for next year’s returning teams have been hung.  I have 3 teams interested in the 4:30 Monday league so I think we should institute it and hopefully we can make it a go for next season.

2.       We had the Investors Group and a group of Japanese exchange students utilize our ice during the last two weeks and we have a number of rentals yet this season.  The Senior Games playdowns, an umpire’s clinic, Chilliwack volunteer firefighters, and the Kiwanas are scheduled for this weekend.  Soprema and a private ice rental scheduled for next weekend and a church group on March 29 finish the ice portion of the season.  The ceiling replacement is scheduled for Mar. 30, 31 and April 1.  Scissor lifts and materials have been booked and volunteer signup sheets have been posted.  The plant will be shut off for the season when this is completed.

3.       Our club has been awarded the BC Junior Championships to be held Dec. 26-31, 2013 and Sportsnet will be televising the finals.  I fired an email off to Gord Pederson, head of Parks and Rec as well as the Mayor to inform them of this event coming to Chilliwack and the exposure they will receive nationally.  Glen Ringdal has a meeting with them in regards to the Canada Cup of Curling sponsorship on March 20 and we hope to hear in mid April if we have been awarded such.  Wendi Prinse, Tim Drake and possibly Corrine McCabe have agreed to co chair the Juniors and meetings will take place next week to allocate heads of the needed committees.  With the past experience of putting on first class Regional, Provincial, National and International events I am sure our club members will rally to the cause.

4.       Ice paint and Pro Shop pre orders will be placed early in April for delivery in August for next season.

5.       I have contacted Ryan Mulligan and Gord Pederson in regards to club signage for the entrances on Corbould and Spadina.  To expedite the process I offered the club to pay for the signage.  Waiting for their reply.

6.       I have received a copy of the new 5 year lease agreement from the City and addressed my concerns over some new and deleted clauses with Ryan Mulligan that I felt were necessary.  The City has sent an amended one which Kim is reviewing and hopefully it is signed over the next couple of weeks.

7.       The ATM machine had some issues during the Spring Mixed which have been addressed and is back up and running.  We have now had 323 transactions since Dec. 4 when it was installed and issued $22,000.00 from it.  Each week it is getting used more and more as people are starting to become accustomed to it being there for their convenience
