MEETING
MINUTES
General Meeting December 03, 2009
Derrick Smith called the meeting to order at 8:05 P.M. and
the first order of business on the table was the election of the president
and treasurer for the
upcoming year. Derrick allowed his name to stand again for president and since
there was no other volunteers or nomination Derrick will remain on as president
for 2010. Greg Benard will remain on as the treasurer as no other volunteers
or nomination for the treasurer position were received.
Rental fees for the
shed were discussed and looking back over the past year as a guide the fees
will be raised to $250.00/month. Given the quality of the
facility and costs for previous rentals, the Cochrane Ranch House etc it
was decided by all in attendance that this is a fair rate. Membership
fees were
also discussed for the upcoming year and it was decided that they will remain
the same at $300.00 /family and $150.00/single.
In the case of a family membership
children 18 years and older still living at home are covered by our fees
of $300.000 but will be required to pay the insurance fees for
an adult single
as the ATAA fees schedule does not cover them under the family fees. Drop
in fees will be set at $7.00 for paper shoots and $10.00 for
3D shoots.
Greg presented the club financial and copies were
supplied to the members at the meeting and are also available to
any members
if requested. Items to
be purchased for the club in the upcoming year were discussed
and several items
are on our wish list. The purchase of addition Spider-web targets as well
as a Chronograph, Bow-press, Bow case storage racks, repair kits
for the 3D targets
a club notice board are all items to be looked into in the new year. As
several of these items are quite expensive Garrett Pittet is going
to pursue the
application of a grant from the Provincial Government to assist
with the some of these
purchases.Rob Klettle will also look into some alternative
target materials that could lower the cost of targets as well.
Greg
Gerlitz, Leo and Garret Pittet all volunteered to organize a
3D league for the start of the New Year. A 3D course will be set
up
on half of the
range and will be changed weekly. Members wishing to shoot the
3D course can
do so once a week. Scores will be submitted to the co-ordinators who
will track
and
handicap the scores. Some discussion occurred regarding fees for the
3D league to offset the wear and tear on the targets. Those fees
if any will
likely
be in line what the fees charged by other clubs at approximately $0.50
a target.
Open 3D shoots were also discussed and dates of
March 20 2010 and
April 24
2010 were selected so as not to interfere with other clubs dates.
Several other topics were discussed such as advertising of the club on Facebook;
Adam Doyle agreed to pursue that. The reimplementation of the range
officer to call the line was raised and it was agreed that all
members would
be required to take a turn as the range officer.
Derrick raised
the point
of the Can-Bow
program and it was decided that even though the number of young
shooters taking
part in the program has declined the actual cost of the program
is minimal and we should continue to support the program. Derrick
also asked the
question of organizing a Coaching course. After some discussion
it was agreed that
there is sufficient interest from the members and that the individuals
wishing to
enrol in the program would cover the cost individually.
A club clean up/work/Xmas social is to be set up for Thursday December 17, there
will be no shooting but rather the time will be dedicated to several
small projects and a thorough cleaning of the range area.
Derrick
will send out
an E-mail notice to all members. Hopefully we will have a good
turn out for this
event!
The next meeting for members was scheduled for February 25 2010 to gather other
ideas and discuss potential club purchases etc. The meeting was
adjourned by Derrick at 9:35 P.M.
