Old Business
Steve Talked to
Mike Smith of ASA and he indicated that there are no dates open in
2011 for us to have an ASA Qualifier. Mike will advise us if
something changes.
Randy is going to
send “Thank You” Letters to all the major contributors
of door prizes at our June Invitational Shoot.
Wayne was supposed
to check with Rinehart about repair kit to fix our standing bear but
forgot. He is going to get it done before next meeting.
We still need to
fix the road. Steve Sullivan quoted us $300.00 for a 10 yard load
of crushed asphalt. Wayne is going to shop prices and see if that
is reasonable or not.
New Business
- Charlie
proposed that we not wait so long to order new targets that we get in
a bind again. All agreed that we have about $1500 to spend and
whatever is left after the road is fixed can be used for targets.
-
We agreed to give LSBA half of the August Gate up to a maximum of
$300.
- Charlie
brought up the fact that we need to enforce the “NO PROFANITY”
rule that we have in place, and that we all need to call people out
if they break the rule so that we have a friendly family environment
without worrying about offending anyone. All agreed.
- Wayne
indicated that he along with Steve Seals, has started a P/R campaign
VIA the Internet Hunting/Archery Forums in an effort to get the word
out who we are and what we have to offer. It already seems to have
brought a few folks out.
- We all agreed to
cut the membership dues for the remainder of 2010 to $50.00 for
individual and $55.00 for family memberships.
- Terry and Amy Witt
asked us about doing a Cub Scout Training Program in the summer of
2011 and also possibly a Home Schooled Children Program. Everyone
thought it is a good idea and further discussion will be done to set
it up in the coming months.
- Steve Seals has
talked to the guy who runs the “Deer Man Tournaments”
about coming to our club next year and putting on one of his shoots.
Everyone agreed that we should discuss it with him and find out all
the details. Steve will stay in touch with him.
- Billy got a call
from some one wanting us to advertise in their Archery Address Book.
We all decided that free P/R Via the Internet Forums was a better
choice.
- We discussed
changing the 2011 Membership Dues to $50-$60 across the board and
doing away entirely with the working vs non-working memberships.
Most thought it a good idea but we will not consider it until our
December Organization Meeting.
- We discussed
changing to a 30 Target format where each target would only get shot
once.
Pros: Targets Last
Longer, Less Walking for Contestants, Shoot Would Probably Finish
Earlier in the day.
Cons: More Work
Setting Up and Taking down the Targets, Less Traffic at the
Concession Stand. - Wayne was
contacted by Todd Pool of Cowtown Bowmen about a meeting in November
to set up the 2011 schedule so that we don’t all compete with
one another. He will send us an invitation to that meeting this
year and we can hopefully use that information to set up our 2011
Schedule.
