2011 Tournament Schedule
Tournament Schedule for 2011 was discussed and tentatively approved but will not be published until we are sure the date we have open for the Deerman Tournament is acceptable.
2011 Membership Fees
Membership Fees for 2011 are to be set at $50 for everyone including individuals seeking membership and their immediate family 18 years of age and under who still reside in the household.
Their will be no differentiation between working and non-working members in 2011, however, those members who set up and take complete responsibility for running a shoot will have $40 of their membership fee refunded after they have completed that responsibility.
2011 Tournament Fees
Members that have paid their Membership Dues for 2011 will pay a shoot fee of $10.00 per Tournament to compete.
Shoot Fees for Non-Members will be $20.00 per Tournament to compete.
Youth Shoot Fees for youngsters that have reached their 13th Birthday but have not reached their 19th Birthday will pay a shoot fee of $10.00 to compete.
All Children Ages 12 and Under will Shoot Free but must be accompanied through the course by an adult.
Concession Prices for 2011
Due to the rising cost of food stuff, we have voted to raise the prices for concessions slightly as follows:
Hamburgers and all the trimmings $3.00
Hot Links $2.00
Hot Dogs $1.50
Chips: We will buy the larger bags of chips, but the price will now be $1.00
Soft Drinks will remain at $1.00
Gator Aide: We will go from the 12 ounce bottles to 20 ounce bottles and the price will be $1.50
We will no longer provide Candy Bars because of the difficulty of keeping them from melting and going to waste. We may try to have other types of sweet goodies in place of the candy bars that can withstand the summer heat.
Charter Memberships
We now have 13 Charter Memberships and voted to limit it to that amount.
Money Shoot
We voted to reinstate the voluntary Money Shoot. To enter the Money Shoot will cost $5.00.
Of that $5.00 the Club will take a $1.00 fee for managing the shoot, the ther $4.00 will be paid back to one winner. The method that will be used to conduct the Money Shoot will be addressed and posted on our Website.
Hagerman Qualifier
Steve Seals agreed to conduct a Hagerman Qualifier in 2011 if there is enough interest to warrant setting up the targets.
Awards for 2011
Wayne Meuir agreed to do some research with some awards vendors to try to find a nice plaque or buckle that we can give to shoot winners instead of the trophies we have been using the last few years. He will report back with findings.
Changes to Regularly Scheduled Tournaments
We voted to change our Shoots to 30 targets for 2011 shooting them all in one round through the course instead of the two rounds of twenty in each round. This was done to make the course shorter to walk and maybe allow most folks to finish before it gets so hot that it becomes dangerous.
We voted to completely eliminate the Open Class long stake that we added last year and go back to prior years where the Open Classes and the Fixed Pin Classes shoot the same stake.
We voted to begin counting HIGH 12’s and/or CENTER 12’s on targets so marked at all our regular tournaments. We will shoot the LOW 12’s and 14’s only at the ASA Qualifier on July 2-3.
Range Masters for 2011 are as follows:
February: Wayne Meuir
March: Billy Sandlin
April: Freddie Crowder
May: Steve Seals
June: Bud Murphy
July: Charlie Alexander
August: Eugene Skinner
Daily Shoot Fees
We discussed whether or not we can legally use the Red Box and allow daily shoot fees to Non-Members. Steve Seals is going to look in to the liability issues concerned with that take some photos of the signs the City of Allen uses o protect itself from unattended facilities as it related to accidents that might occur. We will vote on it at a later date.
Action Items:
