Schedule Confirmed

Annual Meeting Overview

SuperFriendly and Annual Meeting 2019 (should I be reserving dates?)

Minutes

Fall League - There were 5 spots remaining as of the day of this meeting.

Spring Leagues - Bob volunteered to run the competitive league.

Annual Meeting - It was a good success. Lost a little money on it.

SuperFriendly/Annual Meeting 2019 - Discussion of whether or not to reserve dates for these. I believe the consensus was to go ahead and reserve.


4.3 Kettering Rec Center
Patrick Connolly

Presentation of options and recommendations regarding Kettering Rec Center.

Minutes

Proposal for a "Java" League at Kettering made by Paul Robinson and Patrick Connolly.

Background on Kettering:

  • Already put down curling houses on their ice.
  • It would cost them $35,000 to get all the necessary equipment for curling on their own.
  • They close at the beginning of May.
  • Charge everyone who uses the ice the same rate per hour, no matter what

Current State of Relationship:

  • The people managing it really want to get curling going there, and have to convince the higher-ups.
  • Can look at having them host the events that we run.
    • Are willing to hold LTCs and hire us to run them.
    • We can organize the LTCs however we wish.
    • They have good marketing that we would benefit from if they host events.
  • They are interested in running curling leagues the way that they run skating programs.
  • They would like us to move there all year, but their schedule is too tight for that to be feasible.

See attachment in the agenda for information regarding the proposed "Java" League.

  • Benefit is that once the stones are moved down there, we can hold the LTCs during the 7 weeks that the stones are at the Kettering rink.
  • Can even leave one set of stones there to continue running LTCs until they are moved back to Springfield for the Spring Leagues.
  • Kettering says that they can put the freezers into the old snack bar room that locks.
  • It was briefly discussed that it could be added as a league option, but that was not approved.

Bob moved to have Paul and Pat set up and run the Kettering Java League contingent on it breaking even.

  • If it doesn't break even, then the Board will address at a later date.
  • Pat and Paul need access to Eventbrite and will put up the event registration ASAP.

Result: Approved
