Executive Reports

 

Stats were handed out.  There is a small error on the standings, Shannon A and Dave Doolittle’s are reversed.  Dave Doolittle’s are supposed to be in 12th place.

There is only one fine for score sheets, Spryfield B on Aug 18.

 

 

 

 

Public Relations – The following fines were handed out:

 

July 28 – Cue and Cushion A

Aug 4 – Cue and Cushion A

Aug 11 – Shannon A and Cue and Cushion A

Aug 18 – Cue and Cushion B

 

The Cue and Cushion A did not show up for the last night of play.  They received no points. 

Dale congratulated Almon A and B for league winners and runners up. 

 

Whoever finishes higher in the standings will have choice of home or away for playoffs the first night.  Playoff dues are $48.00 a night and are due at the next meeting.

 

 

We will be booking a DJ for the banquet and Dale asked Don Gates to please book Terry for pictures.  We will be going with last year’s banquet format.  If your team has less players show up than you booked, $15.00 will be deducted from your team money for every player that does not show up.

 

 The league awards will be voted on at the next meeting, as some teams are not here. 

 

As stated at the last meeting Don Gates would like to change Article V section 5.1 of the constitution so that it reads “the league executive will be mixed.”  The president and vice president need not be of different genders. 

 

Myles pointed out that in this format, the first 4 members of the executive may be of one gender and there may not be a person of a different gender qualified to fill the last position. 

 

Dale explained the CSNS format.  Nominations are taken from the floor for the executive.  Once the executive has been nominated they decide amongst themselves who does what position.

 

The following motion was then voted on by secret ballot:

To change the constitution Article V section 5.1 to read the executive must be a mixed executive with all members of the executive having at least three years in the league. 

 

By majority vote 9-1 there will be no change in the constitution.

 

Don Gates would like to include the Public Relations position as part of the executive.  It was suggested that this be brought up at the annual meeting in 2005.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 8:10pm.  The next meeting will be on September 12, 2004 at Almon Billiards at 7:00pm.
