Note from last meeting – Shannon A played Brewster’s and was not required to call in scores. An adjustment to the fines was made.
Mike had a question about the banquet format. We explained that if a team says they are bringing 10 guests and only 8 show up $30.00 will be deducted from the team money. This is done to limit spending on meals that are not consumed.
Rob and Helen will monitor the door at the banquet. Donnie mentioned how important it is to give us your numbers on time. Dale suggested Oct 11 as the cut off for banquet names.
Tim and Helen accepted the minutes from the last meeting.
Executive Reports
Stats – nothing to report
PR – no fines
Treasurer – everybody is paid except Cue and Cushion A. An executive meeting was held regarding this team and we have decided that they will not be allowed in the league next year. Helen and Rob accepted treasurer’s report.

Dale is booking the DJ for the banquet. The rosters will be given to Rob.
Liliane Poirier was having difficulty with the ladies league. She was prevented from playing in the mixed league this year. The situation has been resolved she will be allowed to play next year but will no be permitted to handle team finances.
The trophies will be ordered from Cole Harbour trophies.
A vote was held for the most enjoyable atmosphere. The results will be revealed at the banquet.
For most sportsmanlike a suggestion was made that every team submit one name and the executive will decide who is most deserving. Rob suggested that we go back to the way we used to do it. We used to nominate someone and the team captain justified the reason for the nomination. The list was pared down and then the league voted. Motion: We take nominations from the floor then vote.
Made by Helen. There was no seconder and the motion was rejected. Motion: Every captain submits a name from their team and one from the league. The motion was made by Rob and seconded by Angie. The motion passed with 12 votes.
Every team then submitted a name. The winner will be announced at the banquet.
Hall of Fame Nominations: Mike Madden nominated by Don and Brad; Helen Wood nominated by Don and Brad; Ross Bruce nominated by Tim and Angie
Meeting was adjourned.
