New Business
Banquet – There were no complaints brought the executive’s attention other than there was no dessert served.
This meeting was called to get a feel for the number of returning teams and any new teams. The tentative start for the league will be the middle of May depending on the numbers. If necessary a double night can be played.
New teams must submit a preliminary roster and $200.00 bond.
The next meeting will deal with preliminary schedule, rules, code of conduct, and constitution. An additional meeting before play starts will tentatively be scheculed.
Helen Wood would like the Bill Bailey memorial tournament to be brought to the mixed league. The ladies and men’s leagues can no longer support the tournament. This will be discussed at the next meeting.
A quorum is present so elections for the executive positions will be held tonight. Dale advised the league that he is not re-offering for an executive position.

Nominations for Vice-President
Ricky Barros was nominated by Jennifer and Liliane. The nomination was declined. Keith Tyler was nominated by Sandy Chisholm and Dale Brimicombe. Keith accepted the nomination. Mike Cann was nominated by Jennifer and Connie. Mike declined the nomination. Keith Tyler is Vice-President by acclamation.
Nominations for Secretary:

Jan Thomas-Giles was nominated by Connie and Dale. Jan couldn’t be here tonight but indicated through proxy that she accepted the nomination. There were no other nominations. Jan is Treasurer by acclamation.
Nominations for Statistician:
There were no nominations for Statistician. The constitution states that the statistician is the fifth member of the executive. We discussed having Keith do both positions and decided if the league did not have any objections then Keith could be both statistician and Vice-President. There were no objections from the league so Keith is also statistician.
Nominations for Public Relations:
Angie Tyler was nominated by Jennifer and Dale. Angie accepted the nomination. There were no other nominations. Angie is Public Relations by acclamation.
Reminder of the Cyril Abs Memorial Tournament. The location will be at the Spryfield Q as per minutes from last year as well as previous years. There will be no further discussion on location.
