  Considering polling schools for interest in short programs during the fall

Tournament Director Most people said ESO ran pretty seamlessly

  T Shirts were a challenge. Dealing with late dropouts

    one shirt leftover, it’s coming

Call meeting to order
Acceptance of agenda
Accept past minutes Motion WC, second KP
President     Not much to report.

    Excited for Saskatoon Disc Golf right now. Everything’s kicking off.

    Tournaments, course development all going well.

Course Development     Did a walkthrough with the city at Dief to go over the new basket locations.

    Mark, maintenance, park staff, senior manager for park spaces were present

    Lots of talk from the city about damage to trees

    Only small alterations to proposed basket locations, mostly within 5 feet of our proposals.

      * But, we’ll only get two positions on the hill, not three

      * We can only use the free toboggan side of the hill

      * Dief can likely soon be a 20 hole course in the summer

      * Escape was happy enough to order four baskets we need for Dief. We can pay them later!

        * Two baskets for the hill, two for practice putting area

    City accepted suggestions from Scott for around the teepads (woodchips etc.), also tree-armouring

      Mark will collect feedback on these from other city staff

      We included examples of hole signage, bag holders

      This would apply to Reid as well

    Heard nothing back yet from the park enhancement program application we’ve put in

    Andy has submitted a design for a Reid course map. Board will provide feedback before we present it to the city

      When we eventually do a new Diefenbaker map we should do it in a similar style

    Scott is researching an area west of Cedar Villas reforestation area for a new course

      fat tire mountain biking club is already out there

        we have their contact information

      There is a “friends of the reforestation area group” out there. We’ll have to negotiate with them.

        Plan is to go to the city once we’ve contacted all of the user groups

    Scott has chatted with John and Dee Hauk (pro disc golf course designers, did Maple Hill etc.)

      their point of view is not to rely on the local board

      instead: develop an economic impact plan that’s presented to all potential shareholders (city, major sponsors (potentially Escape, Cameco, Nutrien, Tourism Saskatoon), RMs, etc.)

        they would host a meeting with these groups

        if they can drum up the money from those groups, they will design the course

        often what happens is people love the idea but then go with something easier/cheaper/smaller

    Orange Xs are on the ground at Reid where the city wants to plant trees

      not all locations are ideal, but they’ve heard our input

    Kris/Jay — Can we move the good baskets from Donna over to Dief?

      We should re-label the holes at Dief at the same time. Hole 13 becomes hole 1

      Announce on Facebook etc. before we move them so people know the courses will be temporarily unavailable

      Plan to do it in the evening / near dark when usage is low

Membership Development Hit 200 member mark! Have had some website issues, now resolved.  Wendy will put up some QR codes
Leagues Now have 81 members in league.  We will now meet as a big group as per regulations, “normal” league can commence. PDGA league can go ahead in June.

Need to link the spreadsheet to our website to view standings.

Kevin B will work out website link.
Skill Development Signs made to tell people where Junior league will be happening.

Fundraiser discs are in, coaches jerseys are also in.

Full program of 32 kids.  We can go as normal with restrictions lifted.  Program will run 8 weeks.  Have everything we need to get started.

Kodi and Alex put on a clinic in Warman last weekend,they had very positive feedback.

Tournament Director Escape Sports Open (ESO)  is full.  28 reserved spots for junior/women was the right amount.

Opened one hour early, but there were still 30 spots after an hour.

35 people on the waitlist

We will need at least 10 spotters.

Solstice tournament already has 58.  No word back from Crossmount yet.

Likely stat at the parking Lot

Can we move amateur side of escape open to Reid? and bring more MPO etc in? PDGA will not let us on a 9 basket course.

Round 1 will take a 5 hour loop.  Probably wise to keep it not too big for first go around.

May need to remind people about lost/looking for disc rules at the players meeting to help move things along.

In Ab they do a shot gun start with 4 different start times etc.

Good to still use hand sanitizer at tournaments no matter what the restrictions

What if the club sponsored a hole on behalf of Andy for all the work he has done on graphics, moved by Kodi.  Seconded by Scott C.  Scott: he works a lot at a high level, he makes us look good.No objections, the motion passes

Mark L will stop in on Crossmount.

Communications Behind posting minutes.  Will catch up today. Caught up on all things otherwise.
Finance League Target of 3k, have raised 6k plus.  Membership also 6k plus in revenue.

Escape open will exceed our projections buy itself.  Total we are at 18K revenue vs 12k Projected.  We are in a very good position financially.  Leagues will have access to more funding for prizing. Note: 36 people on the ESO waitlist have paid and will have to get refunded. 

Secretary Outstanding from last meeting: how to deal with numbering of baskets.  Scott C: we have a plan to deal with physical numbers and will look into udisc changing of numbers.
Sponsorship Need more hole sponsors.  We have 4, need 18 total, so if anyone knows people or businesses please pass them on.

How are we recognizing sponsors? IN players book.  Do we want a sponsor board at the event?

Do we need a sponsorship portfolio/lead person?

President Great job on the membership tournament! Everything is rolling along well
Course development Scott put in two applications to the city: One for $2000(signage at Reid, total cost we’d pay half), other for $9000 (Finish signage and teepads at Dief).

Will ask for any ideas from the membership about new holes at Dief, then we can vote and pass it to the city.  Maintenance and utilities will have to be on side.

Scott will talk with the city about replacing teepads that were removed.

Would like to do a walk through of the U of S tree farm, there is space for 3+ 18 hole courses. Could find funding from sask tourism, we could bring people in from out of town.

What about changing the hole numbering? We could change it on udisc and get decals/repaint. Will coordinate with Kevin to get the word out to the public.

Scott moving foreword to finish Diefenbaker.

Scott looking at physical and udisc options to change hole numbers.

League 61 people signed up for league as of today. Will have to look at Reid, it’s a bit small for this many.  Could look at divisions for next year.  Will reduce the number of night at Reid for this year.

Kris will coordinate with Kevin to update the website.

Kris, will change schedule to relieve some pressure from Reid Park.

Will update website.

Junior Start delayed to June 16th
Tournaments Wrapping  membership tournament.

99/100 people signed up played.

Registration to be up in the next week or two for the solstice tournament.

There may be some interest in serving adult beverages at tournaments.

To post registration for Solstice tournament in th next two weeks
Finance Some cheques to clean up.  Pay pal account needs to be coordinated.

Good meetings with other directors about their finances.

we can do etransfers for prizes but not for expenses.

$570 from membership tournament to course development.

Coaches jerseys are ordered.

Registration, filled at 28 spots.  7 on the wait list.  Capacity could be 36.  Have opened it to 32 people given coaches. so still 2 on wait list.

Some kind of signage may be helpful for Wednesdays? A lawn sign for hole 1?

Adults have approached Alex looking for lessons.  There is demand, but do we want to take it on? It could be in the form of clinics, one off or monthly. Perhaps we need another board position to take this on? Could use other less used parks to bring exposure.(Reids community Assoc is already doing this)

What about a directory for private lessons?

Alex will chase down sign options.

Kevin B will start a directory on the web site.(Jay, Alex and Kodi will put their name in)

Tournament  Escape open, have made a sub committee: Alex, Kevin, Jason, Scott. Have looked at layouts for tournament. Looking to sell more sponsorships. Prodigy possible equipment sponsor. registration opens mid-may.

May 1 membership drive. The city is hesitant with Covid. Despite our safeguards (virtual meeting, online scoring, etc) Likely we wouldt need to book the course if it came to that.  Would like 5-6 people at hole one to direct traffic.  Also need 18 baskets so they can preview alternate pin locations, perhaps a few sleeves could be sunk? 

What about prizing/payouts? We could use the entry fees, there seems to be support for this.

Looking for volunteers for the membership tournament.

Motion to buy 9 more lights from Kodi (18 total) from Marc L, second by Kris. None opposed, motion carries

Communications Have been updating the website for 2021. Still need logos for sponsorships. Alex please proof updates to junior page.
Finance Dealt with signing authority. Need to pay for basket going to Donna, waiting for invoice from Escape.  Will meet with Alex re accounting.
Secretary Nothing to add.
Course Development Have replaced Missing basket at Donna Birkmaier. 

Have sent a tree layout to the city for approval.  Looking to do a walkthrough with them this month.

Diefenbaker alternates the City is very cooperative: we have 14 sleeves. So we need 4 at least. We could also sink tournament sleeves (3) as well. Scott will send out a final layout to the board.

The city will let us use the hill in the summer, could add three holes to the hill for sure.

We could use 10 sleeves. Scott will look into pricing. Plus 3 for practice

Scott is a pricing out signage and applying for funding from the city.

Some talk about the city putting in random baskets in parks for putting etc.

City wants something done around tee boxes at Reid, we may need to convince them to use shale?

Do we need to protect people at practice area at Reid? Perhaps signage could help with this.

When do we move to parking lot of Dief for hole 1. We could start with the Escape Open.

League will move to the lot as well and start on the current 13 (this will be the new hole 1)

Any other Business? Jay would like to move the good baskets from Birkmeier to Dief and swop. Seems to be support.

Either before League. or wait until Escape Open.

Do we have a tent? James L? Need something for the women’s tournament.
