Directors
Course Development   Looks like new locations on the free toboggan hill will be acceptable (no actual permission yet)

  Other two locations between 9, 10; along length of fence line

    these look like they’re in the the optimist hill lease area

    Will try to push for approval for at least the one between 9,10 as a summer position

  James received an email from Charlie Clark. Offered to pick our brains about our thoughts.

      James will try to connect Charlie Clark to Scott
Leagues   Jakob’s indoor putting league is  going very well. Need to add info on website for other leagues.

    Projecting a budget surplus, where does this go? Some to more prizes, reset to SDG general fund (eventually baskets, teepads etc.)
Sport Director   Juniors will start in ~ 2 months

    next Friday Alex is going to Ecuador, won’t be back until around then (April 25 or 26 — but date not guaranteed)

    Someone reached out on Facebook about a community association

      will do a 4 part clinic series with them at the end of May

      four consecutive Saturday mornings

      will need one volunteer, possibly two

Enlisting Andy to help with posters etc.

Needs? More stations for coach’s challenge. Cones, markers. Better signposts. 

PDGA Canada has specific money for juniors, will investigate.

  CN grant

    portal is still not open

    have started application process

    have contact with Saskatoon Community board secretary who’s been helpful

      hoping to have a draft by the end of the week
Membership   For this year the membership drive and membership are integrated

    all of our memberships will come through the drive event

    there is an option to purchase a non-playing membership (ie: just a membership, not for the tournament)

    registration launched today. 32 sign ups so far

      closes May 7

      after that in order to get a membership people will have to buy it through the event (even though the event is over)

  After membership drive is over we’ll create a new membership-only DGScene “event”

    we’ll import the membership drive participants into this event so there’s one list including everyone

      this makes things easier for the rest of the year

  PDGA Affiliation – code to the membership

    has be sent out individually

    can also attach it to the membership drive event

      Will add right away
Finance   Today is March 1 – end of Fiscal year

    want to do a better job of getting $ to board members this year quickly

      have cheques now

      have a paypal account

        prefer to use this over having to reimburse people

    Wendy still doesn’t have signing authority — need to meet with Wendy at a bank

      Wendy and JC to co-ordinate offline

  To start the process of changing our fiscal year to calendar year (or in line with DGS?)

    This year will be a short fiscal year. We’ll change to our calendar year
Communications Leagues section of website has been updated with putter league. Will update Tournaments immediately after meeting.
