Treasurers
Report:
Bill was pleased to report that Nor Cal is not broke!
The current amounts shown on the balance sheet do not include checks
received for level 9 and 10 State entries.
Zone reps were asked to double check the detailed reports for any errors
or omissions.
There
was a question about Zone and State subsidy fees. Zone fees go to Fran, Compulsory State meet subsidies go to
Nor Cal, and from Optional State Subsidies, two go to Fran and two go to Nor
Cal. The competition host packets
have been updated to make that clear.
Bill
also stated that he will not be running for another term as Treasurer.
State
USAG Chairs Report: Fran
reported that the Regional meets will be using a different floor than what was
originally stated on the meet information.
To
clarify, drop-back dates are two weeks before the last qualification meet
for zone (compulsory) or state (optional).
Fran
will continue to send information and newsletters via email to those whose
address she has, and will mail to all others.
The
regional gifts of clothing and gear for competitors has gotten out of
hand, because not all states in the region can afford the same amount.
Fran is concerned about girls getting left out, and would rather put that
money to use for coaches education, clinics, etc
a discussion ensued about
possible dates and subjects, and it was
decided to hold a clinic to cover base score and rule changes for the upcoming
season on August 4th, at a site to be determined.
NAWGJ
State Directors Report: Jennifer
informed the Board that 2 judges from Nor Cal were invited to the Brevet course
and passed. Congratulations to
Elizabeth Crandall and Janet Packwood!
Elite
level is now being called the National level course and certification.
All optional level judges will now have to re-test.
Jennifer
also strongly urged coaches to get rid of all old Codes and Technical Handbooks
as soon as the new ones are issued. This
will go a long way to avoid confusion over new rules and values in the upcoming
season!
Zone
Reports:
It was noted that some clubs waited to send in their athlete registration
fees until the week before the State meets.
Nor Cal will send bills for the late fees to those clubs.
There
was a discussion about charging fees which would be attached to state entry fees
if athletes are not registered with Nor Cal. Other penalty options were also discussed.
Nor
Cal Awards:
Compulsory Coach of the Year will be awarded at the June meeting.
Nomination forms for all other awards were handed out at level 7 State
meet, and will be mailed to all who werent in attendance.
Nominations for the Nor Cal Board will be going out as well.
The
organization of the level 9 and 10 State meet was discussed, with some duties
still uncovered. Mike, Perry and
Robert gathered volunteers for those duties.
Two
proposals for changing the qualification methods for Compulsory State
Championships. Both proposals were
discussed at length. They will be
combined and a final proposal will be mailed to the membership with the agenda
for the June meeting.
New
Business:
Perry submitted a proposal to change the club membership application due
date to July 31st instead of August 31st.
It was reviewed and will be sent to the General Membership for
deliberation.
A
new membership packet has been put together and will also be mailed in advance
of the June meeting. Members
will be encouraged to renew their membership at their Zone meeting in June.
The
proposed calendar was reviewed and revised
will be handed out at the next
meeting.
Dave
Peterson announced that California Sports Center is moving out of their
Blackford Ave. site, so will no longer be a competition venue.
As
secretary, I regretfully submitted my official resignation, as of the upcoming
June meeting, to the Board. Every
effort will be made to find a nominee to serve the remaining year of my term.
Motion
to adjourn. Seconded.
Approved. Meeting was
adjourned at 11:16 am.
