Deferred to next meeting
The President gave opening remarks concerning his view
of how he wished the Board to operate in the upcoming year. These included a greater emphasis on local
bowlers and houses. The need to serve
the houses in Gatineau was stressed.
The CDTBA is not just McArthur Lanes.
Pierre stressed the need for communications to include French.
The agenda will be prioritised so that important items
are covered and not left to the end and either not dealt with or dealt with
briefly.
The President presented a bowlers dictionary for
review and proposed that it be distributed to all bowlers. This was generally accepted provided
sponsorship could be found and once some review/editing had been done.
Nothing to report.
Kits are on order for distribution in August.
The secretaries computer is being checked out by
Graham Ginsberg to determine if the CD is defective and if more memory is
needed. Graham reported that he can
find no problem with the CD drive and that more memory should be added. Problem were found with the modem and this
will either be corrected by a new driver or a replacement installed.
Treasurer
Some refunds are due to golfers due to the rain imposed
change of date. Cheques will be
prepared shortly for distribution at the beginning of the season.
There is a discrepancy in what was transferred from
the WIBC versus what was believed to have been in the fund raising (50/50 draw)
kitty. Action Cameron
The was a long discussion regarding why the had been
so much difficulty with lane inspection in recent years. There was no agreement on the reasons
although some felt it was due to inspectors now not being paid.
A compromise was suggested by Cameron that will be
presented to the joint Lane Inspection Committee, which is that 50% of the fees
paid by the centres for inspection would be paid to the inspectors while the
other 50% would be put into the lane inspection fund to pay for future
equipment purchases.
McArthur Lanes were inspected on June 16 by Cameron
with assistance of two directors from Montreal.
Kit distribution is proposed for August 20. Leagues need to be contacted. Action
Cameron.
The Secretaries handbook needs to be updated
especially the list of directors and their league assignments. The following table was updated.

Annual Tournament
The survey indicated a desire for a February or March
tournament.
Pierre agreed to act as Tournament Director. Directors should contact Pierre if they have
ideas for either the annual tournament or other tournaments. It was suggested that a fun tournament in
