Penticton Triathlon Club

Monthly Meeting

December 7, 2006

 

Present:           Brad Lee, Richard Szabo, Jordy Bouillet, Craig Stephens, Gord Spelay, Barb Hanuszak

 

Started 6:05 pm

  1. Richard stated that we did not have a November meeting, and moved ahead to finance report.
  2. Financial Report was started by Barb as Jordy was not yet present.  Barb has not yet met to transfer over the books from Jordy.  Brad has $750 from club membership renewal ($570 cheque, $180cash) and the chequebook.  We have to write cheques for AGM room rental of $36.24 to Sharon, $872.69 to Brad for the banquet, $38.41 for gifts to Gord (for Sharon/Simon).
  3. The Awards banquet was better than we had expected, with 46 people attending.  The cost to the club was $263.91 for plaques, and $608.78 - $60 in cheques = $548.78 which was just above what we usually spend on the banquet, of $500.  The use of Martini’s worked well to socialize, and to enjoy the band for dancing.  The food was better than expected, and a good value.  The club charged $20 per ticket, which was the cost of the food, but paid for one drink per attendee, and for the gratuities.
  4. Jordy arrived to confirm that the club account was $3880.76 prior to the start of the AGM, resulting in a balance, after tonight of $3593.42
  5. Old Business:
    1. Bare Bones Duathlon: the run course has changed to 3 laps with transition based out of the east parking lot in the Skaha Beach public parking lot.  The application for the race has already been submitted on Nov.4.  The course looks to need fewer volunteers than previous years.
    2. Website: consider purchasing the program Frontpage.  Apparently it is easy to use, such that a number of club members could maintain the webpage, make it user friendly, and have people regularly use it.
  6. New Business
    1. Support for indoor facility.  The Penticton Soccer Club has asked for support of an indoor facility that could include 3 lanes for running.  It is agreed that it is a good idea.   We are unable to contribute money, but will be able to send a letter of support.
    2. Seminars: Craig has talked to Gray Taylor from Brooks for a seminar, which can include pizza and a sale at PCR.  The next idea is to have an Orbea seminar from Brian McCoy and Tom Evans, also possibly followed by a sale at the Bike Barn.  Third topic is from Tracey Pope.  Fourth is Dave Brooks. Times were discussed and good times were thought to be January / early spring.  Also Blood Lactate testing from Kevin Cutjar.
    3. Spinning workouts can be organized at a variety of members houses.  The club will check on workouts and DVD.
    4. Newletter:  Sharon has little time to edit and write.  It will need to be a case of cut and paste.  Brad will write a story on the Peach Classic, we have an Ironman story from Bobby Krause, a DVD movie on Hawaii from Scott Tremblay.  We need a couple more stories.
    5. Local news!  IMC has a new record of 154 local athletes registered.  This is not signed up, but actually registered and paid!!  With this in mind, Brad will send out an email to the registrants to join the club, and learn about seminars, local jersey etc.
    6. Discussions started between the Pounders, Peach Classic, Boston Pizza Jr. Tri, regarding sharing of equipment as we may face a time soon when IMC will not store equipment in Penticton.
    7. We must acquire or buy a ledger to keep a copy of what cheque is written and for what purpose.
  7. Other topics :
    1. Coaching has Brad, Jennifer, Teresa, Simone and Joy expressed interest.  The club is intent on helping some members obtain certification.

      8.  Missed discussion on gifts for sponsors for Christmas time.

 

Meeting adjourned 7:40 pm
