Willamette Disc Golf Club Monthly Meeting 2/5/08

Present:  Everett Kaser,  Jim Dubay, Richard Raymond, Kelley Christianson,
Jay Sexton (Presiding), Bob Burton, Greg Johnson, Eric Smith, Mike Gibson,
Casey Lohrman, Craig Banner, Kim Halsey, Larry Evans, Brad McDougall.

Treasurer’s Report (Greg) currently 1780 dollars.  This fugure is after 
560 dollars for ins, 960 to Innova, were spent.  One more expense will 
be our payment to City which definitely needs to be paid before August 
and at least partially needs to be paid beginning March 15th.

Adair (Everett)   Everett has been hesitant to push forward on permanent
stairs at the 3 to 4 walkout trail because Parks is in middle of long-
range planning and doesn’t want much done until that is complete.  
There is a need for  stairs in middle of hole 10 fairway over berm for
errant throw retrieval. Brad has access to railroad ties thru his work
that will be very useful with projects around Adair.

Adair Doubles (Mike Gibson) seems to be going well.  A lot of people 
are playing regularly. Ace pot has 323 dollars, plus 100 held in reserve.

Handicap Tourney at Adair (Mike)  Still have winter level attendance, but
expectations are  for larger turnouts this month.

Disc Sales (Greg standing in for Dave)  There are new discs including
Discraft Discs for the 1st time in a long time.  There are Gooves from
Innova which are lighter wts and made of champion plastic.  Bosses are
now available in Star plastic also.  The R Pro Dart is coming out.  The
latter two discs  haven’t been purchased yet, but will be soon.

Oregon Series Changes:  Chris and Teresa Bellinger have stopped running it.
However they still may run some tournaments.  Mike Ruzika will have some
overarching coordinator role but there won’t be a “company store” for the
series.  The local clubs will have to assume some of the jobs such as
scoring during the tournament, and arranging for am prizes. Kelley
suggested that we come up with a gift for the Bellingers and Todd from
the Club.  There was discussion unresolved, about what the gift should be.

There is an opportunity for expanding into the growing pine  plantation at
Willamette with some alternative placements or new holes..

Craig Banner has a friend who teaches in Belize and has access to a course
there whom he would like to befriend with some donated used discs.   

President’s Report: (Jay Sexton)  Jay proposed buying PDGA rule books,
but Greg thought we had a stash somewhere.  Motion made and approved
unanimously to buy rulebooks if and when they are needed.

April Fool’s  Doubles Tournament run by Nate Sexton at Adair will be
Sunday, March 29 .    

The insurance we’ve purchased will have coverage for unanticipated
adverse occurrences  happening to players, volunteers TDs, etc at
organized events such as .  The policy requires that we sign a waiver
which makes us agree to not sue WDGC  etc.  It is usual practice and
we will need to sign it in order for us to have the coverage for
liabilities.  It will begin about March 15th, he thinks.

Mike Storrs: Chitchat at OSA has it that WDGC is a good disc vendor,
and we may be asked to support other tournaments than our own. This of
course, will be mutually beneficial.

Respectfully submitted, Bob Burton, secy.
