August Meeting
Minutes
-
Financial: The club is still doing well all
debts with Innova are settled last orders are paid leaving us a little over
$500.00 in the regular club account. The DEPC account is building with new hole
sponsors but we can always use more.
-
Tournaments: the next monthly has been set for September
28th a final format will be announced this week and a TD will be
selected. A vote was passed unanimously to set the tournament calendar for 2014
at the November meeting so that a single flyer with the entire year’s
tournaments can be made. This should help people clear their schedules to make
the events and help increase turnout. If anyone is interested in claiming a TD
spot for next year please plan to attend the Nov. meeting to inform us. Finally
the club will be holding it’s first ever Discraft Ace Race in 2014. Daniel C
will be TD for this event planning to be run in September more details to come.
-
Course Maintenance: A work day is scheduled for September
8th to replace the walk way to 9 blue with a more even brick path
and level out the blue tee pad. A plan is now in place to put a permanent OB
line around the woods extending from #3 to #6 Jake Starr Max and Daniel C are
researching the cost of the project but to expedite the project a $150.00
budget was voted through at the meeting.
-
Covenant: As we well know Covenant Church has a
disc golf course on their property that they keep improving on and they are now
at the stage of adding concrete tee pads. In an effort to help them do so and
to improve relations GVDG will be offering the church our help in either
pouring a pad for them, building a few benches, or running a fundraising tournament
on their behalf. David Guy is leading the way on this and speaking with members
of the church to see if they would be interested.
-
New Merchandise: The club has voted to allow new
merch at the store! Allen Foster has set up accounts with Dynamic, Latitude 64,
and Gateway to bring in new discs and other merchandise so if any of these
companies peak your interest let us know what molds and plastics you want to
see in the store we will do our best to honor your requests.
-
New Club Structure: The idea has been talked
about to change the club structure from a presidential order to a board or
tribunal type of hierarchy. The only way this can go forward is for the members
to come together and write a proposal as to how this could work. For those
interested you should set up a time which you can meet and put together a
written proposal for the new structure and rules under these guidelines:
o
three “board
member tribunal” instead of president and vice president
o
Secretary and treasurer remain
Beyond that the options are open to you.
Any such proposal should be ready to present at the January meeting. If the
proposal is voted in at the January meeting it will be brought as a club wide
vote in February to pass or reject the changes for a one year trial for the
2014 club year. Elections would then be carried out in May as usual and in
January 2015 the new system will be reviewed to see how successful it was and
if it is deemed acceptable it will be written into the club bylaws. For more
information contact the club secretary through the club email gvdgsecretary@gmail.com.

Next meeting will be at Big Bubbas Burgers in
Winterville on September 11th at 7pm hope to see you there.
