Minutes:

Secretary Joe read the minutes of the Executive meeting held on September 21, 2005.

Motion by Wally Holmes

Seconded by Arnold St.Onge

That the minutes be approved as read.

Carried.

Business arising from the minutes:

1.- Discussion regarding the Rules of Substitution for the Club Playdowns.

That the rule regarding the use of a substitute be changed to read as follows:

That for the Club Playdowns, should a team finish in the prizes, the players may share the prize(s) on a percentage basis.

2.- That the printed rules for the Dusty Baker Bonspiel be up-dated to reflect the use of "spares"

and should read:

If a spare is used, this person MUST play lead.

3.- The Memorandum of Understanding has been signed by both parties.

Financial Report:

Art Mousley presented a verbal report on the financial status to date.

The bank balance is $ 3,277.00 which is down $ 233.00 from the same period last year.

This can be attributed to the loss of one day 50-50 draw from the bonspiel and the fact that the rent has increased by $ 500.00 for the season.

Motion by Ray Landry

Seconded by Don Critchley

That the financial report be approved as presented.

Carried.
