Correspondence
The important correspondence from
Eric Glaister has been e-mailed to our
Executive members
which was mainly about rent.
Anne MacDonald, our representative
to the Curling Club Board, will only be
invited when there is
an issue with New Horizons.
Art
Mousley reported that we are beginning the year with $1000.00 less than
last year. We lost 20 members last year. Art emphasized that we must retain
our membership as our costs (Rent, HST, NOCA fees)will increase.
Noel
Arbic circulated a sheet of calculations Re. members
required per Draw, number of days curling required to meet
rent requirements. Noel did not take
into consideration the $15.00 NOCA fee which is deducted from the registration
fee of $40.00.
Art
mentioned that Bonspiels do not bring in dollars, as we break even. Thus we
must focus on 17 weeks of curling. There is a concern re. number of curlers
required to cover the rent, especially after January.
Ray
pointed out that rent has increased 10% + 13% HST = 23%.

Art
pointed out that we will be able to float this year but beyond this year we
will be in jeopardy. We will have to analyze the financial situation at the
end
of December.
Bill
Vane mentioned that several members curl with New Horizons because
they are in favour of the way we run the League.
If the format changes, he
feels that we will lose members. Bill objects to the $15.00 NOCA fee.
Discussion
followed concerning the fee.
The
2010 – 2011 Curling Season fee for New Horizons will be as follows:
Registration
Fee: $40.00 and $4.00 / Draw
Even
though the City did not increase the Curling Club’s rent, the Curling
Club
Board is sticking to the 10% increase in our rent and will not discuss
the matter. In other words take it or leave it!
