[Jon Brakel]

Please add a topic for league rules discussion.

We currently use PDGA rules for the league at Bevier. There are several rules that the PDGA has changed for 2006 and we need to decide how they will be played at Bevier. If we decide to continue to use PDGA rules across the board for league then we need to decide if we will play any special circumstances.

I can put together a brief summary of the rules changes and how they affect certain aspects of the Bev course and have that available to everyone at the meeting.

[Mitch]

I will not be able to make the meeting. but I would like to pledge $45.00 to the club for 3 new club memberships to encourage new players to come to our league events. Ideally I'd like to prepay the club for these to be given away as CTP prizes if the Fairfield Saturday thing comes to fruition for a spring series. If the whole thing never happens that's OK we can give them at Bevier.

[Dan Michler]
