Meeting Minutes September 23, 2009

The meeting was called to order by Tony @ 6:30 PM

In attendance were: Tony, Eilleen, Randy and Naomi.

1-Tony announced there were ten new swimmers(three of those in youth).That makes a total of six in youth this season.This makes a total of twenty two children in our club.

2-The budget and payment to Swim NB fees could not be finalized as Rhonda was not in attendance.

3-Coaching was discussed:We have Randy for seniors and Hannah for youths.Nicole Thibodeau will help with the youth and the blue and red beginners.Eileen will also be available to help.Lindsey can commit to two hours (monday and thursday)for the blue and red teams.Lindsey will be paid to coach.This schedule will allow the youths and seniors to always be swimming together.Randy noted that there is more opportunity for youths with the schedule this way. Randy let us know that in the event his whole family were(for some reason)away togetherhe would be looking for someone to take his place. Randy said he will call Lindsey(Bambridge) to confirm if she can go to the swimming 101 course for level 1 coaching on October 2nd/3rd/4th. This coarse will be held in Fredericton.Tony and Eileen will be going and covering their own charges.

4- Clothing:Youth have to wear black caps and swimsuits.Costs of track suits for youths and seniors were incorporated in their registration fees.Beginners can order track suits at their own expense.Naomi suggested seniors could sell their old track suits to the beginners.

5- Tony will try to get all the members at the pool on Monday September 28th.Randy wants to meet with the coaches (before all the parents and members arrive) to discuss a coaching format.The group/parent meeting will start at 6:30 in the Hall of Fame room and will finish up with an hour of pool time.

6- Fundraising:Eileen applied for grants for government funding.We should expect to have an answer within 3 to 4 weeks. The parents will be asked to contribute something for a Christmas basket.The items will be collected a week later. Tickets will start to be sold at the first of November.Tony will update the documents for the partnership program for Monday's get-together, so he can encourage parents to talk to potential sponsors.

7-A notification will be sent to all parents about how they need to prepare for swim meets.

8-Tony brought the idea to the table about posting certificates for personal bests on line and update this every month. This would be so the members could go on line and show their friends/family or print them off to keep. The record board at the Carleton Civic Center will be updated after every meet including pictures and personal bests.

9- The meeting was adjourned at 7:45.
