Minutes May 11, 2010
In attendance:
Rhonda Tompkins, Tony & Eileen Crann, Naomi Sharpe, Shelley Palmer, Randy MacDougal, Anna &Eric Rowly.
The meeting was called to order at 6:30.
1) Rhonda presented the financial update concluding that the team is in good financial shape for the new year(considering we still have the swim-a-thon money to come in). Eileen mentioned that we are also waiting to see of we will be receiving the government grant that we applied for. Rhonda stated that there was a small amount of money owed by some parents for competitive swimming fees. Tony mentioned our options are that we decrease registration fees or periodically bring in a coach from Fredericton for special training.
2. Tony spoke with Kelly about two pool slots we can get for beginners. We have taken a 7-8:30 on Wednesday night and a 1.30-3.00 on Sunday. The program, as it stands, will still be a 10 hour program for seniors. Randy discussed (based on our performance this year) that he's not convinced that the children will get the time that they need with the existing 10-12 hr week. If we want more pool time it looks like it would have to be added to mornings. The pros and cons of adding a small(4month) weight training program for the seniors were discussed. Tony suggested that Randy call Marta Belsch to see what she recommended for dry land training. It was decided that we will be looking into some extra coaching/training from Fredericton.
3. Tony commented that we will need to continue with a coaching program.
4. Tony said he attended 2 meetings with the board of directors of Swim NB . One of the pushes was that there will be more of a performance base rather than participation. For example: Instead of sending 20 swimmers to Quebec they might send 5 top swimmers to a national meet.
5. The awards for the year end party were discussed as follows: To give awards by group ie:male/female Male /female swimmer of the year Improvement award Randy suggested we award based on the addition of Fina points.
6. AGM to ten camp will be in Woodstock. There will also be an awards banquet. The Bugle will be awarded media coverage of the year. Safety Insurance will be receiving sponsor of the year.
7. The potluck for the swim-a-thon will be in the community room at the Civic Center and on May 23rd from 7-9pm. The food will be organized by Rhonda. The Seniors will be swimming 8000 meters, the youth 6000 meters and the beginners 3000 meters.
8. The year end party will be at the Crann's on sat June 26th with a rain date of the 27th.
9. Nancy Bubar and Hannah MacDougall will be coaching level 1. Eileen Crann and Randy MacDougall will be coaching level 2. Randy suggested that we think about having more people/parents involved in helping coach. Eileen suggested we think about training and paying senior swimmers to coach.
10. Over the next few weeks the parents will be notified by Randy and Tony as to which level their children should be going in. Eileen needs to write up a report for the provincial government to explain where the money was dispersed that we received last year.
11. The meeting was adjourned @ 7:32.
