January 2015 GVDG Club Meeting Minutes
Attendance: Max, Daniel, Adam, Todd, Stew Goodson, Kurt Hodnett & Kirsty. 
1-Finances) All outstanding debts paid and $1100 free and clear.
2-Monthlies) The calendar for 2015 is posted on the website and Facebook. Fliers will be made and posted. We have changed the December monthly to 12/5 to avoid a nearby PDGA event conflict.
3-Sponsorship)Nothing currently, we will have a few coming up with PDGA's from NHDGC and OFDA in March.
4-Workdays) DC will lead a workday on January 24 to remove vines on the trees between 12 and 13 and clear a leaning tree over 10 Blue's fairway.
5-DEPC Presentations)Max was the only one to present a plan to run the 2015 DEPC. All voted for. A summary of his proposal will be posted below.
6-Next meeting location) Professor O'Cools on Feb 11 @ 7PM.
7-Inventory tracking)Adam proposed we add an inventory list to our website that gets updated monthly or quarterly. Everyone present is favorable to the idea, however their are questions about the feasibility and reliability of it staying up to date. Max will make a spreadsheet and share it to the website and work with DC to post inventory.
7A-Vouchers) Discussion from Adam's proposal got the idea rolling of having an expiration for vouchers. We felt there were to few people and this was not an announced agenda item so it will be tabled until the February meeting.
8-End of Year Summary)Adam made the suggestion we publish an annual report which consolidates all our event attendance, revenue, membership, etc into one article. The secretary will lead getting this report published with the help of Officers, Board members, and those that ran events in the past year. Expect it to be published in April at the start of the next doubles season.

Here is the updated points for the GVDG Monthly series. As always please check behind me that was a lot of people to calculate points for. Only 2 monthlies left to win free entry to the DEPC. Intermediate is the most contested but you cant blink in the Adv or Pro. But I am thinking Leanne has the ladies division all wrapped up. With PDGA divisions being a little different than our monthlies I've moved a few people around to be in their normal monthly divisions, I only did this for a few that are serious contenders for the points. If you would like all of your points in one division let me know and we can get them changed.

June Club Meeting

Club Meeting Agenda

The GVDG Club Meeting is this Wednesday, June 11 @ 7:00pm at Big Bubba’s Burgers near Pitt Community College. Club meetings are open to everyone and current club members are eligible to vote on agenda items. So join us on Wednesday for some food, fun, & focus-time on the following agenda:

Doubles Price Increase

Over the last 10 years the club has been in existence we have never raised the price on any of our discs. As you can imagine, disc manufacturers have risen along with inflation. Because we value paying out as many players as financially possible on Monday & Thursday evening, we will be discussing & voting on a possible price increase for doubles registration. 

Upcoming Workday for New Benches

Stew has done an amazing job of building the club some new benches to replace several rotting ones. We’ll need some help setting these new benches into place. We’ll be voting on a day so that we can make this happen. 

Down East Players Cup Preparations

October is right around the corner and we are starting preparations for the DEPC. All members present will be voting on the invested amount of merchandise for CFR discs. These are the custom order discs that will feature the DEPC 2014 logo! 

Possible New Disc Golf Course For Greenville

The GVDG club officers & board members have been invited by the city of Greenville to the Bradford Creek Golf Course next week to discuss the possibility of expanding this ball-golf course to include a Disc Golf Course. Bradford Creek is looking for various options to increase traffic and revenue for their grounds.
