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.

I know a lot of people have been looking for some new plastic in the club store lately. Unfortunately it was not prudent to order additional discs due to the large amount that was previously left in the store. All of last year we only made one disc order, and that was used primarily to replenish base line DX plastic that was low. Thankfully with the start of a new doubles season we are finally in a comfortable place to order new plastic and we are looking for as much input as possible. Please post here or contact a club officer about any plastic from Prodigy, Discraft, and Innova that you would like to see ordered. We will be looking into additional vendors after this order.

Thank you.
