We had eight dedicated disc golfers attend the monthly meeting tonight at Pete's Wicked Grill on Red Banks, near Moe's and the bowling alley. Attendees were Adam, Max, Sean, Todd, myself, Erin and Kurt, and Richard, who is an old-school GVDG'r making a comeback.
Next month's meeting will be January 11 at Hooters!
In terms of finances, Todd let us know we currently have $3785 in our account, though we still have some bills to work out with Innova in regard to disc inventory. Todd is checking with Southern Bank to see if we have a minimum balance requirement for our account, and their answer will allow us to make an informed decision about what to purchase for Ice Bowl players packs.
Speaking of this year's Ice Bowl, we've set a date: Sunday, January 22, 2012. We're hoping to hold the first-ever Ice Bowl at ECU's North Rec. Complex (NRC) course to garner support for ECU's new disc golf club and competitive team, the ECU Wind Dogs. We will also be having a Chili Cook-off with cool prizes, including the coveted "Best Chili" trophy, going to the best Chili cook! Everyone is encouraged to participate. Kinston will be having their Ice Bowl on February 18, so we hope a lot of GVDG'rs can make it out there and support their event, too.
The 2012 Down East Players Cup will be part of the North Carolina Disc Golf Points Series. Cash prizes are up for grabs, so give Robert Leonard's summary a read.
Sean Gough is going to run a year-long points series for GVDG monthlies in 2012. Every other month will be a "fun" monthly (backwards golf, safari golf, mando madness, etc.), and the months in between will be straight-up disc golf, maybe with a round or two of doubles mixed in to make things interesting. Sean is developing his ideas for the series and the 2012 monthly schedule, so more to come on this in January. The Ice Bowl on January 22 will be the first event of the series.
Green Springs Park (GSP) still needs some work, but this is the year we will complete the project! The more people who come out and chip in, the sooner we'll have another 18 holes in Greenville. As always, bring gloves, machetes, saws, clippers, and other tools if you have them.
GSP Work Day: Saturday, Dec. 17 @ Noon
GSP Work Day: Sunday, Jan. 8 @ 2:00 (after Sunday Baggers)

DEPC Courses Locations--Google Maps Links
North Recreational Complex-ECU Course (Played on Saturday)
This link shows the satellite view to show you the entrance to the parking lot; which is on the South side of the park, not the North side where Google's directions takes you.
West MeadowBrook Park (Played on Sunday)
Disc Golfers,
The above links will direct you to the two courses we're playing for this year's DEPC.
One slight problem: the ECU course directions will tell you to enter the complex via Whichard Road, but this is NOT how to enter. Please enter via 264 East towards Washington on the South side of the park. Follow the tall soccer fields lights that are visible from the highway! The disc golf course borders them!

GVDG Meeting Minutes, July, 2011
We had our monthly meeting on Wednesday, July 13 at Christy's Euro Pub. In attendance was Adam, Todd, Max, Jeb, Kurt, John Upchurch, and myself.
Financially speaking, the club has $2783 in the bank, though there is roughly $1300 worth of bills that will be paid by Todd very soon. To avoid paying outrageous fees to Bank of America for the club's bank account, Todd will be looking into getting a credit (not debit) card for the club. As long as the club makes at least one charge per month (and it can be for any amount, no matter how small), the charges will only be $30/year. Without getting the credit card, the charges are going to be at least $30/month.
Mus is going to be running the August monthly on Saturday, August 20. Details TBD.
WORK DAY SCHEDULED: Saturday, July 30, 10:00 a.m.
WORK DAY SCHEDULED: Sunday, August 14, 1:00 p.m. or after Sunday Baggers
The club's officers are meeting at Green Springs Park on Tuesday, July 19 to assess what needs to be done out there now that we have some resources to finish the project. More to come on that.
In hopes to revisit previous monetary donors of the DEPC, Max is going to generate a list of former donors. We've received our first $50 donation already from Steve Rogers!
Match-play rounds for paid entry into the DEPC can begin Saturday, July 30 and will go through the beginning of October.
Todd has been working very hard for the last two years creating a relationship with ECU and developing an 18-hole disc golf course at North Campus Crossing. This is NOT easy to do, but he persisted and completed the project at the beginning of July. The course will not open until classes begin for the fall semester (which is sometime around August 20); however, ECU is allowing the club to hold doubles at the new course on Thursday, July 28. (This has been pushed back to August due to issues with the concrete contractor) This will allow everyone to come out and see Todd's hard work and show the ECU folks that the course will be used and appreciated by our club. So come out to Thursday dubs that day even if you normally don't, and show your support.
Next club meeting will be August 10 at East Coast Wings on 10th Street.
