Review: We had 18 people participate in the PDGA Affiliate Clubs
program. Nobody has received their 2004 PDGA ID cards in the mail yet.
According to the PDGA, they should arrive very early in the year,
which should be any day now.

Jack Hillard and Mike Soult asked to take the officials test. Eric will email it to them.

The Lexington Ice Bowl is this Saturday the 17th. Everett read a letter of suggested
donations. This is a fund-raising event for charity for the Martin Luther King Youth
Service Center. Eric posted details on Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinatti’s web
messages boards and emailed the details to Bowling Green for distribution.

Team play rules overview from John Bartram was reviewed. Randall will make copies
and distribute them to the members.

Randall expressed a desire to do more marathon disc golf events for fund raising
and positive publicity.

Randall suggested a voting process which was discussed. The club should require a
minimum of 8 votes at a meeting for urgent issues to be decided. For non-urgent
issues, the vote should be carried our at the next meeting and all members should
have a chance to vote either at the meeting or by proxy if they can’t make the meeting.

Lexington Open VI will be re-scheduled again for March 27-28, 2004. Everett had cancelled
it for lack of help. Greg volunteered to be the primary TD. Randall volunteered to be the
secondary TD. Randall will re-send the $75 to the PDGA for the Lexington Open VI sanctioned
tournament B-tier fee. March 1st is the deadline for sponsors to pay for the sponsor signs.
Randall is tracking the sponsors. Jack H. has sold at least 8 signs already! Approximately
22 total are already sold. Tournament party was suggested for Saturday night. Jack H. will
assemble all the CTP and players packages. March 21st is the deadline for CTP and players
package donations. We need a list of everything left to do. Eric volunteered to type up the
program and the flyer and assist with emailing out the flyer and posting it on area web sites.
Eric will email Randall and Greg a copy of last year’s TD report. We talked about having a
tournament committee and possibly meeting every 2 weeks or twice a month until tournament time.

The next meeting will be at Trumps in Chevy Chase at 6:00pm on Wednesday February 11.

December 10, 2003 Meeting Minutes

Meeting held at 6:00pm at Trump's in Chevy Chase
People who showed up:
Randall Roseman (President)
Tom Watters (Treasurer) & his son TJ
Eric Dodson (Secretary)
Randy Smith (Web Master)
John Bartram
Jack Hillard
Keith Mallder
Bennett Prestridge

John Franklin (Vice President) was unable to make the meeting due
to finals. Everett Lasley (Sales & Courses) was unable to to make
the meeting due to surgery. A few other members were unable to make
it but expressed interest in helping with the Lexington Open VI.

Dues were paid by:
Bennett Prestridge $20 Congratulations to the newest BDGA member!!

PDGA Affiliate Clubs program update: everyone joining or renewing with
the PDGA for 2004 must pay tonight. Jack Hillard paid $35 for
Russell Burnett. Randall Roseman paid $35 for Greg Shearer. John Bartram
paid $35. Everyone else who said they would join has paid. We had a total
of 18 people participate in this program! Eric Dodson deposited everyone's
checks on 12/10 and will submit the form to the PDGA as soon as possible.
(Note as I type up the minutes: As of 12/13 I received all the missing info,
such as addresses, and I submitted the form to the PDGA Office.)

Anyone who participated in the affiliate club program is now entitled to
take the PDGA Officials Test for FREE, which normally requires a $10 fee.
Everyone is encouraged to do so but is not required. To do so, email the
office@pdga.com and give your name and address and PDGA number (if you
already have one), and request the free official?s test. You must note that
you are a member of the affiliate club program through the BDGA for 2004.

Future members wanting to join or renew 2004 PDGA dues through the club
can do so, but this must be done in groups of 10 people in order to get
the $5 discount and to be able to take the official?s test for free.

Randall Roseman raised the issue of personal disc sales on the BDGA web
site. No action was taken, however everyone was encouraged to think about
this issue and discuss it, and possibly vote on it at the next meeting.
The issue is whether or not the BDGA needs a policy on the web site (message
board) regarding selling disc golf discs or merchandise for personal gain
and how this affects the club, since it is the club's web site, and the
club sells discs, so are we competing against ourselves when we do this?
Should we ban it, should we allow it for members, should we require a
commission on the honor system, should we allow it for used discs and not
new discs, or new discs won at tournaments, are there legal issues involved,
etc. These were the types of things discussed.

Keith Mallder noted that Everett had just received 40 new DX (regular
plastic) discs and 37 Pro Line (or Z-plastic) discs in. Everett has the
discs available for sale now. Prices for regular discs are 1 for $7 ($6 for
members) or 2 for $13 ($11 for members), Pro Line/Z-plastic are 1 for $10
($9 for members) or 2 for $19 ($17 for members).

$243 was spent on Ice Bowl stuff. The Ice Bowl will be held Saturday
January 17, 2004. It will be 2 rounds at Veterans Park in Lexington.
This year we'll require a $5 cash donation on top of entry fee instead of
actual food items. The cash will be donated to buy food, and the cash will
go farther with the food people buying the food as opposed to each disc
golfer buying food at the retail grocery store price. Entry fees will be
$20 for ams and $25 for pros. Martin Luther King Youth Service Center.

Lexington Open VI is now scheduled for March 27-28, 2004. Everett Lasley
sent in the $75 to the PDGA for the sanctioned tournament B-tier fee. We
need everyone's help to sell sponsor signs to raise money for the tournament.
We need people to take the PDGA Officials test.

Watch for people breaking trees on the courses! It was reported that
several small trees had been torn down from Veterans Park hole #9. Call
the police immediately if you see someone doing this. Write down license
plate numbers in the parking lot, etc.

Veterans Park course maintenance was discussed. Specifically, the first
concern was the cutting of additional trees. Do additional trees need to
be cut or should we leave the course as-is? It was suggested that the
course belongs to the city of Lexington and the BDGA as opposed to some
out-of-towners who may have complained about having too many trees. We
voted to leave the course as-is, as far as cutting trees goes. Safety is
still a concern, in that various size tree stumps are everywhere. The
stumps really need to be removed or cut flush with the ground as soon as
possible. Everyone is encouraged to help cut stumps down to make it safer.
A chainsaw tends to get clogged with dirt, so axes or other tools may be more efficient.
John Bartram suggested having a course challenge series for 2004, having
Ohio vs. Kentucky team challenges, and having the BDGA consider sponsoring
players. These were discussed at the meeting and no action taken.

Non-profit status was discussed. Do we need a bank account? What kind of
record keeping is required? How much will it cost. Everett Lasley has
paperwork typed up. Sponsor donations would be tax-deductible and therefore
could be larger and easier to obtain.

John Bartram suggested that the club looks into bag tags. This is a popular
thing now and has been successful for other clubs to raise money. The money is
raised by the initial sale of bag tags to anyone (buyer does not have to be a club member).
He gave an overview of how bag tags work, how challenges work. Different typs of tags
and their costs were discussed. Some of the questions were what about out of town or
out of state people buying tags. How to get them back, how to get them to show up, etc.
What happens if people refuse challenges? We would need someone to be the bag tag
administrator or coordinator. Nothing was voted on but it seemed like everyone was interested.
Tom Watters gave the treasurer's report for the club. He received $902 from Jack Wood.
You can contact Tom if you want to see the details, as I did not write down all the numbers.

Not discussed at the meeting, but as secretary I should note it here: For non-life
members, BDGA dues expire at the end of the calendar year. Our dues are just like the
PDGA in that they are based on the calendar year. There is a one-time exception for
new members who joined on or after September 1, in which case your dues carry you through
the following year too.

The next meeting will be at Trumps in Chevy Chase at 6:00pm on Wednesday January 14.

All were in favor of joining the PDGA Affiliate Clubs program
as soon as possible. Eric will send in $20 for the club to get
the forms from the PDGA. Each BDGA member can join or renew with
the PDGA for 2004 and save $5, get a course directory, and opt to
take the officials test for free ($10 value). Eric will email reminders
to all members once the forms are available. PDGA sign-ups must be done in groups of 10.

We voted to allow first time league players to play the first round
free. This is an incentive to get new players into the league while
developing their handicap for the first time with no risk of losing money.
This will be effective once league starts again in spring of 2004.
This information needs to be posted on the web and the bulletin boards.

Lexington Open VI to be held tentatively the last weekend in March 2004.

remain up on each course for 1 year from March to March.

Other notes:
Veterans Park needs more work done, especially holes 3,6 and 15
Everett recently ordered a variety of Discraft discs.
