GENERAL MEETING
MARCH 11, 2014
The meeting was called to order at 3:27 by Richard Ferris, President. The new Board members were introduced.
Social Outing - Linda Richter announced that a social outing was being planned, possibly on April 12th at either Catalina State Park or the Cadillac Chaparral Steak House. There also is a third option of a pool party at the Clubhouse. Catalina State Park would be a pot luck. There is a Ramada available at the Park that we could use.
Quail Creek- On April 8th a group of players will travel to Quail Creek for a friendly match with their Pickleball players. At this point, 32 people have signed up. Bill Reynolds said he is also speaking with Robson Ranch regarding a match with them.
Rich Ferris investigated renting a small bus for transportation to the match, but there was not enough interest in that plan to proceed. People will drive individually or in car pools.
Communication- Some individuals have expressed problems with getting timely news from the Association through emails. It was explained that there are three places on the website to get news: Club news; Special Events; and President's Corner. You must sign up for all three places individually to ensure you get all the emails from the club.
The sign up procedure was discussed. Anyone still having problems should contact one of the Board members or Ken Gorman for assistance.
Pickleball Festival - The First Annual Pickleball Festival will be held at SBR on April 19th, with qualifying matches beginning on April 14th and continuing during the week. Rich Ferris emphasized that this is not a Tournament but a time to have fun and enjoy the Pickleball experience here at the Ranch.
Bob Hills discussed the rules and bracketing for the festival. It is a double elimination match so if you lose a match you are not immediately eliminated but drop to the losers' bracket. Courts are blocked out for the Festival for the week.
There will be a blind draw close to the beginning of the Festival to select partners. When a team wins, they will split and have a new partner for the next match. Final matches on the 19th will have referees.
An appeal was made for help during the Festival at Scorer's Tables, moving chairs, water supply, etc.
Coaching - The Saddlebrooke coaches, who put on a clinic here recently, suggested that our own 3.0 and 3.5 players could coach the 2.5 and below players.
Miscellaneous - Players were asked to keep an eye out for a black bag of Pickleballs that have gone missing. A new order of 5 dozen has just been received.
The Treasurer's report reported there is $2,504.50 in the bank at this time.
There being no additional business, the meeting was adjourned at 4:23 p.m.
