Mid Can Masters
Executive meeting
Rod M, Francie, Tracey
1) Rod
Memberships/Pool rental
Membership- this year, 37 members
have joined to date, at this point last year there were 44. This is broken down into :
This year
last year
13 people 3 times a week 20
13 are 2 times a week 14
6 students 6
6 drop in N/A
(of the drop in members 5/6 were 2 or 3 times a week last
year)
Therefore our
deposit will be significantly smaller than last year (Around
$8000
which is about $3000 less than last year). We are down a significant
number of people
compared to last year, in terms of membership funds.)
Pool rental- Pop Sidwell,
for the meet, the pool rental of the Steinbach
pool has gone up. There was no warning this was to happen. Last year the
rental fee was around
$700, however this year it is $856. This is a %15
increase. Therefore the pool is costing us more to
rent.
Francie- AGM
-On Oct 18, Francie
suggests, that she will write a notice on the board
during our swim practice
to invite and remind members to come. Unfortunately
she has been unable
to talk to her chiropractor about coming as a guest
speaker.
-Rod (C) has kindly booked
-Kathleen has not mentioned any problems,
therefore we
believe
everything
is a go for her.
-We ask all executive members to
encourage people to come.
Pan Am -should Pan Am need to shut
down this season to clean/repair, etc.,
it will affect their
Masters team. We don’t know that there will be a shut
down for sure,
however, what can we offer them in the event of their pool
closure?
- We can offer them the drop in
rate.
Do they need to
pay any extra fees? (CASA)
No, as members of
their own club, there are no other registration fees.
-We can also pro-rate their swims,
so that if they are coming 3 times a
week for half a month,
they will pay for half a month. We don’t
want to
offer them a “deal”
that would not be offered to our own members, it just
wouldn’t be fair. So they may obviously join to swim with us,
at our
regular rates, pro-rated
if needed. ($30 for one month 3 times a week, or
$25 for 2 times a
week)
Water quality - since September the
water quality has been good. It seems
to be clear and much
more consistent. there have been the odd days where
it
has been cloudy, but
it seems to be less habitually than last year.
