WWSCC Meeting Minutes

September 18, 2006

Rogue Brewery, Issaquah, WA

 

Attendance: Karl Coleman-President, Amy Olson-TS and BSCC, Annie Bauer, Glenn Austin, Enrique Garcia-BEAC, Steven Yao-UWFSAE, Dieter Beldi-ACE and PSMC, Ann Wilson-NWDE, Kris Dahl, Karen Babb, Ed Dahl-CSCC, Kelley Picasso- Treasurer, John Henderschedt- Secretary

 

Steven Yao needs to be added to the WWSCC list.

Approval of August Minutes – The amended August meeting minutes were approved without opposition.

 

Treasurer’s Report – Kelley Picasso provided a treasurer’s report (attached). There is currently $10,733 in the bank.

 

Since there are no more scheduled events, we can have the Honey Buckets picked up from the Everett site. BEAC, however, is having an event in October, so BEAC will pay the October fee.

 

The Corvette Club apparently used the Honey Buckets on Saturday prior to ACE’s event, so BEAC needs to collect a fee from the Corvette Club and ACE won’t be charged for Honey Bucket service.

 

Kelley will send out preliminary invoices.

 

BEAC needs to be charged for 1/3 the cost of the cones.

 

The income from the Coneheads practice was $1,225. There is $400 left over from last year. This is enough to get the upcoming banquet ticket price to $30.

 

We still have Slush banquet funds.

 

Old Business –

 

• NWDE Clothing Optional – Ann Wilson reported on the event. The event went well. Thanks to WWSCC and BEAC for their support. There was a rules question regarding a change in the first slalom. There was also a concern that they’d not gone deep enough in trophy awards, but the rulebook outlines minimum trophy requirements and some additional guidelines. Clubs are required to meet the minimum requirements (which NWDE did) but are not bound by the guidelines.

 

We should discuss the potential need to draft a rule change to address course changes for reasons other than safety.

 

NWDE Clothing Optional received a sufficient number of “yes” votes and was approved.

 

• BEAC Enduro – It was a good event with good weather. Everyone liked the use of the new “last lap” flag. BEAC Enduro received a sufficient number of “yes” votes and was approved.

 

New Business –

 

• ACE Dogfight – There was not much rain in the a.m. – more in the p.m. The p.m. half of the day ran more slowly. There were some timing issues, and there was less overlap. Mark Stanley left after one run and did not do his work assignment. Two other guys from Portland left before doing their work assignments. Ron will post their names to the list. ACE may ban these guys from their events and may make a similar recommendation to the other clubs.

 

There were several course questions for the rules stewards. There should be some guidelines for dealing with a car left on the lot. This has been a common occurrence this season. We may have to post signs on Friday night. There was additional discussion regarding guidelines for course design safety and whether it may be necessary to have courses approved by a safety officer.

 

• WWSCC Equipment – There has been no progress on the BEAC hold-harmless. Brett Wilson will keep the timing equipment.

 

• Website Stuff – Glenn can now make changes to the website and is working with Alan to get past spam filters. They are making progress in getting other clubs’ lists off of the WWSCC account. Glenn will get Steven Yao added to the mailing list.

 

• Trophies – Dieter needed to have some idea of the banquet date in order to have the trophies in time. He also confirmed that he can use the results on the website to determine trophy recipients. Dieter will bring a different gear bag next month. First place winners will receive a jacket while 2^nd – 5^th places will get bags. All trophy recipients will get a cap.

 

• The rules meeting will take place during the first week in December.

 

• Elections – Nominations are in October. Elections will be in November.

 

• Coneheads Banquet- The banquet may have to be moved into early February although the last weekend in January would be a great time.

 

Next Meeting Location – Rogue Brewery, Issaquah

 

Adjourn – The meeting adjourned without objection at 8:55 p.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

John Henderschedt

Secretary
