A few minutes were taken for Marc to collect any Lottery fundraiser money that could be handed in.  In was decided that people who sold tickets would hold onto the stubs until Scott returns.  Perhaps he will be available at the party to collect these.  Any who has sold lottery tickets, please send the selected numbers to cabinet@bcdga.org, and please feel free to keep selling them.

Ice Bowl - This weekend, Saturday, 1/8/2005 at Tyler.  10 am tee off, 9:30 players meeting, 1 round of 25 holes. Maybe not very Icy but for a good cause.  Remember to bring LOTS of canned goods, that is what it is all about.$25 to play, players package for all, plus door prizes. 10 cans gets you $5 off your entry feel.  10 more cans gets you a mulligan.  For full details please visit our website at http://www.bcdga.org/index.asp?QS_Page=Ice2. Do not miss out on your chance to have hot dog split sundaes.  Andrew, & John M. will be setting up the tent Friday around 3pm if you want to swing by and give and hand.  This year does feature the return of the ice block trophies. (ATTN PROS: this event is for charity, no cash will be paid out to pros, prizes and trophies only)

The clubs yearly celebration (end of year/beginning of year) party will be held Jan 22 2005 at Marc & Nikki Brooks' house.  The party will run from 6pm until we get kicked out by management.  Here is some additional information you need to know:

Our shed at the Park maintenance yard was destroyed when a trailer of canoes blew into it.Our items are safely in storage in Park facilities. The park has offered to replace it for us, at the cost of the one we had.  We agreed to research the cost of a sturdier one, a little bigger, and for the club to cover the difference in the cost.  Stay tuned for the results of Joe Margay's research.

Joe Mela will get the wood needed for hole #14, around the old 14C in the tree location.  Andrew and crew have agreed to begin work on that once the would has been placed on location.  Dave Martinez has been out on the course recently doing clean up from fall storm damage.  No official clean up / work day is scheduled at this time.

John Duesler joined us to speak to us about the 2005 Pro World's  He has asked the BCDGA to be in charge of running 6 days worth of golf at the Lehigh Parkway course.  He described to us what is involved, the basics of a tournament, not unlike what we do for any tournament anyway.  We need 4-5 people each day of the worlds to help out, July 25-30th, so far, Stephen, Rex, John M., & Andrew have volunteered their time for the entire week.  Please email the cabinet if you are interested in volunteering your time for all or any part of that week.  The final round will be played at the Parkway course on Saturday the 30th.  Please visit http://www.2005worlds.org The club also discussed sponsoring the 2005 worlds and agreed to commit to a $500 sponsorship level.

Our Webmaster Stephen sought and received approval to put up a forum page for people to submit disc golf related articles on our website.  The first articles are some written by Hobie.

Kevin played for us the most recent Disc Golf monthly which is just finished putting together, it includes footage from the Hoffman Christmas Horror and from 2005 New year's at Sedgley.

Hey everyone, the Clubhouse has good drink, good food at good prices, and give us a discount for the number of people we have.  The more we have the more of a discount.  So come on out.  Next meeting, 2/1/05, at 07:30pm.

Thanks all.....
