2.0 Adoption of minutes (Sept 27/09): Scott/Mark.

3.0 Treasurer’s report
Balance remains at $xxxx.xx. Mark Stewart submitted payment for one new member, thus balance will increase to $xxxx.xx, as there were no expenditures this month.

3.0 Business arising from the minutes:
1.) Newsletter – Reg will contact Rolf, to determine number/frequency required as per national bylaws.

4.0 New Business:
1.) Sponsors – It was felt that there was a need to canvass sponsors to determine which of the previous sponsors are interested in remaining so. Kelsey’s restaurant is now defunct. Dilawri, Complete Wheel Shop, The Dent Clinic, and Innovation Audio remain as previous sponsors. Reg will contact Innovation Audio.
New sponsors: Discussion was held regarding potential new sponsors including CWS (Cam Waugh)(Scott will approach), Minute Muffler (“Kelly” – Reg will contact), Tire Rack (Reg. will contact), eshine.ca (Allan will contact), Drew Brady (has offered to sponsor).

2.) Golf putt challenge – Further to previous discussion regarding this game of chance that the insuring company agreed to allow us to redo (as the Euro Show was rained out), it was previously decided that we would run a repeat of this at Dilawri BMW. Scott and Reg will contact Dilawri to finalize a date.

3.) Euroshow Committee – Committee will meet in January. Scott has agreed to head the committee. Date of Euroshow has still not been finalized. Scott will follow up (will contact Kathy to obtain contact email to book Legislative Building parking lot and ascertain a date). Discussion was held regarding which organization we should have benefit from the Euroshow. It was suggested (Drew) that we might consider the Humane Society as well as Hopes Homes. It was also suggested (Scott) that we as a club perform volunteer work – e.g. – Telemiracle, Adopt a family at Christmas, Humane society, Habitat for Humanity.
It was also decided that we would change the Euroshow such that the show would be held on the first of two days (Saturday), followed by a track day half session on the second day (Sunday).

4.) Track Days – In 2009, we booked two Saturday half-sessions, and four Thursday evening sessions. Track Day coordinator (Drew) will follow up by contacting Rod Ziegler.
It was suggested (Scott) that we have track days associated with additional events, and that we perhaps hold our monthly meetings on the same night as the track days (?supper meetings, ?BBQs at members homes). Discussion held regarding same.

5.) Christmas party – currently slated for December 05, 2009. In light of various members being unable to attend on this date, it was decided to change the date to Friday, December 04, 2009.

6.) Web site – Following short discussion, it was decided to omit the treasurer’s report from the minutes. As well, it was decided that we should try and have the colour scheme of the web site match the club’s colours. Mark will discuss with Jon.
