Welcome to horseshoe pitching in Erie County, Pennsylvania... come and join the fun... indoor & outdoor leagues year round!


EHC Tournament Committee Meeting
(4/19/03, 9 AM) 

Attendees:   Bob DeCecco, Robert D. White, Robert F. White, Ruby Church, Sally Siegel, Joe Marschak, Sam Stafford

Absent:  Chuck Burkett, Steve Kuchcinski, Rod Chilcott, Harvey Hayes 

Meeting called to order at approximately 9:15 AM 

Points discussed during meeting: 

1)  Treasurer recommended that the breakeven cap be raised to $4600.00 due to added expenses such as 2nd place plaques, etc.

2)   It was recommended that we construct three small, temporary leader boards big enough to record results for two classes and place them near each class that is currently pitching so spectators can follow results as games are completed.  The member who is attending those classes will be responsible to record the W/L results on the leader board before turning in the score sheet to the stats tent.

3)  Club President reported that he contacted city officials and was able to persuade them to again waive all fees for event permits, etc.

4)  It was determined that we would be best off finding a licensed vendor to sub contract the concessions to rather than trying to comply with health dept., regulations, etc.  We will sell our own beverages through the sub contractor and get profits from beverages only and they will take all profits from food sales.  Joe Marschak will contact caterers, etc. and see if he can find one willing to work with us on our terms.

5)   The committee will meet to arrange the tournament pitching schedule for all classes, after the entry deadline.  Meeting will be Monday, June 16th, 5:30 PM.

6)   County Tournament details:  It was suggested that we completely mix the county tournament, having just one county champion this year.  It was also suggested that we hold a county doubles tournament on Saturday with singles to follow that afternoon or on Sunday. 

7)   The committee will meet to break up the membership list into call lists so that we can call all members and get worker support for the tournament.

8)   Central baseball Team is still planning on doing scorekeeping, so that is going well so far.

9)   Still need to settle issue of shoe limits/point limits in lower classes—waiting for report/suggestions from T.D. on this. 

Next meeting set for 5/17/2003, following club meeting, approx. 5 PM. 

Meeting adjourned at approximately 10:55 AM.
