Viking Canoe Club Meeting Minutes

Minutes
March 08 Minutes:
• $500 was paid for Plum gravel. It is decided that this matter is now closed.
• $1328 were received for boat raffle at the dinner party
$960 was taken in from membership dues
-$500 went to AW for the boat raffle
-$600 to CanoeKY for the boat raffle (I did not get the exact amount, if someone has that exact number, could you please update)
As I understand it, there were some extra expenses that actually put the club a little bit in the negative from this raffle.
• Forum speed issues
- Viking forum is shared with other sites on the same hardware, and this is thought to be causing the speed issues that people are observing.
- Greg Miller(?) offered to host forum on his personal server. He will talk with Spalding about feasibility. Motion made and agreed that if it is feasible, the site will be moved.
• Spring clinic
- May 30th weekend (Memorial Day weekend)
- Brian Sandman is the point person for this event. He will provide more details at a future time.
• Elkhorn Acres
Management issues have spurred certain officers in the BWA to try to establish more authority over Elkhorn Acres than what AW has provided. The current leadership appears to be working around the representative management that exists today, which gives a vote to each member who originally purchased shares in the property when it was auctioned off to American Whitewater. It is considered that the purpose of these actions is to streamline certain decided agendas, which may conflict with American Whitewater's intentions for the site, and this has caused concern among members in the club, as well as members in the Viking and Bardstown Boaters clubs.
Discussions on Monday proposed creating a chair committee to replace Elkhorn Acres Management Group to take care of management issues. The committee would include representatives from Vikings, BWA & Bardstown Boaters. As to the legal authority of this decision, or whether or not this would solve the management issues, is questionable.
• Swift water / First aid
Darrin & Kevin H. have joined the safety committee to help Todd S. in his efforts.
