EMC working with us to repair and replace our lights. PTCBMX can put in $1000. City can match that in October.

 

Travis Woodruff: Discussion on his clinics. Apology offered to parents if he offended anyone with his sermons. Was not his intent. Would like to continue offering the clinics under the PTCBMX Parents/USABMX banner. These are set for Monday. There will be a $5 charge to cover expenses through November. If successful will revisit for 2013 budget. There may be no charge for 2013 if sponsorship available. Also viewed the option of Travis being compensated for his time. At meeting after all agenda items had been discussed,  Travis was asked to run the clinics through September and if successful, after the track has covered their expenses and insurance charge, the track would compensate Travis for his time October and November. This would also be revisited for 2013. If we have other single A pros who also want to offer their services for this Monday night practice clinic, discussion. Ashley Hill and Tim Willis have offered their services for Free on these nights too. 3 month trial period.  

 

Krupi South District Points challenge offered through Alabama. PTCBMX will be a part of the challenge. Robert Wiginton to send all details and will track points. No further action on our part.
