The meeting was called to order by President David Kikel at 1:30.
2.
The minutes from the March 7 meeting were approved.
3.
Treasurer Pam Martin reported that we collected $1,147.08 in
March, including $806 that was paid by members for T-shirts and hats. We spent $985.18 on T-Shirts and hats. Other expenses totaled $415.41. We have $12,213.68 in our checking account. Advanced Round Robin players from outside
Quail Creek donated $203 for new balls.

Committee Reports
a.
Membership Chair Marie Still reported that we have a total of
283 paid members with 78 new members.
b.
Communications/Website Chair Jo-Anna Kikel reported that the
monthly newsletter is suspended for summer, but will be sent out as needed.
Mail Chimp and Sign-Up Genius are working well.
Jo-Anna is working with Bill Maki and Ken Holman to find a different
provider for the website that would make it easier to update. She would like
various chairs to be able to upload their own information, e.g., the membership
list and the minutes. She is still
looking for someone to take over her responsibilities in 2017.
c.
Court Management Chair Rich Pokorski reported that the courts
are not being blown off and power washed as often as they should be. He had spoken to General Manager Mike Taylor
about this. Rich has ordered new balls
from Pickleball Central. Two boxes are
cheaper than what we were paying before.
He also asked that the backorder for the new style of balls be
canceled. A question about whether we
should remove some balls in the summer because of lower usage was raised. Rich
will see what court maintenance individuals think about this. Some Robson pickleball clubs have proposed
having a Robson Cup tournament next year.
Rich suggested that we have a representative on the committee planning
any such tournament..
5.
Court Reservations & Usage
a.
Courts 1-4 can be reserved; Courts 5-12 are for Club Play in
the mornings; Courts 13-16 are for drop in play. This was a problem when Assisted Play was
using Courts 1-4. This will need to be
dealt with next season when Assisted Play begins again.
b.
Assisted play ended for the season. We will start it again next season after introductory
lessons in December.
c.
Wednesday round robin ended for the
season. We will talk about re-starting
it next fall. There were problems both
with separating groups by skill level and with merged groups, especially with
the men. Rich suggested that it would be
better to use something like A, B, and C levels rather than actual pickleball
ratings. In Fall, we may have to move to
different days for men and women if we get large numbers of people signing up.
d.
Thursday Advanced play has ended,
but Saturday Advanced play will continue for now. Will need to move the Saturday Advanced to
earlier in the morning. Open play now lasts until 11. Advanced Play could reserve Courts 1-4 for
summer and we would still have 4 drop in courts.
e. An issue came up about use of Club Play courts (5-12) if other courts are
full and no one is on some of them. The
Board agreed that if the Club Play courts aren’t all being used and if other
courts are full, then Quail Creek residents and guests may use the open Club
Play courts.
f. Club Play is for Members Only. Members
shouldn’t bring non-Club people to Club Play.
Technically, house guests also should not be able to participate in Club
Play. The general rule is that residents
who are not Club Members and non-residents should not play.
6.
2017 meeting room reservations. We have the Kino Board Room reserved for a
Board meeting each month, usually on the first Monday. Member meetings are scheduled for February
and November.
7.
Capital improvements—George Mynatt has determined where the
shade awnings should go to eliminate shade on the courts at different times of
the day. George, Mike Taylor, and David Kikel
met with a contractor about the shade awnings.
We are addressing the shade awnings first and later we will address the
shed.
Pickleball back board- Green Valley has one that is 8 X 12 ft. It costs about $2,000. Our fence is much lower and the middle brace
would not work for our situation. Our
membership would like to have this, so we should consider it, but it needs to
be smaller than the GV one. We could
either buy it or it could be a capital improvement project? But we need a proposal that would work for
us. David will look into finding
something more feasible and run it by Mike Taylor to see if there are any
objections from Robson.
8. Events
a.
The Firemen’s tournament was a success. They will probably want to do it again next
year.
b.
The Senior Games were March 9-11 and were very well attended. We need a coordinator for next year.
c.
Play/party planned events –A Dink Fest followed by a
continental breakfast is scheduled for April 20. We will also have some event for the 4th
of July.
8.
A second order of shirts and hats has been submitted.
9.
John Hughes and his committee (Cindy Pokorski, Ruth Maki, and
Doug Stacken) are creating a Policy and Procedures Manual. It should be ready for Board consideration at
the June meeting.
10.
The next Board meeting is on June 6 at 1:00, in Silver Room
#1.
Respectfully submitted,
Ruth Maki, Secretary
