Wednesday, October 23^rd, 2002

Mary's House

Roll Call: Ginette, Luc, Doug, Keith, Ken, Chris, Wendy, Mike & Mary

Absent: Karen, Jeanette, Jeff, and Kate

1. Welcome - Dinner



2. The new ORA Binders were distributed.



3. Shot Clock: 2/50 ft extension cords will be purchased to put in each shot clock set. Waterloo (except Albert McCormick), Elora-Fergus, and Guelph have shot clocks in their arenas at present. The petite level will have 30 second stop, same as the other age groups. The boxes have arrived for the shot clocks.

Discussion re: distribution. Luc suggested 1 clock set per centre e.g. #1 at Dorchester arena so Tillsonburg and London would both have easy access. #2 Chatham, #3 Forest, #4 Stratford/Mitchell, #5 Kitchener, #6 Owen Sound. Who will look after each clock set? Have an area co-ordinator, place calendar on the web so the associations can see when it is booked. Kitchener - Ginette, Dorchester - Mary, Chatham - Janet?, Forest - Betty Ann or use Exeter, Grey-Bruce - Fred ?, Stratford - Luc. The survey should be in the box for people to fill out. The arena's that have shot clocks should fill one out also. Find out which centres have shot clocks already. Talk to Cambridge, maybe borrow if needed. Shot Clock Clinic?? Jeff will cover under Officiating Clinics.

1. Jack Reynolds will be at our November meeting to talk to us about Trillium Grants. Associations can apply for their own separate grant to purchase a shot clock.
