Outings:
Pt Reyes Was a great outing. Perfect Weather, food, friends, rides, trails, music, and cowboy poetry.
Cherryl reported she will make reservations to Bort Meadows for 2015, February 1. Hopefully It will be the weekend after Labor Day. Wednesday -Sunday, September 9-13, 2015. If that date is available if not she will try for another weekend in Sept. Bort meadows charges $200 a night for group camping, for a total of $800. She will need a commitment and money for 9 rigs, at $80 per rig/ not people…… for four nights. One rig and as many people/horses as you want in that rig. This is a real bargain. Call Cherryl at 530-272-9222 to reserve a spot.
The dates for Jack Brooks remain the same June 24-28, 2015. There is only one on the waiting list so call Cherryl if you want to go.
New Business:
Gold Country Ride discussion:
Pam announced Daanan Stamper will be her co-manager for the ride. The date is July 11, 2015
Donations: Cindy stated we contributed $250 to the airport for the use of their facilities for the vet check. She also paid the bill/contribution of $300 as requested by S.O.S . Following a discussion by club members , Potato moved and Trina 2nd we make a $500 donation to Dru Barner Park. The motion passed. Any further donations will be tabled until after the 2015 ride, as we need to keep a good balance to put on the ride.
Ride fees: After a suggestion by Pam Bailie, ride manager and discussion by members, Karin moved we raise our fee to $100, and $85 if paid 15 days before the ride. Junior fee will be $50. The motion was seconded by Daanan and passed.
Insurance: Joe Larkin stated our ride is covered by AERC insurance. That is the only ride we put on so he suggested we do not need club insurance any longer. Potato moved and Pam seconded to discontinue our insurance. The motion passed.
Becky mentioned at our last meeting members inquired about Club T shirts/Jackets/mugs. Andrew volunteered to check prices and marketing and report to the board before our meeting in January.
