UPCOMING – AGM – April 28 – May 12 Rugby Club 7:00 pm

NOTE: we are moving the AGM to May 12, 2025 whih is just after mothers day

As you all know it has been a challenging year of darts. As discussed we felt it would be a good idea to have our AGM at the end of the year so that we have our incoming Exec set to promote a smooth start to the new season next year. In addition to voting in the new exec. and end of year meeting will permit us to discuss challenges and solutions while this year is fresh in our mind.

With the turnover we had from last year it is not immediately obvious to most what positions will be up for filling

President – Bob Sampson was in his second year when he resigned – Greg Beebe is Acting interm president for balance of year (Open Position)

Vice President – Position was open this year – Greg Beebe was Voted In(1 year remaining on term – Not open)

Secretary – Position was resigned 1 year early – Victoria Armstrong was voted in as interm (Open Position)

Treasurer – Position was open this year – Corinne Boychuk was voted in (1 year remaining on term – Not open)

Drawmaster – Position was resigned 1 year early – Tammy Sampson was elected then resigned – Daphne Pilgrim moved from a member at large position to interm Drawmaster (Open Position)

Bar Liason – Position was open this year – Deb Stirrat was voted in (1 year remaining on term – Not open)

Members at large – New position **Successful**- Corinne Reklow and Daphne Pilgrim were voted in (1 year remaining on term – Not open)…..but in saying that it would be nice to have a new one each year – Result TBD potential for 1 to stay and a yearly vote for second MAL. This year our 2 members at large have been instrumental in covering when needed.

ATTENTION TEAM CAPTAINS

We have changed the format from dropping of your game sheets at Oscar’s by N.L.T. Wednesday to …. taking a photo of the game sheets and emailing to drawmaster@dartsinthepark.com. We are still having some minor issues with a few teams. Discrepancies on player’s points are starting to occur and we are receiving calls and texts from players complaining that we haven’t put their high scores, or high outs on the stats on the web site. Let me clarify.

1. Team captains are to verify all player’s scores on both home and away game sheets including high outs, high scores, tons, and finishes. The only way to ensure this is not going to remain a problem, is for both home and away captains write down every high score, high finish, tons and finishes at the same time as they occur during game-play on both their sheets. We don’t want one team captain to keep scores and points and have the other captain simply copy the sheet at the end of the game.
2. It is both captains responsibilities to capture ALL scores as they occur on both team sheets no matter if your player has scored or the other team’s player has scored.
3. Captains are to the sign both sheets and then take a photo of the game sheet and email it to t.sampson@live.ca ON MONDAY NIGHT AFTER THE GAMES ARE FINISHED.
4. It is acceptable if one captain takes one photo of both game sheets together and emails them to the draw-master.
5. For the most part, almost all of you are doing everything right. We are 99% there. Lets put in an extra effort to make the game sheets accurate and sent in on Monday night after the games finish. Thank you for your continued co-operation.
6. Also, on an unrelated matter, please do not bring your own food or alcohol into any of the venues that already serve both. The only exception to the food rule is the Rugby Club because they do not have a kitchen where you can buy food.

27 November 2023

It has been brought to my attention that some teams have been “last minute” choosing a different venue that they want to play, other than their assigned venue, in conflict with the published schedules. This activity is to cease immediately. Teams have been assigned to play their pubs on the schedules, and additional staff is hired to accommodate our dart league. When teams don’t show up where they are supposed to be, this is an upset and a monetary loss in $$ to the venue. We have an on-going agreement with each venue and we will uphold our part of “the deal”. If a team continues to change the location of where they play, the stats will reflect a Zero for the evening for both teams not playing where they are supposed to play accordance with the published schedules.

27 November 2023
