Pat Mar, Marie Hart and Will Hart have put on another amazing Christmas Party for our membership on December 4, 2013. The food was delicious and the conversation was delightful. We even had a special guest appearance by Old Saint Nick.
Bob Benefiel and Bob Thomas provided a recap of the tournament season and presented the Championship Awards:
President, Mark Edgar provided a overview of the club and the following are some of his highlights:
As president, his Top 5 indicators of a healthy club are:
Board of Directors: Is the Board of Directors stable? Yes, it is stable. Many board members have held positions since the beginning of the club. And he encourged anyone wanting to join the next board to step up and let the current board know.
Membership: Is the membership going up or down? Our membership is up 16% from 82 in previous years to 95 in 2013. (27 New & 68 Returning)
Tournament Participation: Is tournament participation trending up or down? Both the Midweek Group and Weekend Group tournament participation is up from previous years. From a membership perspective, he notes players are enjoying each others company after the matches are over and strong attendance at the annual Christmas Parties, both are signs of a healthy club.
Finances / Budget: Are we finacially strong? Yes, we are forecasting to land the budget where we started the year, right around $1,000. This has been our goal for the last 5 years and we have been successful in doing so.
Membership Participation: Are members having fun and enjoying their time spent at the club?Yes, from a membership perspective, he notes players are enjoying each others company after the matches are over. As a matter of fact, many members continue to have pick up games outside of scheduled tournament dates. Plus we have a strong attendance at the annual Christmas Parties, all are signs of a healthy club and members are having fun.
Mark then talked a golf:
Freeport Cup: In June, BCGC won it's 5th Freeport Cup Title, now tied with Grips Fast (5), followed by Land Park & Bing Maloney (1 each)
Bing Maloney: Bing has expressed interest in combining some weekend tournaments with BCGC to increase tournament participation during 2014.
Land Park Ladies: During 2013, we joined the ladies for a Ice Breaker Tournament last January and plans are in the works for another ion January 18, 2014.
Kathy Leuterio was kind enough to take more than 150 pictures from the event. You can follow this link to see pictures that night: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AZMmzhu5buFNXI. Thank you Kathy.
