3. New Business (after Director’s reports)
- Purchase of a defribilator for the club. Ron suggested that it could be a liability issue. Agreed not to pursue.
- Tennis BC Membership Options:. It was discussed that many of our Cap members don’t play competitive tennis and it was asked if we should continue to pay for GOLD Membership with Tennis BC. We pay $22 per member for GOLD Membership versus $49 per member if we did not have GOLD Membership. GOLD Membership cannot be attained for only those members who play competitive tennis. It must be attained for the entire membership, or none at all. It was determined that we should continue with the GOLD Membership.
