From Dave Waller:

Fleshing out a couple of existing agenda items:
1. Event schedule: Proposal to try to schedule three meets per month (except perhaps June-August). Extra open meet in Feb, April, Sept, Nov and extra members meet in Jan, March, May, Oct, Dec.

2. Proposed mapping priorities for 2018:

A. Durant
B. Dorothea Dix
C. Eno River North
D. Contact TLC (Brumley, Horton Grove, Johnson Mill)
Discuss: Uwharrie/Birkhead & Umstead refresh

I’d offer a proposal that on one weekend day of the year, on a date for which there isn’t a BOK meet, club members meet at a park and volunteer to do maintenance, clean-up, or whatever else the park ranger could use help with.

From Joseph & Ruth:

Making events easier for organizers…

  • On-line registration including fees
  • Real-time results
  • participants entering their own names
