Elaine has tried to find a venue and has been unsuccessful. Linda Thompson and Elaine proposed that the tournament be postponed until April 2008. Elaine has checked with Karate BC to see when the Spring Provincials will be. Waiting for an answer. Duchess Park is available in April.
New Business:
1) Al Belanger suggested that we pay for Sensei Corrigan`s flight to Plano, Texas for training with Sensei Suzuki at the end of October. He will let us know how much the airfare is. There is only $300 in the bank; the rest ($2000) is saved for the Building Fund.
2) Dan Wallis is needed to attend the black belt grading in October 2007. Al suggested that the advisory not pay for his airfare but have the candidates split the cost. Sensei Corrigan informed the advisory that Dan will pay his own airfare and Sensei Corrigan will pay his own airfare to go to Campbell River to attend the black belt grading there.
3) Al Belanger motioned that all proceeds from the Prince George Open Tournament stay in the advisory account and not go to the Zone. Steve Vanderstar seconded. All in favour. Carried.

Old Business:
1) Club jackets – Elaine asked Lynn and Al to try talking the new parents into purchasing jackets. We need four more orders before Custom Stitch will fill the two orders that we already have.
2) Annual Tournament – it was decided at the Zone 8 meeting on August 25, 2007 that the Nechako Karate Club would host a tournament on October 13, 2007. Elaine has tried to find a venue and has been unsuccessful. Linda Thompson and Elaine proposed that the tournament be postponed until April 2008. Elaine has checked with Karate BC to see when the Spring Provincials will be. Waiting for an answer. Duchess Park is available in April.
New Business:
1) Al Belanger suggested that we pay for Sensei Corrigan`s flight to Plano, Texas for training with Sensei Suzuki at the end of October. He will let us know how much the airfare is. There is only $300 in the bank; the rest ($2000) is saved for the Building Fund.
2) Dan Wallis is needed to attend the black belt grading in October 2007. Al suggested that the advisory not pay for his airfare but have the candidates split the cost. Sensei Corrigan informed the advisory that Dan will pay his own airfare and Sensei Corrigan will pay his own airfare to go to Campbell River to attend the black belt grading there.
3) Al Belanger motioned that all proceeds from the Prince George Open Tournament stay in the advisory account and not go to the Zone. Steve Vanderstar seconded. All in favour. Carried.
4) The medals have been ordered through Van Horlicks. They will be two inches round with a 1-inch dove and maple leaf in the centre with Prince George Open Tournament around the outside and maple leaves on the ribbons. We will print the date on clear stickers purchased from Staples and stick on the back. 125 Gold, 125 Silver and 250 Bronze.
5) Sponsors – ask Mariam Corcoran if she will organize the t-shirts. We decided to increase the donation amounts to $200 donation to get the logo on the t-shirt and poster and $100 donation to get the logo on the poster.
6) Registration packages – Elaine has used the Spring Provincials results to make sure that all the event categories are up to date. We have added a weapons division, team kata, Shitei kata and a Masters division.
7) Raffle Tickets – Kris Rolufs would like to have a Christmas raffle. He will fill out the raffle application and get the licence number to Elaine who already has the ticket draft from last year when we planned the raffle but couldn’t get the licence because our society dues hadn’t been received for 2005 and 2006.
Monthly meetings held on the third Monday of the month at 6:30 in the basement of the dojo. Everyone is welcome to attend and contribute.
