The meeting began at 7:35 with these persons in attendance:  Michael Abbott, Vickie Weber, Jeff Chapel, Joe & Sher Martin, Mike & Carol Dobek, Mary Ann Schick and Rhea Thomas. Lynn was excused.

Minutes from the last meeting were read and approved. (Mary Ann/Vickie)

The Treasurer's Report was read and approved. (Mary Ann/Jeff) The $ were returned to Dave Smith as he will not be able to play because of illness.

No old business.

New business:  Vickie informed the Board that we will have new caterers for our Banquet in January.  It will be the same price as we expected.  This will probably change for the Spring Banquet.

The Youth Banquet is on December 15, 2012.  Darting is going well.  During play there is to be no cell phones or Ipods etc.  The use of them increases an attention problem.

We need a few boards from Rich and Sam's (2) for our banquet.

We must use NODA Property Form when allowing members etc. to borrow equipment.  This is in the light of Bottoms Up Bar borrowing some boards.  Rich will OK the deposit refund when boards are examined that were left at his house.

Banquet raffles will consist of $100, $50, and $25 cash.  Also, a membership for next year.  The Youth League will sell 50/50 tickets from 12 - 2 at our banquet.  There will also be adult 50/50 to be sold.

The Moe Crook will be held at Airway Lanes on February 16th at noon.

A Merry Christmas present exchange and great food was had by all!

Respectfully submitted,
Rhea Thomas, NODA Secretary

Minutes were read and accepted (Vickie/Lynn).

The Treasurer's report was read and accepted (Vickie/Michael).

Vickie announced that Airway Lanes was sold to Classic Lanes effective 11/14/12 at noon.  She was told there would be no changes.

Michael asked for verification on the format change requested by 1st Division some time ago.  He was told that they (1st Div.) did not supply a sample format change in the time allotted so the format was left as it is.  Michael thanked us for the information.

There was no old business.

New Business:
1.  A team walked away from signing their sheets due to tempers last week.  We need to reinstate the best sportsmanship award.  Keep your eyes and ears open in your Division for a possible candidate.
2.  Vickie would like to bring Jacob Sams, a 19 year old, onto her team in January.  The Board ok'd this.
3.  The League ok'd returning Dave Smith's  $60 due to Dave being extremely ill and unable to play darts.
4.  There is a 5 minute limit for any game in 3rd Division.
5.  Will put Airway (Benning) in NODA Hall of Fame at the Midyear Banquet.  They were next in line for this honor, and due to the sale we will do it in January.  Vickie will get the plaque and also speak at the Banquet.
6.  The menu for the Banquet will be: Chicken Marsala, Roast Beef, Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes, Green Bean Casserole, Fettuccini, Salad, Roll, Cheese Cake, Carrot Cake.  Dinner will be served at 5:30 and prepared for 80 persons.

The next meeting will be at Mary Ann Schick's home, Dec 4 @ 7:30.  Bring a dish to pass and a gift.  If you bring a gift you get a gift :)

The meeting ended at 8:45 pm.

10/2/12

The meeting started at 7:35 with these persons in attendance:  Joe Martin, Mary Ann Schick, Mike and Carol Dobek, Vickie Weber, Jeff Chapel, Rhea Thomas and Michael Abbott.  Lynn McClelland was excused due to illness.

The Miutes from the 9/4/12 meeting were accepted as read.  Vickie 1st, Mary Ann 2nd.

The Treasurer's Report was accepted as reported.  Mike 1st, Mary Ann 2nd.

Darryn McGrath recently lost his father, Jack.  Joe will take care of the bereavement issues for the League.

New Business (as there was no old)
Rule 2-A will read that the Home Team has choice for the night as to whether they want to See or Show a bull at the beginning of each game.

Rule 2-G-a will be changed from 5 to 3 minutes maximum for any one shooter to be ready for his next turn.

There are complaints about Duckett's Pub #4 taking to long to play the entire night.  All who play them should be aware.

Vickie suggested that the next meeting should be held on Tuesday, November 13th instead of the 6th (as the 6th is voting day).  All agreed!

The Youth League is struggling due to hormones and homecoming - This made for a lengthy time issue of play.  The adults dealt with it and will try not to let it happen again.

The meeting ended at 8:35.

Respectfully submitted,
Rhea Thomas, NODA Secretary

9/4/12

Those present for the meeting were:  Joe & Sher Martin, Mike & Carol Dobek, Mary Ann Schick, Jeff Chapel, Lynn McClelland and Rhea Thomas.  Vickie Weber was working.

Treasurer's report was accepted.  1st Lynn/2nd Mary Ann.

Minutes from 8/12/12 accepted with the correction that Lynn McClelland was excused from Last meeting.

Age Entry Minimums - Discussed the age restriction of 18-21 year olds in our League.  It was ok'd that an 18+ could join our League with Board approval.  The responsibility for this individual will be the Captain of the team that took on the 18-21 year old player. (Rule 1-A)

John Anderson entered the meeting at the end asking why averages do not decide the divisions.  It was explained per the rules and that in the past teams would use the rule for bringing in late players with higher averages to make their team excelled and thus probably win the division.  This is unacceptable and unavoidable once the schedule is made.  Therefore we will keep things as they are.

The meeting ended at 8:45 pm.

Respectfully submitted,
Rhea Thomas, NODA Secretary

 

8/12/12

Those present at 2:10 pm:  Joe Martin, Mary Ann Schick, Carol and Mike Dobek, Jeff Chapel, Vickie Weber, Rhea Thomas.  Michael Abbott and Lynn McClelland were excused.

The Treasurer's Report was accepted as reported.  Accepted 1st, Mary Ann Schick, 2nd by Vickie Weber.  All Accepted.

The Minutes from 5/8/12 were accepted as read.

Division Coordinators are as follows: 1st - Carol Dobek, 2nd - Mary Ann Schick and 3rd - Mike Dobek.

The League needs Score Sheets and Joe will order them.

The Cross Over Tournament was very briefly discussed and will be talked about again at a later date.

The Deadline for NODA Signup is 8/27/12.  All appropriate $'s due at this time.

Jeff discussed having dart oriented games at the Banquets.  These would be on the order of Carnival Games and would be in addition to the Woody Tournament.  A percentage would go to the player with the balance going to the League Treasury.  Our Banquets for this year are January 5, 2013 and May 4, 2013.  Mark your calendars now.

We were informed that there is a Facebook page by Pat Whalen.  It is the North Oakland Dart Players page.

Age Entry Minimums - A lengthy discussion of allowing 18-21 year olds to play in our League was had.  After they may no longer play on the Youth League, and currently cannot play on our Adult League until age 21, we lose them to other sports or plastic tip darts.  Our questions are: (1) Who's responsibility are they, as we play out of bars?  (2) How do we find out?

Mike Dobek will ask bars their opinion and Vickie will contact an attorney friend to answer these questions.  Most League members like the idea of letting 18 year olds onto the League as does Airway Lanes (per Vickie).

Our meetings will take place the 1st Tuesday of each month @ 7:30 pm at Airway Lanes in the Deli.

The next meeting is also Package Pickup on Tuesday 9/4/12 at Airway.

Respectfully submitted,
Rhea Thomas, NODA Secretary

Treasurer's Report (Joe Martin)
Will not need to order plaques for Fall League as enough were acquired in the last purchase.  The report was accepted as presented.  Lynn 1st and Mary Ann 2nd.  All in favor.

Minutes of 4/3/12 (Vickie Weber)
With correction of gift cards for the banquet and package pick up at Airway not Ducketts, the Minutes were accepted as read.  Mary Ann 1st and Lynn 2nd.

No Old Business.

New Business:
?? displayed unacceptable behavior at the End of the Year Banquet.  His language, actions toward others and his lack of sportsmanship has lead the Board to write a letter (by Lynn McClelland) reflecting disapproval of his behavior.

Complaints concerning the food at the Banquet was addressed.  These complaints were already expressed to Dad's Deli.

Our Division Coordinators are as follows:  1st is Phil, 2nd is Mary Ann Schick, 3rd is Mike Dobek.

1st Division was unhappy because they thought they would get to vote on a new format change for their division at the Year End Banquet.  This did not happen.  The information for the February meeting was on our web site for 6 weeks prior to the meeting and only 2 1st Division players showed up at it (along with 2 on the Board).  The Board requested a written format idea and got none then or since.  The Board decided tonight to keep the integrity of the League and not change the 1st Division format at this time.

The next meeting will be on 8/11/12 at Rich McClelland's home.  There will be a meeting, and if nice outside, we will repair boards.  It will start at noon.  Please bring a dish to pass and your own beverage.

The meeting ended at 8:45
