- Membership feedback on number, format and timing of tournaments
- Too bunched together in October
- Orinda home and away ...
- Sign up invitation was not out to the entire membership, this was a mistake
- RTC will be crystal clear that Inter-Club tournaments are open to everyone, with the understanding that the captain will put up the strongest line up from those available
- Trilogy Rio Vista ...
- Have mutual difficulty getting enough participation because of the travel and the restricted courts at their location
- Board will consider dropping this event next year and formalizing the Orinda relationship
Facilities - Bill Van Wagoner
- Rechargeable Blower will be considered at December meeting
- Any members with old towels are requested to donate them for court cleanup by putting them in the lockers at Buckeye
- Court conditions: some cracks are getting wider, causing concerns about safety
- Jeff Matheson MOD has a standard about vertical offsets before resurfacing; told no cracks are dealt with until there is a "safety" issue
- Players consider this a safety issue even without a height difference as shoes can catch in cracks
- Chris Slee mentioned that courts were regularly patched at high schools in the Midwest, between resurfacing
- Recommendation to take this directly to GRF planning committee
- Backboard ... talked with GRF about doing a 50-50 split. Have not yet got to point where we can submit proposal as Bill has been looking into getting a second hand board. Note, recent designs are also sound deadening
