TREASURER’S REPORT

Andy Marsh reported we had $2,066.71 in the Bank and $14.00 in petty cash.  As well the club has an inventory of 7 T-shirts and 5 bumper plaques.

 Three Items were on the agenda

1)    What do we want to do as a club?

2)    Do the club members desire to hold another BBQ?

3)    Do the members desire to open the club membership to others. 

CLUB EVENTS

On the question of What DO We Want to do as a Club…. Warren Grimm suggested the possibility of a Bus tour and offered 3 suggested destinations and costs.

1)    Detroit for the Woodward Dream Cruise in August.  Based on 3 different coach sizes ranging from 32 to 57 passengers, the cost per head for the bus only ranged from about $110 – 85

2)    Louisville KY for the NSRA Street Rod Nationals again based on bus sizes prices ranged from about $150 – 120 per head

3)    Carlisle PA for the Spring or Fall Carlisle Automotive Fleamarket and car show/sale.  Costs were estimated to be the same as the Detroit trip.

 The above does not include meals, lodging or bridge/highway tolls.

 Warren said he felt by soliciting participation from other area clubs.  A brief discussion followed however no motion was tabled 

ANOTHER CLUB BBQ

On the 2nd agenda item regarding holding another summer gathering BBQ there were two general suggestions.  1) The Strokers hold a Stroker event opening attendance to other car club members and former members. 2) Strokers hold the first of a proposed annual BBQ event inviting other clubs from the area to host subsequent annual events.

 Little support was offered for the 2nd suggestion so a motion was tabled by Harold Dale

MOTION by Harold Dale

Moved by Harold that the Galt Strokers hots an event in 2006 held at a local Cambridge facility and tickets will be limited to the size of that facility.

 The motion was seconded by Bob Dykeman and a for the most part positive around table discussion followed with many interruptions.

 A vote was called on the motion by Chairman Harold. The motion passed receiving unanimous support.

OPEN CLUB MEMBERSHIP TO OTHERS

The final agenda item was that of discussing the possibility of opening the club membership to others truly interested in the promotion of Street Rods and Vintage/Classic/Muscle Cars. 

A round table was held:

Harold Dale:  
Was in favour with two members required to sponsor new proposed members

Bob Drew:     
pointed out that very little rod building is going on anymore and question what the club may have to offer new members

Warren Grimm:  
felt the proposed structure would be boring to outsiders who were keen builders

Skip Matheson:  
Could find prospects at the proposed BBQ next summer

Dave Beattie:     
Felt we would need a club house – ed: much yelling and screaming NO NO followed

Grant Hughes:    
very important to bring in new members.  We also need to be more positive in our goals and not think failure of some goals.

Gary Thede:       
Just likes to enjoy the camaraderie with members

Paul Cassel:       
Supported the idea but felt that based on a social club there would be very few takers.

Andy Marsh:       
Was wondering why anyone would want to join.

Bob Dykeman:   
Club will die if we don’t open it up

Larry Ray:          
Wants all original club members to show their support by contributing $5.00 to become charter members.

MOTION by Larry Ray

Moved by Larry Ray that the Galt Strokers Car Club officially be reformed with each original member being eligible with all new members requiring at least 2 sponsors and on acceptance pay a $5.00 initiation fee.

Larry’s motion was seconded by Paul Cassel, a vote was called and the motion carried with unanimous support.

1) A discussion was held and it was felt that a fee should be charged of $15-25 per person and that corporate sponsors should be sought to cover mementos for all who attend. Warren Grimm, Larry Ray and John Galbraith volunteered to donate.

2) It was decided that 2 portable toilets would be required for the day- Dave Beattie to find costs.

3) It was decided and suggested by Dave Beattie that we should rent a tent, following this Bob Dykeman agreed to provide 1-10X20-tent, 2-10X10-canopy.
Also per telecom 4/23/04 Warren Grimm will supply at least 2 tents.

4) Dave Beattie suggested that he could get corn from his neighbors and supply a roaster and Warren Grimm also said that he could supply corn and a roaster.

5) Dave Beattie mentioned that he talked to Roy Butler (Custom Aluminum Foundry) and they could provide the original aluminum plaques for $18-20 ea in small quantity. Warren Grimm can provide the same through Ron Turner for $30.00 ea based on a quantity of 20 units.

6) Dave Beattie mentioned that his daughter and Jean Corbet have offered to help out in any way during the day.

7) It was discussed and recommended by "Skip" that we should consider a 'DJ' for that day instead of a 'blues' band- Skip is a very good friend of Hal Tilley's and he will discuss this with him.

  1. Eggs Race

  2. Spark Plug Changing Contest
