* not playing in the WORL A/AA League ? subject to final association clarification

Chatham and Exeter both requested to add Petite teams and it was decided there were too many Petite teams to run a full home and home series. Scott will try to set up 2 pools in this division with cross over games. All teams were reminded that they must attend 2 tournaments with one of them being out of region, in order to qualify for Provincials. These tournaments must be played on or before the January 8^th deadline.

Scott stated the reason that some teams were left off of schedule was because they did not submit their available ice times.

Any conflicts in schedule should be rectified between coaches and the division convener. All information must come back to Scott through the convener.

Conveners are as follows;

Petite – Bill Rodgers bill.rodgers @monsanto.com

Tween – Murray Spivey dspivey@rogers.com

Junior – Kathy Walt kathy_walt@hotmail.com

Belle – Elora Fergus (to be named)

Luc reminded everyone to fill out game stats on the wrra.ca web site after each game and that the game report form to the region is a separate G & T process due on the 5th of every month. London indicated that templates for electronically submitting this form are on http://www.londonringette.org. This is important.

White copy of league game sheets are to be mailed by the home team to Keith Kaiser 159 Sherwood Cres., Dorchester Ont., N0L 1G3. Please mail copies at least once a month with final first schedule copies due by Dec. 31.

Eligibility for 2 team player is as follows; player must have played in at least 5 games with A or AA team before January 8^th in order to play with that team at Prelims or Provincials. This applies to all players (not only 2 player) on the team TRF.

$350 bond per association was due tonight. It is mandatory to provide this cheque by the next meeting if it was not submitted tonight. Bond is used to cover unexpected game cancellations and fines. Cheques may be mailed to the treasurer Keith Kaiser.

New Business

Discussion on whether or not it was necessary to have meetings on a monthly basis. Coaches do not have to attend all meetings but executive and conveners must meet on monthly basis. Coaches are encouraged to work through division conveners.
Bill Kaiser needs all association Referee in Chief contacts. Bill would also like each association Referee in Chief to pre submit referee list for games so the officiating committee can have the opportunity to evaluate the officials at the A/AA level.
Mitchell Belle A team is in desperate need of a goal tender. Anyone knowing of an interested person is asked to contact Belle A coach.

Next meeting November 9, 2004.
