Hillclimb report - Ruth Hughes absent

Congress report - Mary says it’s not to early to start thinking of any proposals that anyone
may want to submit for Congress. Deadline is usually July 31st.
Tom commented on AMA putting the push on sound
enforcement but no RPM data is posted. AMA says that they need a
request from Congress to post the RPM data on their website.
Bill Kaeppner
reported on the new AMA, OMTA club - Hanging Rock club - and their event
they held. New clubs seem to be popping up everywhere and an effort
should be made to get them to join District 11.
Website/Newsletter - Jayne reported that the
newsletter was in the works. Tom asked if the membership ap was in each issue. It is when there is room.
Tom also commented on the charter fees that
clubs and promoters pay to belong to District 11. $10 plus $2 per
event is pretty cheap advertising for website and newsletter.
Thought should be put in to possibly raising that fee.
Old Business
Jim asked if proposals needed to be turned in
on the proposal form. It is only a formality but not necessary.
Kory Young was introduced. He represented
a new road club - Zanesville Trail Riders. They want to get
involved with D-11. Mitzi will send charter ap
to them.
Janet made a motion to adjourn and was seconded
by Marie. Before meeting was adjourned, Jim called an executive
session to discuss contracts. A new contract for Jayne will be
presented at next months meeting.
Regular meeting resumed. Although a
formal proposal was not made, the offroad
chairmen would like a copy of results that are sent to the office.
That way they are better equipped to answer any questions that may arise.
Reminder also that those that are e-mailing
results still need to send a hard copy to the office (as well as the
chairmen).
Meeting adjourned. Recorded by Cheryl
Willard, secretary
