MATTERS CONSIDERED

  1. Capital expenditure

Peter outlined the current quotes for the fence replacement behind courts 1-5. Atlas Rodek Fencing $15,494. Diamond Fencing $17490.

Discussion took place regarding the pros and cons of replacing 2 courts 8-9 with synthetic.

Pros:

No watering required, attract different type of member. Reputation improvement. Plexi cushion is soft. Suits players who are too lazy to water and bag courts. Can play in wet conditions. Attractive to people who are used to playing on synthetic courts and may encourage new members.

Cons:

$40K per court approx. including base. Potential 11 yr life (for some surfaces) vs 33 yrs for current. It was decided to take a detailed proposal to the AGM. Jeff to lead a group to formulate the costings and options. . JB SC J Stute (possible). Report progress at Apr meeting.
