Will the masters be on july 6 also ?

[Mr. Espey]

We have never had a masters competition at Provincials.

[dsteff]

I thought it was voted on a open masters last provincals

[Mr. Espey]

You might be right... I have to dig out the meeting minutes and check. If so then they will definitely be on the Friday night following the youth event.

[Brian Kehler]

I was under the impression that we voted against it because it went against the whole reason we cut back on weight classes in the first place?

I have a hard time believing we'd get enough masters competitors there on a friday night to make it worth while when in past years the open tournament hasn't even been what we hoped for turnout...

Besides, it's provincials... you just have to be there to qualify for Nationals..

Just my 2 cents.. prove me wrong and I'll eat my words.

[Terry Palaschak]

I was there and it was passed so start chewing Kehler.

[Mr. Espey]

Terry... you were not there for the actual meeting. You guys did not show up until a full 24 hours after the meeting.

But yes the Masters class is in. The awards will not likely be the same as the open for the first year. This is just to see how it goes and we will vote to keep it or not at the AGM to follow.

Reminder to the directors that I need some circuit tournaments set up... pretty soon.

[dsteff]

Hey Kehler , do you want fries with that .

[Brian Kehler]

yes please
