The meeting was chaired by Jim in the absence of Gary.

Erik provided, by email, the Treasurer’s Report depicting a current bank balance of $3,291.51 with all known debts paid.  He also reported that there are currently 114 EWMGA 2012 members.

The upcoming Canongate/Eagle Watch Member-Member Tournament (May 19^th & 20^th) was discussed regarding the Calcutta which will be run by the EWMGA.  The Calcutta rules and format were reviewed with Tony Jones and Billy Morrow volunteering to conduct the team auction on May 18^th.  The Board decided that the team prior buyout feature would be utilized this year with $500 established as the amount.  A flyer covering the Calcutta rules will be published and available at the auction meeting.

Discussion was held regarding the tee gift situation at the Crème of the Crop Tournament held on April 28^th & 29^th.  It is necessary that we arrange to acquire or exchange some of the tee gift vests due to proper sizes not being available for all participants.  Bob reported that he has discussed this need with Scott Szymoniak (Canongate/Eagle Watch General Manager) who indicated he can handle this request.  The Board decided to have Gary make these arrangements with Scott.

Bob presented the proposed format and budget for the One-Day Member-Guest Tournament scheduled for June 23^rd.  It was decided that the budget must be established based on either a break-even or better basis with the EWMGA not to fund potential overruns.  No tee gifts will be provided for this tournament.  The format is to be Best Ball.  Bob is to revise the budget and format summaries and email to the Board for information.

Bob also reminded that the EWMGA/Bridgemill Challenge Cup Tournament will be held on September 8^th & 9^th.

There was no further new business presented and this meeting was adjourned at 6:55 pm.  The next regularly scheduled EWMGA Board meeting will be held on Tuesday night (June 12^th) starting at 6:00 pm.
