- Budget
- For the spring we were under budget for everything
- Currently only 13 players have paid dues in full
- There is a new guy at Summit that is above our contact with Summit. He will not allow us to get cases of beer anymore to distribute for socials.
- Apparently they will not give us beer unless we have a liquor license
- We will have to buy kegs from HTR and food from HTR
- $175/keg for Summit, $150/keg for other beer
- If we are unable to figure out something with Summit, costs for socials will rise
- Schedule
- There will be no Jesse James tournament-Labor Day off
- Banshees match will stay on the original date
- Thor will talk to Metro D4 about playing them at All-MN
- Fundraising
- Brick was not in attendance, nor did he send anything in to Zweber
- Equipment
- Sally has not turned in any receipts for the equipment he purchased for the team
- If we cannot use the shed at the field to store equipment, look into renting a storage shed and place it in a parking spot
- Also we need a cart so we can move all the equipment to and from the shed without a dozen guys needing to do it
- Proposal motion-Purchase 2 game balls (5 layered) roughly $75/ ball.
- For 3.
- Against 0.
- Thor will setup a store on RA to sell Pigs gear
- Proposal-After guys order shorts from RA, the team will buy more shorts to break the price break (i.e. guys buy 10 shorts, lower price break at 15, we buy 5 more)
- For 3
- Against 0
- We will give guys a practice/match jersey for complete payment of dues
- Socials
- Fan appreaction day will be on our home Metropolis match (bounce house, food, etc.)
- Socials will most likely be at HTR with $5 a person
- We got a free 10×10 tent
- Lots of people want us to use Kemp’s Mom’s tent again
- Brute has the canopy-goose will pick it up from him
- Need to buy new poles for the tent-roughly $150
- City/Field
- Been no movement from the city for our contract proposal
- Zweber going to go back to them with a short term, 1 year lease with less requests (only have field Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays)
- Zweber got a quote from Dayton Bluff community field for much less than Maplewood field. Use it for negotiating leverage.
- We got approval from the city to place permanent posts
- Phoenix has a guy who can build posts for $2,400-20ft
- Buy a pair a posts on sale for $2,250-20ft
- Need to repaint the field. City painted the field beautifully but made it about 20 meters too short.
- Borrow Eric’s painting equipment-paint interior lines green, new lines white
- Recruiting
- Scrimmage with UST at their field
- Tour
- Goose needs to talk to Dicky about the tour/teams to visit
- Most likely visit Ireland, take ferry to Wales
- Pigs have old connections with Wales teams we should try to reconnect
- Try to play clubs from small towns not big cities, more likely to socialize with us
