- President’s
Report – Jeff Murdock reported on the recent FootballNB meeting he
attended. FNB would like
us to consider funding a provincial 15U roster for the 2010 Canada
Cup. It was suggested
proceeds from CAMFA Spring Football be directed to a prospective
provincial team. Jeff
Murdock was not in favor and expressed his opinion to the Executive.
Mr. Murdock also confirmed that the 2008 Bantam and PeeWee
provincial finals will be hosted by
Fredericton

Hosting Committee be formed to plan for the event.
Kent Murphy has volunteered to Chair a Hosting Committee for
the 2008 Provincials. Mr.
Murdock responded to a request by the Head Coach of the LHHS Lions
for support in funding a planned score clock and bleacher
fundraiser. It was the
intention of LHHS to provide season tickets to CAMFA Players for
resell in their communities. The
request was for CAMFA to fund in advance approximately $3000 with
the intent that sales of tickets would go back to CAMFA or players
directly to subsidize their registration costs.
The President and Past President could not support this cash
outlay at this time as resources are scarce heading into our fall
season.
