Equipment Manager

Report by Shawn Kitchen.

Ready to make an order in the near future for new gear.  A pant with more stretch (manufacturer - T Litzen) will hopefully reduce the crotch tear outs.  Female shoulder pads – hope to order more as he has to order fewer helmets this fall.

The players are enjoying it although numbers are down this past week possible due to heat and family vacations.  Kids had fun playing the women’s and men’s teams

 

Future Stars Camp August 9-11 camp registration numbers are low so it must be determined whether to cancel or run it at a loss. Goal was to get 100 registrants, 75 are required to break even. 45 have registered to date. Fittings set for August 4 for Fredericton , August 2 for Oromocto.

 

Motion:   TK made a motion to take up to a $1500 loss on the camp if the registration numbers are low.  Motion was seconded by JD.  Motion passed.

Other

Terry has been approached by a sports betting website.  Discussed and decided that it would not be pursued.

 

Terry had discussions with the CFL about T Shirts for the squirt teams. He recommended that the shirts contain the CAMFA Squirt Flag football name and logo and sponsor name only.  Costs will be reduced by not having numbers on the shirts.
