C.        Treasurers Report

D.        Open Issues

Bar Clamps

Due to the ease of putting the modules together at the Council Bluffs show it is suggested that all members buy two clamps.

Ely motioned that the club buy 6 packages of bar clamps.  Richard will reimburse Dave who will front the purchase.

Some material was donated to the club.  Dave sold it at his hobby shop and the proceeds will go toward replacing damaged kato expansion track.  The club will still have to pay for the difference.

DCC

Do we have enough people that have DCC to have another track DCC?  Some time in the future we may have to purchase some more equipment.

E.         New Business

Trailer Shares

There was a discussion as to purchasing a trailer.  Dave Mrsny’s brother in law is selling a trailer in good shape.  It was brought up that if we all bought shares into it than this idea would be feasible.  Share owners would get their money back if they left the club and an attempt would be made to pay the share holders back.

Pro’s of a trailer would be ease of unloading and loading vehicles for every show by leaving the club owned material in the trailer between shows.  This could open up a more favorable attitude toward one-day shows and offer the possibility for the club to travel to national N-Trak shows.  Dave offered to keep the trailer on his property and register it.

Adjournment:

Meeting was adjourned at 3:45 PM by Scott Crites. .
