Della called the meeting to order at 12:20 Pm Saturday January 16th 2010.
There
were no minutes to the last NSQHA meeting.
Della ran through
a history of the club and the purpose. The main goals are to get more people out to the shows and to provide an umbrella organization
for the Dryden, Emo, Thunder Bay (and used to be northern Minnesota) associations to provide year end awards and recognition.
Rita Classen gave a report on the existing NSQHA bank account. The account has
not had activity for a couple years, but has a balance of $343.00.
The
executive positions were filled without a need for voting. The 2010 executive is as follows.
President: Lisa Koshel 937-2917
Secretary: Robyn Paquette 223-8334
Treasurer: Angie Lappage 937-5462
The secretary will look after the selling of NSQHA memberships as well as make
up an email list for any updates or information that we need circulated.
Matthew Oliphant moved that we transfer the funds from the existing NSQHA account to a new account set up in Dryden
for the purpose of the NSQHA. Motion was seconded by Mike Koshel. Carried.
Reminders as in the past, each club will pay the expenses from the banquet when they host it and NSQHA will purchase
the awards. $2 will be collected from each horse that competes each day at the qualifying shows and will be remitted to NSQHA
at the end of the show. NSQHA membership monies will be required to qualify for year end awards. Points will be calculated
form the day the membership is paid until the end of the year.
A
discussion was had in regards to minimum shows a person must compete in to have their points count towards year end awards,
it was decided there would be no minimum shows requirement, therefore;
Shannon Doudiet moved that high point awards are
based on the most points earned during the show season. Kathy Johnston seconded the motion. Carried.
It was moved by Colleen Wieringa that all NSQHA membership money be paid into the NSQHA account directly as a separate
membership for year end awards. The cost of these memberships for 2010 will be single $15 and family $30. Matthew Oliphant
seconded the motion. Carried.
A discussion was held in regards
to the classes in our shows for 2010. It was decided we will add Grassroots classes, walk trot classes, hunter hack and driving
classes to our programs for 2010. We will also be running the English classes first thing in the morning.
A discussion was held in regards to our website and the option of using an ning
group. It was decided that we would continue to use the NSQHA website for all updates and our hope is for 2010 that we can
all get our information in to the website administrator to update the site regularly to keep everyone informed of changes
and information. Some options were discussed around free websites, the general consensus was a website that is for information
purposes and not allowing comments would serve our purpose for the time being.
We discussed ways to keep our shows growing and it was agreed upon by all that the stake classes are a good drawing
card for competitors. We all agreed that the website will be a good tool for both information as well as advertising for our
sponsors. It was also agreed that our list of year end awards that we are going to be presenting be listed on the website
so people are aware of what they can be competing for.
Meeting
was adjourned at 1:55pm.
