OCTA Minutes

March 5, 2008

 

Vice President and Winter League Coordinator David Heckel gave the final report on the Winter League. We congratulate our final four playoff teams of Cathy Sabbatini and Bill Oswalt, Jamie Mahalic and Murrell Godfrey, Beth Chandler and Richard Garrett, and Hayden Hiter and Greg Browning!  The winner of the league were Jamie Mahalic and Murrell Godfrey, CONGRATULATIONS!  A strong runner up were Cathy Sabbatini and Bill Oswalt, GREAT JOB!

Guidelines for use of the indoor courts were discussed and drawn up. Those guidelines will be placed on the website.

Treasurer Mike Roberts reported that the budget balance is currently $6, 345.31.

Member-at-Large Tommy Clemments mentioned the possibility of starting a Singles League in Oxford. This league would work in conjunction with USTA League.

President Joe Bishop opened the discussion of updating the OCTA website. The main goals that were discussed are as follows:

  • Creating some sort of schedule or calendar showing court reservations for John Leslie and Avent
  • Re-arranging and re-organizing certain aspects to highlight the more important areas of the website.
  • Taking photos and keeping information for the facilities page updated.
  • Maps and driving directions to the courts for out-of-town quests.

The floor was opened for discussion of OPC can do to help OCTA, as well as what OCTA can afford to make the public courts better. The OPC has agreed to fix the lights at the John Leslie courts. They are also in the process of getting quotes for pads to cover the light poles. There was also discussion about buying dividing nets for the courts to catch balls.

The next item of discussion was the date and name of the OCTA Summer Tournament. The date was changed, and is now set for June 6,7,8. The officers decided as a whole that the tournament needed a new catchy name. That name has not been decided and is open to suggestions. Details of the tournament weekend were discussed including possible off court events.

There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 8:45 PM.
 
Respectfully submitted,
