UMTA Board Minutes

The UMTA board met on Friday September 22.
Board members in attendance were Mike Hendrickson, Ben Winterer, Gordy Boggie, Vicky Boggie, Al Gohlike, Jean Gohlike and Marc Redman. The topics presented and the discussion / outcomes are as follows:

1) 2007 event schedule.
April 21 & 22 Theilman
May 6 TBD
May 19 & 20 Arkansaw
June 23 & 24 Gilbert
July 14 & 15 Theilman
August 11 Duluth (NATC National) Proposed
August 18 & 19 Duluth (Haggis Basher)
September 1 & 2 Gilbert
September 15 & 16 Quarry Cup (Central Regional-Non UMTA points event)
September 23 TBD
September 29 & 30 Baraboo (Non UMTA points event)
October 6 & 7 Cornhusker Cup (Central Regional-Non UMTA points event)
October 20 & 21 Theilman (Central Regional)

Considering the loss of our primary riding area, we will have a robust riding schedule with 16 points events (but not a place to call home) in 2007. This schedule is subject to change as land availability and dates are coordinated.

2) Land availability for the future.
You will notice two dates in the schedule that have locations TBD (To Be Determined), and one new location (Arkansaw, WI). The Arkansaw location is the only new land we have seen that will commit to hosting a club event. There are several other locations under discussion but no solid commitments. We must continue to keep our eyes & ears open to locate a new home for the UMTA. 


3) UMTA Board openings.
Mike Hendrickson will not run for President in 2007.
Brenda Peterson will not run for Insurance Communication Officer in 2007.

4) Faribault Farewell.
October 28 & 29th will be a club ground clean up and fun day. To show our appreciation for the years we have enjoyed in Faribault we must leave the club ground as we found it. Details will follow.
